Speaking to Digital Spy at the movie's world premiere, the actor said that he took inspiration from Watchmen illustrator Dave Gibbons's template for his character The Comedian.
"Hopefully [I'll bring] some swagger," Morgan said. "Maybe a little Cannonball Run, some Sharkey's Machine, who knows? Maybe a little bit."
Discussing his role as a government-sanctioned vigilante, Morgan said: "He's the dark side of the superhero film we're doing here. [He's an] alcoholic, nihilist, doesn't treat women very well. All the good stuff that superheroes probably should do!"
Watchmen is released in cinemas on March 6.
