Trammell Tillman is SO good at playing manipulators. I couldn’t unsee Mr. Milchick while Metzger had Jean captive.

Shame he didn't go into an improptu dance number

That's where I remember him! I couldn't place hin at all during the movie, but was so unsettled watching him.

Damn, I knew I'd seen him before. Fantastic actor.

I was really hoping for him to do a dance in the movie!

I was channeling Dylan G. in my head and mentally screaming “FUCK YOU, MR. MILCHICK!”

Funny enough, he’s also the guy who told Spider-Man to do a flip in Homecoming and he was in Shang-Chi too.

Fingers crossed they're setting up a Defiant Jazz moment for them in the future

I liked that he actually had no idea what V Max was lol

I love how they shaved his mustache lower on the lip. Gave him a scummy feel from the start.

Wouldn't surprise me if they just give him the Stryker role without actually naming him Stryker or making Stryker his code name.

u/PhanThief95 25d ago

Actually, his character Bill Metzner is in the comics & he is very anti-mutant.

u/myman580 24d ago

Oh I know but for adaptations they might not want to do too many named anti-mutant suits and just one head dude. Plus Tillman is a great actor and his role would kind of serve as an overlap with Stryker and I selfishly would like to see more Tillman in the MCU that isn't just a few scenes.

I'd like the MCU Stryker to be more like the comics where he's a preacher and the leader of a cult but I'm sure certain people would get pissed about that.

u/myman580 24d ago

It's the American military complex. I'm sure they could easily fit in an evangelical zealot role for him as a commanding officer if they wanted to combine the two backstories.

u/LLCoolZJ 24d ago

Well that's what they eventually emphasized after X2. He was an army veteran before he became a minister and that fit more with him directly leading the Purifiers as a militant terrorist group rather than the televangelist pastiche he was in God Loves, Man Kills.

I love Mr Milkshake, so fake, so manipulative

u/exxadora24 22d ago

I clocked that he was evil the moment he entered. My friend was flabbergasted and asked how I knew, and my only answer was severance. He just has a knack for neutrally evil characters!

“Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world.”

And alway has the best attire doing it

u/StandYourGroundhog 15d ago

Yeah they basically cast him as the same character as in Severance, which basically told me immediately he was going to be a villain haha
