Django Unchained

Jackson plays Stephen in the western, Django Unchained. A German bounty hunter played by Christoph Waltz frees a slave named Django, played by actor Jamie Foxx, and asks for his help. In return, he agrees to help Django find his slave wife and free her as well. Unfortunately, she is owned by a ruthless man named Calvin Candie, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. On director Quentin Tarantino:

Quentin writes the stories and he presents the character to me, and I look at it and say ‘okay, this is a good challenge, I’ll do it.’
