Skarsgård proves delightful as Murderbot, nicely juxtaposing his own imposing physical appearance with Murderbot's awkwardness around humans. With just a flit of his eyes or a twitch of his mouth, Skarsgård conveys all of Murderbot's emotional discomfort. Pair that with his much more sarcastic voiceover to get even more hilarious contrast.

In the AppleTV+ comedy based on Martha Wells' "Muderbot" books, Skarsgård endured body waxing pain to play an awkward killing robot.

Based on Martha Wells' novels 'The Murderbot Diaries,' 'Murderbot' follows a rogue cyborg security robot protecting a crew of nonviolent scientists.
