This episode is part of my Luke Up series which celebrates James Gunn's Superman film and I’m thrilled to be joined by the amazing Trevor Newlin. Mr Handsome!
Trevor is a talented creature actor who’s brought some unforgettable characters to life — including a Wookiee, a Xenomorph, and most recently, the scene-stealing Mr. Handsome in Superman. We chat about his journey from theatre in Texas to the world of big-screen movie monsters, and how a life-changing moment with Doug Jones helped launch his career in suit performance.
He shares stories from the set, the creative process behind Mr. Handsome, and what it felt like when James Gunn himself praised his performance (yes — Groot comparisons were made!).
This episode is full of heart, laughs, and a behind-the-scenes look at the magic of practical effects, collaboration, and why Mr. Handsome might just be the most comfortable creature suit ever made.
I loved this conversation, and I hope you do too — let’s Luke Up and fly into another Superman adventure!
