The actor also joked that while sharing the film with his son, he had “to fast forward through the scene with Malin Akerman in the ship,” referring to his sex scene in the movie.
Wilson played the Nite Owl in the dark film about the implications of a world where superheroes are real.

“I just wanted to look at it as an older guy, as a filmmaker. I knew Zack was ahead of the curve,” he said of giving the film another look. “It’s weird to say that audiences weren’t ready for it. But you need a movie like that. You need movies to go so dark that then Avengers can go so light. I do believe in that.”
“Watchmen” also starred Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, with a screenplay by David Hayer and Alex Tse.
