David Dastmalchian talks about his new comic book – Knights Vs. Samurai

David Dastmalchian has fast become one of Hollywood’s go-to actors. He might be best known as Polka-Dot Man in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, but he’s also starred in the Ant-Man movies, Oppenheimer, The Dark Knight, and Late Night With The Devil, among many other roles.

David is also a prolific comic book writer, and we got together to talk about his new comic book produced with Todd McFarlane, Knights Vs. Samurai.

David is an amazing guy, super fun to talk to, and we discuss his new book, his career, working with James Gunn and Todd McFarlane, and more! Oh yeah, and Todd McFarlane tried to join us, but his internet connection wasn’t working, so we only chatted for a second.

Check out the full half-hour chat below!

Knights vs Samurai is out on 25th September 2024.

Sir Charles Ward, “The Dragon Butcher,” has achieved knighthood, acclaim, and is leading a legion of royal warriors on a noble mission, yet his self-doubt and grief haunt him. Venturing to a mysterious island in the Far East, Charles leads his diverse assembly of fighters (including a giant and two clerics) to seek vengeance against savage monsters who ambushed a group of English missionaries. Arrival on the island reveals that the truth may be drastically different from what Charles was led to believe, and the “savage monsters” he will face are actually a regiment of skillful warriors the likes of which he has never seen.
