In the last film, you were one of the mutants who don't accept that they're mutants, and try to change. How are you in this film? What's happening in this movie with Hank?
Hank doesn't like the attention. He's ashamed of it. He doesn't want people staring at him and pointing fingers. He's still not at peace with his appearance in this film.
How have events over the past ten years affected Hank? He's seen the Cuban Missile Crisis, and now Vietnam and Watergate. Has that affected his world view in any way?
It's affected him completely, because in those ten years, they've built the house, the lab, the school. This has all been happening, and a lot of the teachers and students have been recruited and drafted for the [Vietnam] war. So that's made the situation in the house regress a little bit, and made Charles retreat into himself even more. And Hank's been more of a support for him. So that's all linking in, and that's the brilliant thing about being able to mingle and slightly change history in a film, and have fun with it. Where events everyone know how they happened connect to the mutant thing.
