“What I love about Logan is he’s got a wicked sense of humor,” Cox said. “He knows how to get people going, and he deliberately shakes people up. He’s constantly making people wake up, even though it’s brutal in a way. I have a lot of respect for him.”

This is far from the first time that the outspoken actor has shared his strong opinions. He recently recalled turning down a role in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise and revealed that he thinks Johnny Depp is “so overblown, so overrated.” Related The 11 Most Anticipated TV Shows of 2023 Julio Torres Sets New HBO Comedy Series After ‘Los Espookys’ Cancellation Related 17 HBO and HBO Max Original Series to Get Excited About in 2023 The Best Film Sound of 2022
“I mean, ‘Edward Scissorhands.’ Let’s face it, if you come on with hands like that and pale, scarred-face make-up, you don’t have to do anything,” Cox said. “And he didn’t. And subsequently, he’s done even less. But people love him. Or they did love him. They don’t love him so much these days, of course.” Cox was also one of the earliest and most outspoken Hollywood opponents of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, going on a memorable rant at the Screen Actors Guild Awards where he expressed support for Russian artists when it was unpopular to do so. “But the thing that’s really distressed me is what’s happening in Russia to my fellow actors and actresses and performers and writers and critics. They are told, under pain of high treason, that they cannot say a word about Ukraine. And I think that is pretty awful,” he said. “And I think we should all stand together. And also for those people in Russia who don’t like what’s going on, particularly the artists, I think we should really join in celebrating them and hoping they can actually make a shift, as I believe they can.” As for “Succession,” Cox will be seen suiting up as Logan Roy again very soon. Near the end of June, HBO confirmed the start of production on Season 4. Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news! Sign up for our Email Newsletters here.
