Manage episode 406193259 series 3394374
James Marsden is good at keeping fans on their toes. Following his Emmy-nominated success with ‘Jury Duty,’ Marsden has three very different projects in 2024, the first being Michael Keaton’s ‘Knox Goes Away’ (March 15). “I like to take opportunities that are very different tone, and this was just like, ‘Wow, you’re in the company of great people here and how would I ever say no to this?’” Later this year he’ll star in ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3.’ He says part of the franchise’s success is that they’ve always wanted to “be like ‘Fast and Furious’ meets one of those films. We want there to be action, we want the jokes to be smart.” If that’s not enough, he’ll also appear in Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story.’ While raspberry is Marsden’s flavor of choice, growing up, “Pop-Tarts was a luxury thing that I’d go to the bus stop and see my other friends eating. Like, what’s this shiny aluminum- encased treat?” At this point, Marsden is proud of his genre-shifting career; he credits it with always aligning “yourself as much as you can with the best directors and the best material.”
