Metroid Movie Project
Nick Bean for Ian Malkovich
Ian Malkovich is Samus's squad leader and younger brother to their commander, Adam Malkovich. While he was shown in the game, Metroid: Other M, this is a slightly different take on him. He's a good soldier who respects his brother and sees potential in Samus. He wants to smooth out her rougher edges though as she tends to want to do things on her own. The problem is, even he knows the Federation's strict regulations are often at odds with what should be done. He wants to find a balance, if possible. For his voice, he's a young man that can put out a tough persona, but he's not gruff. For the audition lines, he is reprimanding Samus after she went rogue during a training exercise. Try to give a sense of exasperation along with a slightly commanding presence.
Every time Samus. Every time you think someone’s in trouble or something’s gone wrong, you have to step in. Ellen’s trap was approved by the Federation and designed to counter situations like what she was in. These simulations aren’t so we can do whatever we want. We can only work within the knowns and guidelines set by our leaders.
