‘Mickey 17’ director Bong Joon-ho has insisted Mark Ruffalo’s antagonist was not based on Donald Trump.
The 55-year-old filmmaker addressed speculation that Ruffalo’s egomaniacal politician Kenneth Marshall was inspired by the US president, but Joon-ho has stressed the character was not based on Trump and was instead influenced by “a mix of many different politicians” and “dictators that we have seen throughout history.”
