You probably remember how Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the sequel to 2019’s blockbuster hit made waves on the internet last year. The movie reunited viewers with many incredible actors, including the beloved three-time Oscar nominee Edward Norton. This masterful artist played the role of billionaire tech mogul Miles Bron, an egomaniac entrepreneur who welcomed an eclectic group of friends to his yearly mystery party. If you have watched the movie already, what would you like to call this character who destroyed the lives of his friends just to add more numbers to his brimming bank accounts? A backstabbing disruptor? Selfish capitalist? A robber? Well, if you are unable to find the right words to describe this villainous character, we have the perfect name for him given by none other than the portrayer himself.

Edward Norton recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about his new series Extrapolations. During the conversation, the actor also opened up about how he landed the role of Miles Bron in Glass Onion. The Red Dragon star revealed that he only got the role because he could play the guitar in the movie. “Enough people have seen the movie. I don’t think it ruins it that my character is a kind of revealed to be a pretentious idiot,” he told the host.

Moving forward, the American star stated that he presented an idea for the guitar scene where he played the Blackbird. He asked the director to create a clashing scene between the song composers John Lennon and Paul McCartney to make this character look more convincing.

However, to keep the movie clear from any kind of controversy, the filmmaker turned down the idea. Meanwhile, Norton has now moved on to a new role that considerably matches his real-life passion.

Edward Norton on how Extrapolations is a reflection of future 

Talking about the latest release Extrapolations on Apple TV+, Edward Norton compared this climate change series to Black Mirror. This show dives into the possible outcome of the environmental challenges we are facing today. It gives viewers a message about nature in the most entertaining way.

The actor liked working on this project because he himself has been working as an environmental activist and social entrepreneur for years. Also, he is the UN Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity that works to secure and save the environment from destruction.
