Peter Isherwell is one of the two main antagonists (alongside President Janie Orlean) in 2021 Netflix satirical black comedy film Don't Look Up.

He was portrayed by Mark Rylance, who also played Terry Cox in The Gunman.

Biography[]

When the mission succeeds and then aborts, he discovers that the comet is composed of more than trillions of dollars' worth of rare-earth materials.

He creates a new invention when Mindy discusses him about business instead of human evolution, but Isherwell threathens him for calling business and leaves.

BASH's attempt to strike the comet apart using their own spacecraft made by Isherwell's crews, but it fails due to six out of thirty spacecrafts are malfunctioned, and the comet's still whole, leading Orlean, Isherwell, both as cowards, and the rest fleeing Earth on a spaceship designed to keep passengers alive, leaving her son Jason behind. While fleeing the Earth, the comet hits and nearly all of humanity is killed (excluding Jason, who got lucky and survives thanks to staying in the reinforced bunker).

After more than a twenty-thousand years, a few people including Orlean who flees Earth before the extinction, lands on a new formed Earth. Leaving their ship nude, Isherwell decides to reform their new life, but Orlean was eaten by an alien creature known as Bronteroc. More of them prepare to eat them, including Isherwell, who futilely tries to deescalate the situation, off-screen, leaving their fate ambiguous and its implied they were all eaten afterwards.

Personality[]

He was a tech billionaire CEO of BASH and one of Orlean's top donors. In reality, he's also a greedy and self-absorbed businessman who secretly discovers that the comet is comprised of rare-earth materials, wants to mine it and let the comet hits everyone.

Trivia[]

Peter Isherwell was compared to billionaire and tech magnate Elon Musk, with his appearance that resembles Craig Federighi.
