Domhnall Gleeson Clarifies Rian Johnson Wrote Hux’s Big ‘The Last Jedi’ Moment

Via Comicbook.com:

Actors can’t always anticipate how their comments will be interpreted during press interviews in support of a film, as evidenced by The Last Jedi’s Domhnall Gleeson wanting to clarify recent remarks. The actor gave the impression that he had created a moment for his character Hux in the film, yet wanted to assure fans that the moment was, in fact, crafted by writer/director Rian Johnson.

“It’s funny, Kevin Smith was asking me that yesterday. And it was funny, I was saying that was something I talked to Rian about, that we added in to the thing,” Gleeson clarified to Uproxx. “And I realized it sounded like I was saying it was my idea, like that actor who’s always like, ‘That was all me.’ Rian wrote that, but after we’d had a conversation about making the change.”

The moment in question saw Hux enter Snoke’s throne room after Kylo confronted his master, with Hux drawing the conclusion that Kylo was an even bigger threat than he imagined. Instinctively, Hux goes for his blaster, only to remember that the weapon would be virtually useless against the Sith.
