According to actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, his version of "Scar is not a cool and collected British lion with an angry streak; he's more of a powder keg ready to explode." In an interview, he remarked on how his version of Scar is more "psychologically possessed" and "brutalized" than the one played by Jeremy Irons in Il Re Leone (1994). The original Scar, whose treacherous character mirrors Claudius in Shakespeare's Hamlet, tended to give off an air of strength and confidence, while having a violent temperament stirring underneath. But this time around, Ejiofor indicates that his version of Scar is more openly obsessive, frustrated, and enraged. "There's something quite interesting in knowing that you're always holding a lethal capacity," he said. "At the end of it, you're playing somebody who has the capacity to turn everything on its head in a split second with outrageous acts of violence."
