'Watchmen' Actor Matthew Goode 'Excited' For Prequels

Controversy aside, "Before Watchmen" isn't without fan support. Several readers are looking forward to the creative teams attached to DC Comics' planned "Watchmen" prequels, but there's another high profile someone looking forward to the work: "Watchmen" actor Matthew Goode.

"I'm quite excited to see what they come up with," Goode told Digital Spy in a recent interview. "In some senses, my character [Ozymandias] was the one character where everyone else gets a bigger chunk of backstory. I'd quite like to know what was going on. See if I was right about some of the choices I made!"

Goode recognizes that "Watchmen" without original creators Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is a tough act to sell, but he's still excited about some of the names attached to the prequel comics.

"It's not Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons doing it, but they've got some of the best [writers and artists]," he told the site in a video interview. "Who knows what will happen with that? Whether it will be made into a prequel or not?"

Whether a "Watchmen" film prequel is on the way or not remains an interesting question. But Goode seems pretty sure that director Zack Snyder would not be back to tell further stories about Ozymandias, Rorschach and the rest.

"Zack would have loved to have [Moore's] involvement, because the book is so revered and its one of his favorite things in the entire world," he said. "Whether Zack would be involved in it again I don't know, he's pretty busy."
