In the new Prime Video action-packed spy series 'Butterfly,' Perabo is Juno, the evil head of a private intelligence corporation in South Korea.
'Playing the villain is so much fun,' Perabo tells me. 'I think the villains in Hollywood keep that secret to themselves so that they don't have to give up the great parts. I think it's so relaxing. The getaway car pulls up to you, there's no running. You have an endless supply of weapons. It's very relaxing.'
'Butterfly,' based on the graphic novel series of the same name, follows David (Daniel Dae Kim), Juno's former partner, who comes out of hiding to save his daughter, Rebecca (Reina Hardesty). David had left Rebecca in Juno's care nine years earlier when he faked his death after one of his missions went terribly wrong.
Juno not only raised Rebecca, but she trained her to be a blood thirsty assassin.
'I like how clear Juno's sense of purpose is,' Perabo says. 'I always think of her like when you were a kid and you're on the athletic fields and there's this parent on the sidelines who's screaming at their kid and just humiliating them and pushing them. That's who I think Juno is.'
In 'Butterfly's' 6-episode premiere season, Juno tries to win Rebecca back when David, with his new wife and young daughter in tow, convinces Rebecca to escape to Vietnam for a new life.
Both. I'm usually the one who's assassinating people [Perabo starred on USA Network's 'Covert Affairs' as a CIA agent for five seasons], so it's weird to just point and tell others to kill people, but I thought I'd give it a try. Maybe I'll come back to the assassinations if I am given a chance.
Right? And he even took the time to have another wife and another daughter. I know David thought he was protecting Rebecca, but I think she was better off with me. I think it's better over at Juno's house. Why? I have a lot more money. You can work for me and make your own money. It's very healthy over at Juno's house compared David's. It's not safe. There are a lot of secrets. Juno's is much more nine-to-five.
I was shocked, but also I was excited, because I feel like it leaves us in a really yummy place. I think this series has a lot of tentacles that can spread out and move in a lot of different directions. One of the things that was fun about being at Comic-Con with 'Butterfly' was that Marvel and DC are amazing and have legacies and a depth of all these myths, but it's so much fun to be in a new universe. When I read the last episode, I was excited because I thought this leaves a lot of open windows.
Juno doesn't trust anybody, even her own son Oliver [Louis Landau], and she figures out a way to kind of live with you anyway. Juno's not gonna burn the bridge just because you screwed her over. There's a lot more juice in that orange, so let's not just throw everything away. Like I said, Juno has this clear sense of purpose. It would be foolish to get rid of Rebecca.
Juno doesn't eat very much. Juno doesn't like to consume very much. Everything has to be so controlled. And then [showrunner Ken Woodruff] said, 'When you finally get Rebecca, you are going to be able to just relax and have a burger.' And I was like, 'Oh, really? OK, we're gonna need a lot of burgers.'
A lot.
No, I ate them all.
I think she probably showers in them.
It's very out of the armored car and into the private jet. Very cab to curb.
A lot, a lot, a lot. Even in the opening of the first episode of Rebecca in the hotel. I remember the costume fittings for that when Reina, who plays Rebecca, was like, 'The strap of the purse needs to be this long if I need to strangle him, but I also have to have my entire [getaway] hotel outfit in the purse.' I was like, 'This is my kind of fitting.'
A little bit. In my case, we talked a little bit about Juno's hopes and dreams. I want to put her in the worst situation possible and watch her dig her way out. I want even more guns.
[Laughs]. There's no update. A couple of days ago, somebody did call me and told me to stop talking about it. I probably shouldn't say that either, but it's all really fun.

The Cast And Creators Of ‘The Buccaneers' Talk Season 2: ‘It Feels So Nice To Come Back To It'
The second season of The Buccaneers ended with many plot twists the audience probably didn't see coming, and one of them is the death of Josh Dylan's character, Richard, killed by his own brother, James, played by Barney Fishwick. James spent months searching for his wife, Jinny St-George, portrayed by Imogen Waterhouse. Jinny and Guy both fled to Italy, away from her violent husband in order to keep herself and her baby safe. Guy, who has been taking care of her newborn baby, finds out that James has been in contact with Jinny, and he urges her to leave immediately. Jinny, still under James' influence, thought that her husband had changed. It really took Guy to help her realize that James would always represent a danger for her and her baby. Waterhouse said, ''That scene, she was coerced back into this idea that he's changed, and that he's really a good father and good with the baby. It took Guy to snap out of it, like out of hypnosis.'' Fishwick added: ''It is horrible to see. In those coercive relationships, what you're seeing is what the coercer is doing, by chaining them into a landscape, encouraging them to see that it's impossible for them to exit without him, impossible for Virginia to exist without him. So, even though she has escaped away from him, mentally there's still that part of that brain, because it's been coerced, and he has gaslighted her, that create this dependency. You separate them from the people in their lives, their whole happiness, their whole ability to survive is dependent on one person.'' On Richard's death, Fishwick added: ''It shows the extant to which he's wiling to go to cease any kind of control and power, to insert himself.'' Matthew Broome, who portrays Guy, has been supporting Jinny while she was struggling to adapt tp her new life, especially when it comes to motherhood. Broome said, ''He ultimately finds that this is the life he wants for himself. Obvioulsy, he wants to be with Nan, but I also think he has so much more fun this season. He gets to let loose and have fun, ultimately this is what he wants, he wants to have a family and have a good time.'' In between the many cliffhangers and shocking revelations, The Buccaneers is also a show about friendship and sisterhood. If some of the girls, from their positions in society, or just by strength of character, have the abilty to change each other's lives, I asked the cast in what way this show has changed their own lives. Waterhouse said, ''We're so lucky that everyone gets along really well, and it just feels very easy and fun. We've all made friends we'll take with us forever.'' Broome added: ''This job is my first job, and a formative part of my life. You've all been a part of that, that will always be a thing, forever, in all the other jobs I do. This is where it all began. And it feels so nice to come back to it.'' Another character that finally gets to speak up and stand up for herself is Honoria, played by Mia Threapleton. In one final and decisive scene, she reveals to her mother that she is in love with Mabel, portrayed by Josie Totah. She also anounces that she is going to go to Paris to teach. Knowing that this was Threapleteon's last day on set, it gives even more intensity to this powerful momentum. I asked the creator of the show, Katherine Jakeways, and the executive producers, Beth Willis and Joe Innis, what it meant for them to be able to give the flowers to a character who has been so unhappy and disrespected by her own family. Jakeways said, ''That's such a lovely thing to say, I'm so happy you said that. We love Honoria, and actually it's so interesting because if you go back to where she starts, the first episode of season one, she hardly speaks at all, she's got 2 or 3 lines in that episode. She's expected to sit quietly as all English girls were. She's observing it, and her eyes are watching all these Americans who've come in, and they've got this agency and energy.'' She added: ''Mia is so brilliant, I also think Fenella [Woolgar] who plays Lady Brightlingsea is brilliant in that scene, actually. And just the relationship that they have, even when they're grieving. And Lady Brightlingsea is just taking Honoria for granted. But Honoria have this strength from all the things that happened to her, and what she witnessed and admired in the girls.'' Willis added: ''I like to believe there's a slight twinkle in Lady Brightlingsea's eyes as Honoria walks away after she's kissed her, like 'Actually you've shocked me and there's a tiny bit of me that's impressed.' This season, some of the sets and costumes felt more modern than the first one, so I asked Willis how they made the decision to add these modern elements and sets into the story. She said, ''We always try to keep one foot in the period, while obviously we gave the locations and the sets a glow up this series. But I remember with the Midsommar's night party, we looked into the fact that there was a form of glitter and confetti that existed then, although we weren't obviously using that product on their faces or to throw in the air. We were always looking for this period thread that we could pull, to keep a grip on it being a period show, whilst also having the freedom to play. Also we wanted to make it feel more magical, because you want to have an experience every time you're watching those sets and set pieces, those parties.''

Bob Odenkirk Talks Potential ‘Nobody' Quadrilogy, ‘Pluribus' Hype and Not Missing Saul Goodman
Nobody has had a career quite like Bob Odenkirk. It was one thing to go from a comedy writer and performer on SNL in the late '80s to his own beloved HBO sketch comedy series, Mr. Show with Bob and David, in the mid-'90s. But to reinvent himself as an equally effective comedic and dramatic actor in his late 40s and 50s — largely due to his roles as Saul Goodman and Jimmy McGill on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul — is something nobody saw coming. The later career twists and turns for the 7-time-Emmy-nominated actor weren't over yet, as Odenkirk took on yet another challenge that nobody anticipated: action franchise star. More from The Hollywood Reporter Sharon Stone Has a "Moral Code" When Playing Bad Guys: "Villains Really F*** Up Your Life" 'Nobody 2' Review: Bob Odenkirk Faces Off Against a Scenery-Chomping Sharon Stone in Entertaining Sequel After Crediting 'Nobody' Workouts for Saving His Life, Bob Odenkirk "Never Stopped Training" for Sequel In 2019, Odenkirk starred in and produced Ilya Naishuller's Nobody right before his 57th birthday, and the actioner about long-retired assassin (aka 'auditor') Hutch Mansell released to strong reviews during COVID in March 2021. The action-thriller took in a box office haul of $57.5 million against a $16 million budget, which was music to the pandemic-stricken industry's ears at the time. Odenkirk spent years training for the action role, utilizing the same program that John Wick co-directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski designed in order to turn Keanu Reeves into John Wick. Thankfully, Odenkirk's fitness regimen helped save his life when he suffered a near-fatal heart incident on the set of Better Call Saul's final season in July 2021. Once he received a clean bill of health, he recommitted himself to his rigorous Nobody workouts regardless of his and Universal's interest in a Nobody 2. 'It was more that you've got to exercise when you get older,' Odenkirk tells The Hollywood Reporter. '[David Leitch's] 87North and [Chad Stahelski's] 87eleven are two different concerns now, but they lift from every kind of fight tradition, so there will be people at their gyms who do jiu-jitsu, karate, judo and boxing. It just makes for a more entertaining workout.' In the first Nobody, Odenkirk's Hutch has to reignite the sleeping assassin within himself after his family was frightened by a botched home invasion. This story point was inspired by a couple break-ins that Odenkirk's own nuclear family endured over the years. In the now well-received Nobody 2, Hutch, his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) and their two kids are all leading separate lives and sorely need a vacation to reestablish their familial bond. So Odenkirk once again channeled his real life by having the Mansells travel to a waterpark-centric town à la the Wisconsin Dells that his family of origin twice went to in the '70s. 'The family I grew up in, we went on two vacations in my life. There were seven kids in my family, and we didn't have enough money to go to Hawaii or Disneyland,' Odenkirk recalls. 'So we went to the Wisconsin Dells in a station wagon, and the kids were in the back, sweating and complaining. Of course, the Dells was not as impressive as it is now.' As a result, Nobody 2 director Timo Tjahjanto combined the thrilling mechanics of Naishuller's Nobody with elements of National Lampoon's Vacation. However, the fun and games on the screen had a brief period of concern behind the scenes due to Odenkirk's various responsibilities as a leading man, uncredited writer and producer. 'There was a point where I was losing a lot of weight. I could tell people were worried, but I feel fine. When you get closer to filming, you do two workouts a day, and when you're doing that, you're stressing as well,' Odenkirk says of his then 62-year-old self. 'I don't have a writer's credit, but I was deep into the writing on these films, especially the second film. So I didn't go home and have a massage and go to sleep. I went home and worked on the next day's screenplay.' At this past Monday's red carpet premiere, Odenkirk was joined by his Better Call Saul partner in crime, Rhea Seehorn. The dear friends remain supportive of each other's work, including Seehorn's highly anticipated upcoming series, Pluribus. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, along with co-EP Peter Gould, once took Odenkirk aside on the Bad set to gauge his interest in a spinoff series that would eventually become Better Call Saul. Gilligan then gave Seehorn the same treatment on the Saul set by offering her the chance to lead his very secretive new sci-fi endeavor for Apple TV+. As expected, Odenkirk is hyped to see his friends' creation. 'I know it's going to be massive. Massive! It's going to be the biggest thing, well, since sliced bread, but really since Game of Thrones. I can't wait,' Odenkirk shares. As for Better Call Saul, Odenkirk doesn't exactly miss playing his triple role of Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman/Gene Takavic. He devoted 14 years of his life to his complicated, multifaceted character, and the slippery sad-clown lawyer was a lot to handle throughout Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The same goes for Hutch Mansell, but Odenkirk is still keen to make a couple more Nobody films so that he can keep developing the Mansell family's dynamics. 'Both Hutch Mansell in Nobody and Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul have a lot of impacted frustration inside them. They're guys who, for different reasons, have pretty big chips on their shoulders, and that's hard to play after a while,' Odenkirk admits. 'You can't just carry that guy around all the time. So I'm fine with moving on from them both, although I would do more Hutch. I would do a third or fourth [Nobody] film.' Below, during a recent conversation with THR, Odenkirk also discusses the reason why he had to pump the brakes on Nobody 2, as well as the unsung hero behind his transformation into an action star. *** The first came out in March 2021 during COVID, and it did very well by pandemic standards. Did you still have to twist some arms to get the sequel greenlit? No, not at all. The biggest challenge was finding the right story. (Odenkirk apologetically asks for a brief pause.) My wife had some furniture redone and it weighs a lot. So I didn't want to watch this guy try to carry it on his own; he could have hurt himself. So thank you for waiting. Oh, don't mention it. We played around with different stories for Nobody 2, and it was hard to find a story that felt right. I kept asking myself, 'What is the real reason people liked the first one so much? What is it?' And I didn't mean the obvious stuff like the fights being good and a little more visceral than what you're used to seeing. At the core of Nobody was this guy, his family and the tensions within it that all seemed authentic. You could almost say that everything up to the bus scene is an independent movie or a Richard Linklater film about a couple coming apart because of a stupidly mishandled home break-in. But then it ramps up into this magical world that only exists in movies. So if the couple were somehow chummy and on good terms again at the end of the first film, how are they now feeling tension again? There was a lot of back and forth and a lot of outlines and even a lot of screenplays. [Co-screenwriter] Derek Kolstad and I talked all the way through it, and then all of a sudden, Universal was like, 'Okay, we're going to make it.' And we were actually like, 'Well, we haven't got the script figured out completely.' We definitely had the bones of what you see now, but it wasn't like, 'Ah, now it's done. Can you please make it?' I didn't feel that way. So we had to get to work and really focus on it, and then we arrived at a script that I thought was good. One of my goals in this story was to not have the first bad guy you meet be the actual bad guy. There's this middleman, John Ortiz's Wyatt Martin, who is a mirror of Hutch because Hutch also works for somebody [Colin Salmon's The Barber]. Are you from the Midwest? Have you been to Wisconsin Dells? I'm not from the Midwest, but I lived there for a few years and visited the Dells during that time. The Tommy Bartlett Show, Tommy Bartlett's [Exploratory], Tommy Bartlett's everything. [Writer's Note: Bartlett was a Wisconsin showman whose water-ski show served as a popular tourist attraction at the Dells from 1952 to 2020.] Wyatt Martin is our Tommy Bartlett. He owns the town [and the Tiki Rush waterpark]. He's the bad guy who's sitting behind the sheriff's desk when you meet him, but he's really under the thumb of [Sharon Stone's Lendina]. So the first film's mechanics that I thought really worked for the audience, I wanted to go through a version of those again. [Writer's Note: Odenkirk met Stone at an awards show and eventually wrote her a note to see if she'd play a James Bond-type baddie.] Some Odenkirk family misfortune inspired the aforementioned home invasion in the first film, and you previously told me that you tapped into those negative experiences during Hutch's phenomenal bus fight. Did any Odenkirk family vacation stories work their way into ? Yes, but not my current family. The family I grew up in, we went on two vacations in my life. There were seven kids in my family, and we didn't have enough money to go to Hawaii or Disneyland. So we went to the Wisconsin Dells in a station wagon, and the kids were in the back, sweating and complaining. Of course, the Dells was not as impressive as it is now. It's got six waterparks now that are amazing. So we wanted to have Hutch take his family to a place [called Plummerville], which, in his mind, is the coolest place [from his childhood]. 'You can't believe it, the waterpark is so huge!' And then his kids, who are 13 and 18, get out of the car and go, 'What? This isn't huge.' And he's like, 'Oh, right,. I was nine when I came here.' The fact is [Plummerville] is just a little rinky-dink for his kids' ages, but they're making the best of it. We wanted to have that series of disappointments that can happen when you're a parent and you take your kids on this trip that you're so excited about doing. The unimpressive waterpark is then closed when you get there, and you even booked the wrong hotel rooms. You didn't think twice about putting the two kids in the same room. You just weren't thinking, and you go, 'Shit, this is supposed to be fun. Fuck.' You kept your training going in between films. Was it less about a potential sequel and more about the fact that it was credited with saving your life on the set? No, it was more that you've got to exercise when you get older, and it's a more interesting workout than almost any workout I've ever seen anyone do. It involves boxing, sometimes. It involves yoga, sometimes. It involves all these different disciplines. [David Leitch's] 87North and [Chad Stahelski's] 87eleven are two different concerns now, but [Dave and Chad] were together at the beginning. They've done all the John Wick movies and Deadpool 2. They lift from every kind of fight tradition, so there will be people at their gyms who do jiu-jitsu, karate, judo and boxing. So they steal from all of these different fighting styles, and it just makes for a more entertaining workout. Did anyone ask you to pace yourself or dial yourself back given your health scare between films? Yeah, there was a point where I was losing a lot of weight. And people … I didn't hear about it directly, but I did eventually. I could tell people were worried, but I feel fine. (Laughs.) When you get closer to filming, you do two workouts a day, and when you're doing that, you're stressing as well. Stress drains your brain, it drains your energy and it drains your body of minerals. Did you know that? I did not. It does. 'And that's why you should take a multivitamin,' said the old man. My dad just got on me about this. I don't have a writer's credit, but I was deep into the writing on these films, especially the second film. So I didn't go home and have a massage and go to sleep. I went home and worked on the next day's screenplay: what we were going to actually say and do, and what changed and what didn't work. It always amuses me how Daniel Bernhardt keeps dying in these 87North and 87eleven movies and returning as new characters. It's a great running gag. Absolutely. There's a lot of conversation about what facial hair he can have to feign towards the idea that he's a different human. I love Daniel, and he is the man who trained me to do this. He's put in so many hours, and I have deep respect and appreciation for his friendship and skills. So I love the guy, and as far as I'm concerned, if I ever get to make another action film, he's in it. He was here yesterday. We did a workout together. Do you have another in you for a proper trilogy? Well, I genuinely like doing action scenes. They're fun to invent. They're actually similar in creative joy to sketch writing. They're three-to-six minute pieces, generally, and if you do them right, they have a story to them. You should be able to describe a fight with a few words; you shouldn't say, 'And then they fight!' Because then you're just making a blah action film. You should say, 'The duck boat fight is a fight where he's trying not to fight. This is a supremely out of control fight. He's lost control, completely. He is genuinely out of energy, and he really won't make it through this.' Each fight should have a character unto itself, and it should have a little bit of a journey, just like a sketch. So I was surprised to find that parallel, and I spent so much of my life writing sketches and loving that form. So I'd do more [Nobody]. I'd love to do more of it, but I don't think I'm going to dig right in. I have another action film called Normal that's coming out [at TIFF 2025], so that's already in the can. But, right now, I think I want to do some comedy if they'll let me. You recently reunited with your collaborators Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn at San Diego Comic-Con. How much have you let them tell you about their new series ? Nothing. I don't know a damn thing. But I know it's going to be massive. Massive! It's going to be the biggest thing, well, since sliced bread, but really since Game of Thrones. You probably know what's biggest [lately], but probably since Severance. I know Severance, in its way, is a big, big effort. So I think that [Pluribus] is going to be the next big show, and I can't wait. comes out three years to the day since went off the air. You played that collective character of Jimmy/Saul for 14 years. Do you miss him at all? No! He was great, and I enjoyed playing him. Both Hutch Mansell in Nobody and Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul have a lot of impacted frustration inside them. They're guys who, for different reasons, have pretty big chips on their shoulders, and that's hard to play after a while. You can't just carry that guy around all the time. So I'm fine with moving on from them both, although I would do more Hutch. I would do a third or fourth [Nobody] film. It would be about the journey of the family and the tensions that change as you move from one chapter to the next. You tell yourself, 'This is going to be it now. I'm going to enjoy this chapter of my life and I'm going to be carefree.' (Laughs.) But then you find that it has just as many frustrations and shortcomings as the last chapter. Earlier this year, you also reunited with your brother, Michael McKean, on Broadway in . Was that new context both strange and interesting after three years together on ? Broadway was a strange experience. It was very unique in its tensions and pressures, but Michael has done it many times. So he was actually a source of calm and confidence and joy because he's a blast. Nobody got more laughs than Michael McKean in that show. He was so funny, and he's one of the funniest and best actors in America. God, what a blast it was to be around him for that. ***Nobody 2 opens Aug. 15 in movie theaters nationwide.
