Julian heeft zich in een recent interview uitgelaten over wat hij zou vinden van een eventuele reboot van de serie ‘Nip/Tuck’ waar hij 6 jaar lang in te zien was. Vooralsnog zijn hiervoor nog geen plannen.

Julian McMahon may be best known at the moment as the mysterious and powerful Jonah in Marvel’s Runaways series, but way back when (in 2003, to be precise) he was better known as plastic surgeon Dr Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck.

And, in good news for the writers and broadcasters currently caught up in the renewal and revival series trend, McMahon reckons that a revival of Nip/Tuck would be “fascinating”.

Speaking to Digital Spy, the actor reflected on how the series started “right at the precipice of the plastic surgery industry”, and added that he still finds his character “pretty interesting”.

“It’d be pretty fascinating to pick up those guys this far into it, with what’s happening now,” he said.

“And those characters – that’s one of the most extraordinary characters I’ve ever seen, Christian Troy. And I don’t see why we couldn’t see him at any stage of his life. I find him pretty interesting.”

McMahon also added that when he read the script for the show – from American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy, fact fans – he knew he had to play the part.

“When I first read the script, I had to play that guy. I could see it and I could feel it. It felt like part of my system,” he continued.

“They didn’t want me to play that part. That was a really difficult job for me to get. But I was so determined to play that part that I just wasn’t going to give up on it.”

Nip/Tuck ultimately aired for six seasons between 2003 and 2010, while McMahon’s current series Runaways is about to head into its second season, with the actor promising that the new run will be very faithful to the comic books.

“It was almost like, the first season was a prologue, and now we’re getting into where the comic book starts to run,” he told us. “Season two, I think, is pretty faithful to the comic book.”

Marvel’s Runaways season 2 premieres on Wednesday, January 2 at 9pm on SYFY. In the US, the second season begins streaming on Hulu on Friday, December 21.
