Is excellent in this.
Glad to see him back to a meaty acting role.

Yes, having just watched the trailer I was coming here to say the same thing.
Always interesting to see how foreign actors handle our Australian accent. Most have a hard time with it.
According to the trivia section Dev spent eight months preparing for the role.
For all of you from Australia, thank you for allowing us to enjoy the movie without concern for bad feelings.
shareWas going to say the same thing, an overseas actor putting on an Australian accent that actually sounds Australian, not an over the top bastardisation of The Crocodile Hunter. Good work Dev!
shareFrom the trailer, it sounds like he's done an amazing job! There's not one word that sounds even slightly wrong. He must have an incredible ear for accents.
agreed. it must be the first time a non-aussie has actually got the accent right. usually they are terrible (I am looking at YOU Benedict Cumberbatch - wtf was that nonsense in the film about Julian Assange)
shareI thought Michael Fassbender's Australian accent in The Light Between Oceans was excellent.
shareHis Australian accent was very good. Spot on in fact. It's a tricky accent to get bc unless you're doing a pastiche of it (eg 'G'day cobber') there's not a lot to work with.
