00:00Welcome Harrison back to a sunny day in central London. Your relationship with this place
00:05goes back to what, back in the Star Wars days, lodging in Notting Hill. How has this place
00:09changed over that time and do you kind of miss being able to skulk around unnoticed
00:14like you might have done in the old days?
00:17Well obviously London's changed a lot, the world's changed a lot. It was a very exciting
00:24time then, it's a very demanding time now. London's always very vibrant and exciting
00:35place to visit, especially when the sun shines.
00:39Indeed on the rare occasion. Speaking of vibrant and exciting, you're joining the most vibrant
00:44and exciting franchise in the movie business at the moment in the MCU. Let's talk about
00:48hulking out. Ruffalo's had a kind of monopoly on that in recent years. Did you take any
00:53pointers from him for this one?
00:55No, he wasn't available for a consultation, I just had to wing it. I hope he's not disappointed.
01:02I'm sure he's not. I'm sure a few fans would like to see whether you guys go toe to toe
01:07to work out which one is the superior.
01:09Hulkier.
01:10Hulkier, which one's hulkier, yeah. I think taking over from the great William Hurt in
01:15Thaddeus Ross, is that the first time since Alec Baldwin that you've kind of picked up
01:20off somebody else's role. Does that bring a new challenge, a different sort of challenge
01:24when you're taking over a role that somebody else has played so well?
01:26Well, I'm not sure that the parallel between Alec Baldwin and Bill Hurt applies to what
01:36I've done, but it then becomes your responsibility to fill out the shoes that have walked before
01:44you. And I have a lot of help from the script, because the character's life becomes more
01:53complicated and interesting, perhaps. But the level of dramatic involvement here is
02:06very high. It's kind of operatic. And I, of course, I had not been in part of a Marvel
02:14film before, but it was very interesting for me to be part of it.
02:19Talking about dramatic involvement, over in the States at the moment they have decided
02:24there would be a sort of Hollywood envoy of the likes of Gibson, of the likes of Voight,
02:29of the likes of Stallone to improve the situation in Hollywood. Does it need anything?
02:33Thank you very much. It's really been nice talking to you.
02:35Very nicely done.
02:36Really, have a nice day. Beautiful day.
