WARNING:<\/mark> <\/strong>This Article May Contain Spoilers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was trying to find out exactly who Druig was in the comic books and it seems not much is actually known about him other than he is Ikaris\u2019 cousin (that wasn\u2019t mentioned in the film\u2026) and worked for the KGB\u2026does this make Barry Keoghan\u2019s Irish accent out of place? Some also think his character may have been based on the Greek deity, Dolos, for the Eternals <\/em>film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunkirk<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                I\u2019m going to be completely honest \u2013 I went to the cinema to watch this when it first came out and it genuinely felt like more than 1hr 46 minutes! I just felt it was slightly artsy. I want to say this film is kind of broken up into segments \u2013 at least at the start anyway, and we meet Keoghan in segment 2 The Sea: One Day<\/em>. He plays George who doesn\u2019t actually speak very much \u2013 but then, no one really does. What I did notice however is that this may be the only film I\u2019ve seen him in without his natural Irish accent. I\u2019d always thought that his character was related to Mr Dawson, played by Mark Rylance, and Peter but it seems he\u2019s either a friend of Peter\u2019s or just some local boy. I actually forget, however, that Cillian Murphy\u2019s character accidentally kills George but I love the fact that they don\u2019t tell him he is the cause of George\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calm With Horses<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You actually hear Barry Keoghan before you see him in this film. His role Dymphna is only a small one in comparison to the main storyline, which focuses on Douglas trying to balance his violent side with being a good father. It seems to me that the main purpose of Dymphna is as Douglas’s driver even though he’s supposed be to the head of his father’s side of the family business. It’s weird to see him go from the sweet young lad in Dunkirk<\/em>, to quite a dark instigator of violence in this. The problem is you can see that really his character is all talk – the fact that in the pub, Douglas has to finish what he started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standby<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Honestly, I was starting to think I was going to have to watch this film a second time because I\u2019d blinked and missed Keoghan\u2019s appearance! 1 hour into the film he finally arrives, playing young pot-head Crusty. He speaks very little, a few lines intermingled with giggling because he\u2019s high. I\u2019ll be completely honest, his character is pretty hard to talk about because he\u2019s barely on the screen for 5 minutes but then again it is hard to get hold of many of the films he starred in before Eternals <\/em>so here we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honorary Mentions<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                For an actor that I had never heard of before, Keoghan had actually done quite a bit before taking on the role of Druig in Eternals<\/em>. For example, Dunkirk <\/em>was actually the second war film he appeared in as he had already featured as Sean Bannon in \u201971. <\/em>I wanted to watch Trespass Against Us <\/em>just to find out why his character was called Windows but I was unlucky not get hold of it. He also starred alongside MCU compatriot Evan Peters in American Animals.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
