00:00Congratulations on this film. This is a very physically demanding role, but
00:03there's also a lot of times where you have to be really quick on your feet, so
00:07what would you say was kind of like the craziest drill that you had to run
00:11through while training for this?
00:12Oh, we have a sequence that goes underwater and I get
00:15dragged through the River Thames by a helicopter, which is mad in itself that
00:20that's a sentence. Yeah, we were doing underwater training for that. Yeah, that
00:26took about a week of training and in order to do stuff like that it was kind
00:30of intense and that's just one of many things that we do in this movie.
00:35A lot of crazy stunts. I also want to ask what was it like going toe-to-toe with
00:38Russell Crowe?
00:39Oh man, it was everything. I mean he is a legend. I'm like in
00:42awe of him. A huge fan growing up and still am and he is fantastic in this
00:48movie. He's perfectly menacing, just the way you want to see Russell Crowe and you
00:52know he praised my father and we get these scenes head-to-head and it was
00:56just a moment of being, yeah, sort of a dream, a dream-like moment, you know.
01:01Where do you see Craven's story going next? Is there the possibility of bringing
01:05Spider-Man into the mix? I gotta ask.
01:07I think, you know, this first movie is for
01:10everybody, the audiences, come see it and I think by the end of the
01:13movie you're gonna want to see him go on and it's up to you guys, you know. This is
01:18all over to you now.
01:19Very quickly, we're asking everyone the same
01:21question on the carpet. What is your favorite film of 2024 outside of your own?
01:29Well I'm still yet to see some. I want to see The Brutalist because of
01:32Alessandro Nivola's in that and yeah, I'm gonna say that one. I'm gonna look
01:37forward to some.
