Michael K Willimas opens up about his role in Lovecraft Country.
via People:
Viewers first meet Montrose after his son Atticus (Jonathan Majors) and brother George Freeman (Courtney B. Vance) and family friend Letitia Lewis (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) traveled through the Jim Crow south to rescue him and bring him back to Chicago after he was kidnapped by the wealthy, powerful and white Braithwaite family — who runs a magical cult in Ardham, Massachusetts.
(Atticus was lured to Ardham by Montrose. It is later revealed that Atticus is a direct descendant of the cult’s sinister founder Titus Braithwaite, and he is coerced into participating in a ritual by current cult leader Samuel Braithwaite to open a portal to Eden fueled by his blood.) (LoveBScott)
