Why the sentries is not a French -style Captain

No, Louis Peres “did not think at all of Chris Evans” at all by playing the super soldier of the trenches of the channel +series.

A serum, a super-soldier intended to defeat Germany, in a world war changing…

No, you are not at Marvel, but on channel more. The sentries, which continues this evening on the encrypted chain, obviously resonates with a certain Captain America. On paper, the parallel is obvious. And yet, the creator Guillaume Lemans refutes the comparison:

“It’s not really the same thing,” says the screenwriter at first.

“Taillefer, the hero at the center of the series, is not even really a superhero. Yes, there is this language of the French army, increased soldiers. But we are more in a story of monstrosity. It is more Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde than Captain America in my opinion.”

No, these sentries are not avengers of the Trenches made in France. And Guillaume Lemans also prefers another model, that of the competing stable:

“If we absolutely want to compare with American superheroes, I believe that we are much closer to DC Comics than Marvel. There is more Batman side at Taillefer, something very dark, a tortured guy, in the atmosphere. What these characters live is much harder: a relationship with monster, addiction to drugs, the throes of war. Superhero maybe. “

What does the actor Louis Peres think? We asked the Sentinel’s main interpreter if he had thought of Captain America by playing Super-Soldat. But he assures first “not to have thought of Chris Evans at all!”

Because he does not see Gabriel either, Taillefer code name, as a masked avenger:

“I do not see him at all like a superhero. On the contrary, for me, it is a total antihero. This serum has increased its strengths, but also its flaws and therefore its weaknesses.”

And Louis Peres also prefers to cultivate the comparison with DC: “We approach the Batman more, the version embodied by Robert Pattinson. The sentries are this kind of broken, very dark, violent hero, who fights against himself, with his interior demons.”
