“Run it down.”
So here he is: Mayor of London, Magnus Crome in all his glory. He appears in a new “Mortal Engines” featurette around the 42-second mark alongside Hugo Weaving’s Thaddeus Valentine. It is brilliant to see Patrick Malahide and Hugo Weaving (a favorite of RFodchuk who chose him as a Wished for Co-Star) working together.
Crome looks fantastic, if a bit more mayoral looking than what I initially imagined based upon the book. It seems some poor little city is about to get the chop as he issues the order to “run it down.” Yep, he’s a villain alright.
