I feel like I'm ready for any dangerous situation that might come my way, provided I have a hammer on me.

I grew up in a household with two brothers and we lived in the bush. We were constantly building weapons and forts and things. But I didn't set out to be an action hero.

Sometimes there is more exploration in the character for a villain.

You have the massive world that was created by Marvel, and then you have these very intimate actors around you. There was as much character work on this as there would be on a little independent film. So, I felt very fortunate in that sense.

I'd like to think I'm a normal sort of guy, but go to my mum and she'll probably say, 'You know,Chris was always the daughter out of my three boys.'

The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel.

I get to stay active and that is my job at the moment, so I can't complain.
