And now, in an interview with Attitude magazine, actor Dan Stevens has revealed some more details about his character, including a “big secret”. Spoilers ahead In much of the promotional material released so far, it is clear that Stevens will be the antagonist to Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams’ Icelandic underdogs. But Lemtov will have more layers than the one-dimensional baddie we saw in the trailer. Stevens tells Attitude that the character has a big secret — he’s LGBTQ. This is significant given that Alexander is from Russia, specifically Chechnya. The former Downton Abbey celestial body elaborates. “He’s the anti-hero. He’s an obstacle for Lars (Ferrell).
