Javier Bardem discussed his role as Max Cady in an Apple TV series remake of "Cape Fear," aiming to create a new, complex version of the character distinct from previous portrayals by Robert De Niro and Robert Mitchum. The series explores Cady’s psychological torment of a lawyer and prosecutor, emphasizing modern themes such as digital intrusion and the effects of the justice system. Bardem sought Robert De Niro’s blessing before portraying the character and worked to infuse Cady with a Southern accent, reflecting his background. He highlighted that this iteration of Cady is driven by a sense of injustice and victimization, contrasting the character's criminal past with a more nuanced psychological profile.
