You can't swing a lightsaber replica this week without colliding with some Star Wars The Force Awakens news. The bulk of which is coming from a bumper EW special.
Domhnall Gleeson is up next and has been talking about his role as General Hux, who by all accounts is pretty ruthless
“There’s an air of superiority, and being better than those people around you. He’s pretty ruthless. A strong disciplinarian would be a mild way of putting it… “You don’t get that high up in your life that quickly unless you’re pretty ruthless. You have to put a few people down on the way to get there.”
And besides bring ruthless, Hux also has a huge thirst for power
“It’s in the title: order. It’s a desire to lump everything in its place and just have power. The desire for power is hugely motivating for a lot of people and normally the people who want all the power are not the ones who should have it.”
And while Kylo Ren and Hux are on the same side, they certainly have their differences according to Gleeson
“He’s kind of opposite Kylo Ren. They have their own relationship, which is individual and unusual. One of them is strong in different ways than the other. They’re both vying for power.”
