He Who Remains references
Everything about He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), and the citadel he resides in, was inspired by a movie. The building itself was supposed to feel like Grey Gardens or Sunset Boulevard—films with large, lonely spaces for characters to live. For the character himself, it went even beyond that. The Wizard of Oz, of course, but also Citizen Kane, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and, again, Sunset Boulevard. Also, every piece of his wardrobe is from a different era of time, teasing how long he’s been around.
