Watch: ‘Insurgent’ Toronto Premiere

Insurgent had its Canadian premiere last Tuesday night in Toronto, drawing some of the film’s stars to the red carpet. Jia Courtney and MJai Courtney and ekhi Phifer stopped by to chat.


​Jai Courtney is back as the villainous Eric Coulter. But at Tuesday’s premiere, the Australian actor tried to describe his character as “misunderstood”. 

He’s a complex character … [he’s] very insecure,” Courtney told CBC’s Deana Sumanac-johnson. “But, yah, he’s definitely a villain,” he admitted.

American actor Mekhi Phifer, who plays fellow baddy, Max, the leader of the Dauntless faction, also sought to paint a more nuanced portrait of his character.

“People always describe him as bad,” said Phifer. “But I think he really believes in his code. I think he believes in the code of [bringing] order. Obviously, society is going toward disorder and I think he’s really holding onto the future of mankind.”
