Montgomery said to The Daily Telegraph, “Hugh has become a good friend and a mentor of mine”.
“I feel like it is an amazing opportunity as a newcomer in the Australian acting world to craft my own story, to craft my own path and journey and Hugh has been a really amazing advocate of mine. I almost wouldn’t want to do that whole scenario injustice by trying to step into that space”.
The Stranger Things star also said that although he enjoys watching superhero films, he isn’t drawn to playing one.
“This is an interesting moment for me, I am not really interested in doing a super hero film, it doesn’t really interest me at this point. I am really trying to craft something that my childhood self really dreamt of when I watched small independent films with cool filmmakers and gritty engaging harrowing stories. But I still love to go to the cinema and watch stuff like X Men”.
