I think it’s fascinating when iconic characters are placed in new settings. It not only pays homage to the original but also challenges both the actor and the audience to rethink what that character means in a modern context. When done right, it can deepen the lore while keeping the character relevant

I do like to see iconic characters placed in new settings and do not feel that it is a bad thing to see them do this. Most actors like a change or a challenge and this often gives them that. Not only that, but we as the viewer also get to see them face those challenges and often pull them off.
