Tom Hiddleston and Tom Holland: Loki and Spider-Man Panel | ACE Comic Con Seattle

[Music] [Applause] ladies and gentlemen Tom Hiddleston hi everybody thank you so much can everybody hear me okay I just want to say I've met so many of you over the last three days and it's been so lovely to hear all your messages and you've somebody to give me letters I haven't read them yet I haven't had the time but thanks for coming and thanks for showing up man it's lovely to see you all [Music] it's pretty great isn't it yeah you know one of the things you guys worked so hard on movie sets for many many months you meet the crew and the cast but you don't get to see the fans like this you know this is a different experience for you like being on oh it's always it's always special I mean we all of us think by the way I send apologies from my brother from another mother Chris Hemsworth who's hard at work but we always talk about on the set how these movies don't exist without the audience and I've been doing this for a while now and and the pleasure I think is that is that the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe feels like a family and you guys are is invested in it as much as we are and this is this is it's cool it's such a absolutely and it's such a tribute to what Kevin Feige and and and Lou Esposito and all the Marvel folks have put together and and and for you dating back to Thor back when I met you when you were making the first Thor film they say that the the most important thing in a hero movies the villain and how great is it that you could hold the screen like in the first Avengers movie there's a lot of heroes in that movie there's only one bad guy and he's the best bad guy come on yeah I've enjoyed it it's um it's been a it's been a roller coaster that's for sure yeah and you know let's talk a little bit about the the most recent film yeah it was very hard seeing you expire on the screen you know there was a tough moment but there was it was a it was a wonderfully acted scene and there was something very special in it because as we were talking backstage you identified yourself for the first time yes yes so so I've known about that scene for two years and yep and I first was I went to see Kevin Feige and Ludi Esposito in at Marvel in May of 2016 and they were actually telling me the story of Ragnarok and they had concept on images and a script and and and the Russos came in and I was introduced to them and they all for them sat me down and said so this is how infinity war begins and so the whole my whole journey through making Ragnarok what I knew this was coming and it was so that by the end of Ragnarok keys Loki's been accepted as Thor's brother again as his friend it his ally and I found it very when I came to shoot the scene in infinity war I think it's very powerful that he calls himself an Odin son and that that closes the whole journey of Loki in what we were trying to do Kenneth Branagh you know with what we can Branagh introduced these two characters as two princes in Asgard both of whom were were born to be together in a way and in that film he finds out he's not an odin son by birth but the fact that he looks his brother in the eye and says I'm an Odin son is a huge journey of redemption and catharsis and so I I yes and it's a powerful scene I knew that actually the scene was instructive and important in the film because it sets the stakes up emotionally it sets the stakes up drama ethically you know that Thanos is someone who's more dangerous than than anyone we've seen before and the Russos and we just we knew we're gonna it was gonna be a heavy scene to start with but I think it brings you straight into the story and you're invested from the get-go stakes are so high stakes are so high yeah and it really especially I mean if you think back you know with a great line that Chris got to deliver he's adopted you know it was such a great comedic moment and in this moment he was no longer adopted he was a brother yeah he was his brother he and he dies saving his brother yeah advice yeah which I think we're sacrifice yeah so this is sort of I don't know there's a if I think back to my preparation for the first door film there's a kind of symmetry in that yeah well you mentioned Ken Branagh who I'm such a huge fan of on almost every level just as a person as a filmmaker as an actor I mean he's done so many extraordinary things and you know if I correct me if I'm wrong I remember him telling me once that you and Chris ended up in a pool fight a swimming pool haha the first time you met him never fought in the pool I just want to clarify that he said you guys wrestle we didn't wrestle no he never wrestled okay no we it was a I remember it very clearly and Chris does too we were cast in the film and we Chris and myself and Natalie Portman went down to to see Ken for the weekend in in England at his house in London and while Ken and Natalie were having an initial conversation about Jane Foster what she did for a living who she was Ken said to me and Chris you guys to go and train together and so we were dispatched to lift logs and we went for a jog and did a little stretching and then after about 10 minutes we were like that's discussed with me and it was it was in that moment because I'd only just met him that morning that we kind of looked at each other and broke into a smile and felt like we'd won the lottery and away with these we were two kids being packed off on this great adventure and we've been friends ever since and it has been the most incredible ride and he's a hell of a guy I mean he was great yeah great I think he's terrific and infinity war as well he really is absolutely now and with Ken I know that you had you know you knew Ken before that you had worked on Wallander okay a great show yep it's a great show if you guys haven't seen it if you're looking for a TV series that maybe dip into it's a I saw it on Murder masterpiece masterpiece theater that's right yeah and you had a supporting role in that but you're you'd predate that you had done stage work with canvas actually it was the same time so as ten years ago exactly we did the first series of Wallander and we did a Chekov play call Devon off in the West End and I think it's doing the play quite often the nature of the live event is that you you really get to sort of know someone very well because it's the repetition and it's trying to make it better every night and he is motivated so purely by a passion for storytelling and he's trying to refine the writing and the action into the its most truthful representation for the audience and I loved working on that with him and he was amazing I mean with what he did for me and Chris in casting us was was an incredible incredible gift an incredible act of generosity and I owe him a great debt of gratitude when we low-key I'm curious like you put yourself into a character and a little bit of character gets into you yes sense when you when you have a sustained career with him I mean you know you've been with Loki for a while now yeah yeah a decade I don't think you're a trickster god if you are that's kind of cool but but what what have you seen from this performance nick has stayed with you and what do you see in Loki that you can kind of recognize I think what I've loved about it is the and it has felt like a gift is because he is such a fascinating antagonist you know anyone will tell you any actor who's played a villain or an antagonist will tell you they are there fascinating because the challenge is to present the exterior and the interior and so the exterior because you're the villain it means there's something in you that's trying to it is motivated by spy things we all feel but try to hide and suppress like jealousy or pain or isolation or loneliness these things can convert themselves into ego mania or narcissism all of which Loki is a is a it can it's a part of him but then the Challenger if the exterior is that he's either he's trying to pit the Avengers against each other or he's trying to work some kind of scheme if you can allow the audience to see the vulnerability behind all of that so that you have this internal external relationship and the lot of the final thing I would say is that I had to remind myself every day he's the god of mischief and it's my professional obligation to have a great time yeah so and so there's something of hit of I recognize a part of a very childlike part of myself in that in like just trying to have as much fun as possible because he is and I also don't think he's truly evil think that there but he mean he never was even in the in the Norse mythology and in the pantheon he Loki's a very important fascinating character the trickster he's something he's somebody if the gods needed at particular times you know though I mean lots of people are familiar with the north stories but he's someone who was he represents chaos in opposition to order and sometimes what you need is a bit of chaos and and God won't be the same without as God wouldn't be the same without him yes fascinating yeah and what are the great things for any actor I in talking to actors directors are so key and you talked a little bit about Kenneth you've worked with some other extraordinary actor Steven Spielberg for instance I remember talking about warhorse and you know Woody Allen and so many great directors maybe if you could talk about one or two that you felt they were kind of a North Star for you or that they they've really sort of helped you along your way as an actor who are the ones that kind of stand out Steven Spielberg I mean now that was I still remember that summer making warhorse was such an addictive with Benedict yeah Benedict's and I learning how to fall off forces together Steven I see I mean he needs no introduction from me and being alongside his filmmaking mind was one of the great pleasures and privileges of my life he's so detailed and I think the thing that I suppose unites him and guillermo del toro or kenneth branagh or susanna beer is they have this passion for the detail and they understand that the magic of filmmaking is in the detail whether it's about something inside the frame something inside the character something in the story they're all prepared enough to lead but also flexible enough to know that if something isn't right if the piece of the set isn't right if shot isn't right if a line doesn't feel truthful they will be flexible enough and agile enough and intelligent enough to change their minds and chase it and so I've learnt a lot from that that thing of being prepared but also being flexible and agile to be like does this feel true and yeah just to be around their passion is infectious I think Steven like he won't even start a film until the script is completely locked and that's yeah different than a lot of Hollywood's approach these days a lot of yeah I mean movies I mean one of the men in black movies they started didn't know how the movie was gonna end and they yeah but like Stephen and and that preparation allows him to be nimble in the moment right yeah I also think Stephen he just is a master yeah and I don't use that word lightly and so generous so generous but I think you see his generosity in his work you can't watch a Spielberg film and not feel his innate to warmth coming from the story no he's a very very warm-hearted person so and is there another director you would point to I know ragnarok was an amazing experience yeah Ragnarok was great I mean it's just being next to Tiger ytt for a day's character he's great and so free and so fun and he and he you know in a way he just put a lot of new bells and whistles on everything and brought his own particular sense of humor to it and made it so fun and and really embraced all the Jack Kirby stuff and wanted to make it colorful and light-hearted and and and silly in a way by scoring film I mean I remember reading the scene when Loki turns up in there whatever it is the the sanctorum in dr. strangers house you know I've been falling for 30 minutes just a very kind of fake that's a very sort of Tiger read on a situation work with some great directors at work for Jim Jarmusch who I think is an amazing town a true artist a true singular tale yeah and I don't look different than anybody else's and also Susanna bier who directed the night manager unbelievable very very honest and intelligent Danish director and she you know she was interesting because we she took something John le carré's book is is about Englishness it's about something very complex at the heart of English identity and her perspective as a Dane in a way was and also she's just so clever was that she was able to sort of see things in a different way and challenge asked to do different things in a different way but really it's just this thing of agility and I mean agility sort of break that down for you agility on the day you're on the set yeah you know you're losing the light the Sun is going down you've only got three hours to get the scene and the court that the quality of calmness to see what the truth is to say this is what the scene needs and maybe it means changing everything and getting rid of a so for bringing a new one in or moving a scene from a bedroom to a kitchen because it feels more honest or saying actually the lines don't work anymore we should try and find something that's more true and that's what she brought to it which i think is why if if it felt this way why the night manager felt like you had this edge-of-your-seat quality to it so clarity of vision yeah real confidence with the answer you know one of the my favorite scenes in any more of a movie is when the when Hulk basically smashes you I was wondering that must have hurt I mean I didn't do all of it no I still remember it very fondly because it was it was always in the script and throughout the make the course of the first Avengers Loki is given so much status and so much power and in that one split second he loses all of it and when I first saw a kind of animatic composite of it and I think I've told the story before but but Mark Ruffalo's son Keane was on the set and it made him laugh so much I thought this is gonna work and then when it came to the day at she was just me jumping into trenches in the set which felt insane but it but it worked well it has such a almost like a Looney Toons yeah the velocity and exact impact it has yeah I mean he deserves it at that point yeah yeah well you wear it well yeah wear it because he's very haughty you don't call the Hulk a dull creature and get away unscathed if if Steven Spielberg is the the epitome of preparation and structure and then finding magic in it is Robert Downey jr. the epitome of a genie in the bottle or is he have some of the same thing I mean there seems to be so much not ad-lib but there's so much openness to finding new things but is that preparation as well well I think Robert come is very very prepared but he's also so intensely alive and and so that vitality on the set is what you see in what he does is Tony Stark and you know he again it's this thing of agility he's he's almost like a dancer in that he's he's keeping he's always light and a lot of the funny you know the funny jokes and the one-liners he comes up with but it's more that thing of he understands that the thing that's interesting on camera is life as opposed to preparation as opposed to like the hard work you've done that he knows what people enjoy seeing and what is interesting to watch is something happening before your eyes as it's happening and so in so the reason he's so spontaneous I think is he understands but that's the magic and it is a as an actor it's a you need a mixture of freedom and discipline to be able to do that and you know I think Robert has got actually he has got if I can say this got better and better and better as Tony Stark he was amazing the first time but he's he is the elder statesman of this MCU and and none of us would be here without him and the performance has got incredibly emotional I think and and vulnerable and you start to see that he feels sometimes overwhelmed by the things you have to take on and you really read that that's the secret sauce in Marvel films in general I think is the human heart that's beating you know because the CG you know you look at spectacle films I mean I love the matrix I love the Star Wars films I love the Star Trek films but they things can feel flat after a while or you know you can be overwhelmed by all the things they're happy on the screen but in the Marvel films like it comes down to most of these characters are driven by alienation or affliction you know they you know they didn't choose to be heroes or if they are hero they don't wear it well or you know I mean they're they're a guy that's everybody he knows has died thirty years earlier or you know a kid that got bit by a bug or a guy of the ultimate rageaholic you know it's not they're not necessarily golden ideals and that really that I think that's the reason everybody's here I think that is because we call we care about that well I think that comes from Kevin Feige I think he under innately understands that what is the most compelling this the center of these storms is human drama and sometimes it's comedy but it's all comes from the humanity of the people you're watching and there so I mean that some of the guys I've worked with and the way they've actually pushed the form of visual effects is dazzling you work with some people you know time and time again like we I worked with them some visual effects artists on Ragnarok who I'd worked with on the first or film and they had taken their own work on by so many leaps and bounds because they've been allowed to because there were there was the material to work on but Kevin always insists that they can't do anything unless they're there's humanity at the center of the frame and I think that's why Marvel's kind of got this secret ingredient in a ways that they understand the humanity is the thing that connects all of us that's why you're all here I think it's only why I'm here it's kind of a silly question maybe but if if Loki had a Walkman or a you know a playlist what kind of music do you think Loki would be well yeah I mean when or when you were getting into performance is there is there a soundtrack in your head it's a silly question I'm not sure if there's an answer no I mean I've listened to different different things over the years it honestly depends on what I'm listening to I'm not that disciplined about Loki's music but what was that we have a Shakira on the left yeah no I I mean I just it's something with a tempo something that's something upbeat something light could have been that - we have a Will Smith from the center there was a lot of I remember at San Diego comic-con a couple of years ago there was a lot of Daft Punk I feel like that's up history Wow yeah Roger that and then what was the going way back if you recall the first day on the set of the first film do you remember what the first do I do a little bit about that the first day my first day ever as Loki was with Chris as Thor and we were on Jotunheim in in in that film and we were playing the scene with confi or as laughs II the confrontation with la fée where laughs II is dismissive of Thor's arrogance and hubris and Loki gets a sense that this is a fight they might not win and maybe they shouldn't be here and he's trying to encourage his brother to think before he acts but they also feel very together very connected that they are two halves of the same whole and yet day one and it was it's exciting to look back on it naturally because the first shot of the two of Chris and the first shot of me was the same shot it was a two shot from Khan's perspective as we were looking up at at the first you know he's the king of the frost giants and this is obviously before Loki discovers the truth of his lineage but he still has a some sense that something isn't quite right yeah it was we've done a lot of prep as well we've done so much work Chris and I were working for about nine months with Ken on what this relationship was we worked with Antony Hopkins on the relationship with father with Rene Russo on their relationship with free gun and costume fittings and try you know the excitement of trying to bring to life the the panel's in these costumes and actually wearing the costume for the first time and you know him with his wig on and maybe with my black hair yeah so it was it's fun to look back on long time ago now and you know is there I the job is to feel comfortable and authentic in those moments but it's tough to wear horns isn't it the horns have their own story yeah initially initially I just the the helmet was so tight I couldn't hear anything so I'd be in a scene with people and be like I'm sorry what was that which doesn't take the sting out of Loki's hubris I think but no honestly it was exciting and exciting to step into these big costumes and and also Ken understood as an actor that it can be almost alienating and isolating to be standing in a honor a mark surrounded by green screen with nothing to feed your imagination so he tried to build as many of the sets practically as he could he built the palace in Asgard he built the ice planet and it was very very he had a loud speaker and he would always be calling things out to get a live reaction from us because also he understands what he what you want is a lie of response do you think with your stage background I mean on stage you're perceiving things that other people can't perceive do you think that was a natural asset for you once you got into the sort of CG acting maybe I mean acting as a boxer yeah acting is kind of like it is as I've said before an act of imagination and you have to risk you have to sort of when a director cause action you have to imagine you are somewhere else and that's a muscle you flex wherever you are as an actor whether you're making a short film or whether you're on stage or whether you're doing a CG thing and ladies and gentlemen the friendly neighborhood spider-man hey it's the new th Tom Hollands [Applause] all you have now is what's known as th squared I thought I'd come and come and join me thanks buddy you're just glad Anthony Mackey's not here he got so much grief last night no no it was all fun and games it got a little bit hairy at one point but it was all fun and games so it's all good Macky and I are still friends he's a great guy he's a great guy he's just seen it they were they were given a hard time but lovingly though this is a thing that's been this goes way back right way back I don't know where it came from and it was funny because the first time I ever saw any Macky and Sebastian hate towards me I thought it was real cuz I just saw like a tweet like Shannon has an Iraqi Roach Tom Holland I was like but it's a joke we're all friends really so don't worry about it oh he's a prince he's a good guy he's a great guy super talented so how was your day - my day was great might they meeting you guys was lovely and yeah it's been really fun it's been a really great con yeah yeah that's fantastic and we were talking a little earlier about the esprit de corps of the Marvel Universe and the cast and and I've been lucky enough to be on four sets of Marvel sets and it's real like that it's not it's not something that people just say for the press release I mean there seems to be a real together it's like I guess that speaks again to to Kevin Feige and and the directors and stuff is that true do you feel that way well the spider-man stuff isn't real yeah I can't actually swing from building to building I'd love to be able to do that well I've seen you thought it was real I've seen you backflips I mean there's obviously there's elements of it that are real and some of the stuff that our stunt doubles do is incredible I don't know if you guys remember from spider-man homecoming there's a scene where spider-man is thrown into a school bus and then the Shocker punches it and it flips now my stunt double Dave who we call crash dummy Dave he was just so tough literally stood inside of a school bus no pads are nothing and they just flipped it I think it's about I think it was seven times it's span on this special rig and he just ping balled around and then he came out and were like you okay he's gonna do it again your funeral dude go ahead though I was saying that friendships are real not the nothing special ships are real yes free decor right yeah that's super real super everyone's great friends you know I mean these guys have been there since the beginning so there's this sort of foundation this this family that was sort of started was built and then the family tree is just growing and growing and growing so I'm like the grandchild yeah and you're like the grandfather that's nice I'll take it Tom what do you think is you know villains are so key if you look at the history of film we look at Darth Vader we look at Terminator all the villains are who we remember in movies the Joker what do you think is so great about Loki why is it that Loki's been able to have pretty much you know I was saying this to Tom the other day we were on the same flight out here I don't think there is a villain out there that is as beloved as Loki I mean Darth Vader wouldn't give as good an interview would it he's that phone so boring fun at all that asthma thing yeah it's distracting take away the mic but I think Loki you know has had such a of all the characters maybe one of the most interesting arcs because his arc changes so quickly you know you never know even I didn't know well I know I don't know a lot I didn't know either but no it's an amazing character that's evolved so much through the years and I mean you're seen in Avengers man that really that really got me a big time there's a sad one he didn't want to go he did good at least he went for the head though that's right yeah you did that's right yeah you killed Coulson to Agent Coulson kinda Wow not very well he's kind of still around I thought you killed I feel like you do get off quite light for the whole New York thing you do get off quite light for that I did forget about that whole I'm gonna watch Avengers 1 again there are Infinity stones in Avengers 1 yeah but we didn't know about that so later I did what the first time we see fan OHS put it this way if Fred if Loki hadn't come down to earth in Avengers 1 there would have been no reason for the Avengers to assemble and if you go back to the comic books Avengers number 1 1962 Loki is he he tricks the Hulk into attacking a train and the other heroes gathered to capture the whole Loki's the catalyst that creates the Avengers so when you are kind of talking about like attacking New York dropping a nuke like we could have done without that I just get as bad a question start the first ever time we see fan OHS it was crazy most credit scene is that Josh yes it is away from the beginning they knew that he was yeah he must have been chomping at the bit by the time they got to filming it I know he's sitting there waiting in the waiting casted in the film 10 years later you're like what am I gonna shoot this thing no wonder he was so tough to beat yeah I mean he's been he's been training there was a fascinating question I guess an obvious question I didn't think of when Josh was on co bear he says you know all I'm doing is calling the herd I'm thinning there there's all these resources the universe is too full so I just cut the population in half I'm a good guy and Colbert says well you know you could have just doubled the resources Oh what is so true I didn't even think of that so now of paleis obviously Thanos didn't either you needed some advice you could have told him you know him come on Loki the nothing to listen to me after Avengers 1 yeah yeah I tried you lost credibility with him I kind of did yeah yeah yeah it was great did he work with Josh you did I did Josh had one of the hardest days I've ever seen an act to have ever it was the scene where mantis is on his shoulders I'm pulling the gauntlet with Iron Man style orders punching him in the face Drax is holding on to his leg and nebula is thanking Chris and our lords just yakking away Shang in his face and he's delivering this like monologue which is super difficult when he was doing it in a raspy voice to try and like do the whole Mantis mind thing and he has to wear this like it's like how would you describe it it's like a like an American football pad thing I don't know what you call those but it's huge a shoulder pad a shoulder pad the this is the shoulder this shoulder yeah he's wearing his big shoulder pads and then he wears a helmet with a tennis ball and a picture of Thanos and then he has all of us like hanging off of him pulling and pushing and he's delivering this monologue and we did it I think for two days like comic-con yeah and it's amazing I mean I would have I would have been like guys is lunchtime now let's let's pick this up after lunch but he went all the way through and was amazing so when was the your death scene was that the last thing that you filmed and for the infinity yes yeah I just make I didn't know the order if yes no no so we have to do something film day after day in April last year yeah and was that must have been an emotional day for you it was it was three days and it was actually interesting you know I haven't told the story evany more is played by an Irish actor called Tom Vaughan Lawler who was my mentor at drama school and Rada yeah and and it was I'd never worked with him and there we were on the set and I was like that's a guy and he was like he's like oh you've been doing this for much longer than I have I've also thought he was great in the film and there was a really nice moment of working with him again and Josh Brolin was having the time of his life sincerely seems like there's a large oil yeah and he was really enjoying and he was enjoying the freedom he loved working with the visual effects Department and the the motion capture you know he because he did lots of tests before he shot and I was so I was feeding off his enthusiasm and he and the Roosters were incredibly generous because they knew they'd well this was the opening of their film and they also knew the emotional weight of it and both of them were like oh this is this is a big scene and did feel once we started it went very quickly and it felt kind of it was a big day but at the moment the moment itself was like was really emotional like the Roosters came up and they'll like respect what they've done I mean I remember seeing the Winter Soldier unbelievable yeah I was shooting crimson peak in Toronto and I went to see and I went to see winter sort on its opening weekend having obviously been in these movies and I thought wow they've taken they taking it on and developed it and expanded the universe and there's more characters I care about yeah they are great those to the highest average box office of any director in the history it's hard not to you know considering the movies they made you know one of the great luxuries that the key cast members have in any Marvel film is an incredible supporting cast you.your retching some of the people I mean if you go back to Iron Man you know people forget Jeff Bridges was in that and there's there's a great I don't yeah fantastic but you know you don't hear about that you don't think necessarily think about that I mean Anthony Hopkins you mentioned you know Rene Russo and or you know skarsgård I mean so many people yeah you know the same with spider-man Michael Keaton Michael Keaton right at the top of the list could you guys talk a little bit about that and for you with Anthony Hopkins so yeah tell us a little bit about Tony I've interviewed him he goes call me Tony I'm like I don't think I don't think I could do that I think I could sir Tony yeah baby sir Anthony sir but well I mean growing up he was he was one of my acting heroes but yeah but particularly the remains of the day it was a big I really loved that film growing up and he is a ok watch this watch this I was just waving at someone point to any part of the room watch this that's cool did anyone watch England this morning it's coming home it's coming home it's coming home we were up we were up this morning watching it together we were watching in our pajamas watching England together like this on an iPad yep that's how it went yes no no rains of the day that has one of the greatest scenes I've ever seen act to do when Emma Thompson finds his book yeah it's stunning interior yeah without saying a word yeah I mean it's one of the most compelling things I've ever seen it's it's what he manages to convey the depth of is it mr. Stephens of of that man's interior life without demonstrating or explaining anything and he's one of the great actors alive and still working today we are working on that film from Kevin Feige Ken Branagh Chris Hemsworth Natalie and myself we felt lucky to be in his company and one of the great pleasures was watching he'd never worked with Ken cannon ever work with him they were both you know standing in great admiration of each other and watching them talk about their careers and and and hearing Tony's respect for Ken and all the things that he's done and then you know I think actually mentioned stellan skarsgård I think you know he brought so much to that first film and the second one such a effortless but some credibility just yeah in small moments you know because a lot of times when you have special effects films you don't get compelling supporting cast performances always made a trademark out of it without and that doesn't get circled that often I don't think yeah it's down to two Randy Hillier and Seraphin that they're brilliant casting directors and they're as much a part of the achievement of all of this as anyone else yeah Tom I know you're a film fan as much as I am you and ya know the history of it especially recent decades when when you're hanging with Keaton did you ever say so Gotham City that was that oh absolutely yeah I mean that was that's yeah there's a great scene it's not in the movie it's cut short where I carry the vulture out of the flames where he nearly died so I rescue him and I lay him down on the on the sand and he says I think the line was why did you save me and I'm like because I'm spider-man and then he goes yeah but I'm Batman that's cool I will never forget that I'll never forget that and amazing to work with terrifying that scene we shot in the car was so stressful you look scared was so unbelievably stressful and we shot it for a whole day and as soon as you'd call cut he was like the nicest guy ever and you'd be talking about whatever but then you'd call action and then he would sort of become this villain and I'd be like okay cut you're like I want to go but ya know it was amazing to work with him but one of my favorites from spider-man homecoming is Marissa Tomei I mean for sure she is an angel and so talented and you know the challenge for us was part of my homecoming was okay this is the second reboot this is the fifth movie six movie fifty-six movie let's make it let's make it unique let's make it different how do we do that and Marissa bought such an interesting new idea to this character we know and love so well and it absolutely works such a place she really seemed the ball in Queens and and she really sort of made her markers aren't may in the film you know and and and she's a very memorable character and and I love Marissa as well she's so great she's so sweet she's got a lot of good things going on yeah sorry what's interesting about this as well is um the producer of spider-man is a man called Eric Carroll who's a very fine gentleman and a great producer but he started on Thor with Ken Branagh and and he was somebody who can hired to I think he's told the story himself but he was hired to research the the cinematography of space travel cuz you know ken was trying to think of what would the Bifrost traveled what would but the poor traveling through the Bifrost looked like what would how would you want to guide audiences through the universe through the galaxies through the cosmos all these stars planets and solar systems and Eric put together a kind of trailer or a real for it and I love that now he started there and now he's producing spider-man that's how much of a family this is yeah and you think about you would think that these would be two I mean four characters that exist in the same you know stories in the same films they could hardly be more removed I mean you know yeah you know the Prince of Asgard you know and a kid from Queens you know got bit by a bug yeah you know I know it's an arachnid that an insect I know okay they still can bug you but it's it's it's amazing how you know you use the word supple or nimble before but how supple the creative teams can be that they can exist in things that are the most cosmic I mean taking us to the Rainbow Bridge and then you know taking us to the alleys of Queens I guess that's why Kevin Feige is a genius so you know I mean it would have been very easy to just sort of keep churning out the same type of movie time and time again but if you look at Thor Captain America and Iron Man 3 very different movies if you look at the last five years of movies you've got guardians of the galaxy ant-man and Doctor Strange now me personally I plant them [Applause] but I mean if you think about those three titles you go really ant-man and then you watch it and you're completely blown away blown away by this incredible creation that kevin has sort of done and it's because he's not afraid to take risks you know he's not afraid to push the boundaries of where Marvel can take their characters of the types of characters they can bring to the screen and that's why Black Panther was so incredible because it's about goddamn time you know it yeah absolutely yeah you know my favorite things about ant-man is that he came before spider-man in the comics did you yeah it's crazy sweet fruit Rd grew I love who came first yeah love Groot yeah but I just the only reason I came up here I didn't mean to stay here I've just heard good dude I was meant I'm doing around we're doing this giveaway right of an amazing drawing done by umberto Ramos that's beautiful I've signed it he signed it oh there it is and it's me dying someone will have an ace comic-con sticker under their seat oh look under seat ace comic-con sticker wow it's like an opposite standing ovation [Laughter] Neal everyone is kneeling chewing gum doesn't count thank you I got it oh he has it come on up whoa I'll never get used to being on stage at this it's big great you know sometimes when I'm working and I get really tired I have anxiety dreams that I wake up in this scenario I'm like hi hello sir thank you very much congratulations hey come this way he sure is friendly friendly neighborhood spider-man neighborhood spider-man there you go nice to meet you thank you very much guy in a boba fett shirt awesome I guess top don't stick around so girl come what that go you don't want to go I don't want to go let me ask you this walking around comic-con one of my favorite things is looking at all the toys and the action figures you know when I was a kid I love Star Wars toys that for me that was I love the movies but I loved the toys more the movies I made in my head is why I became a Star Wars fan for life and the Marvel toys were good now they're amazing I'm wondering how you feel about your action figures because I would imagine you know you if I had an action figure me I'd be looking at me like I don't know about that what have you had something that you liked and some that you don't like it's weird for sure you have them all you had that thing where you have to approve your face over it Mattel or you get sent like a gray image next to the scale thing and then they and then they you have to approve it and the first few that they made of me were horrendous so I thought we work with them when we made it better but it's weird because I have one in my living room and I've seen that watching TV the other day and sort of like felt like it was watching me as I'm so weird so I've now sort of turned it away from their faces the wall yeah how do you do do you have any action figures yourself if that's not too personal to ask no I think I have a there not so much next to next to the TV I have loads you don't dust they get web so it makes it even better actually the joy of it has been about about sort of seeing by giving them away yeah that's always fun I went to a hospital in London recently I'm sure you've done this town but they've screened infinity war for the children who were in hospital who hadn't been able to see it and at the end I handed out all these toys and they loved it but there's the funniest QA the Ferranti a 30-minute Q&A which consisted of questions solely about facial hair like why if you play Loki why do you have a beard why does Captain America have a beard now it's honestly was because there was a poster while I was doing it and and all the questions are about why the Avengers are bearded so you don't have a beard in the movie they're talking about why they don't fade in real life yes yes yeah they want to know why you didn't match your self yeah yeah but I always say he's a shapeshifter so it's fine actly yeah that's that's pretty good it's pretty good the comedic timing with you and Chris we know we talked a little bit about some of the line I mean I love the I'm he's adopted line and and you and Downey you know reindeer games that's one of the greatest lies so good you know I don't know if that was an ad-lib or if that was in the script the reindeer games I think it was an ad lib I think a lot of it a lot of it was in the script but you know Chris is a great comedian yeah and I don't think that people perceive it immediately but he certainly made a trademark out of it because he was I mean he's always made me laugh yeah honey he's always been funny looks like he does and he's funny it's not but I think I people forget the biggest laugh for me in the first film is he walks into a pet store and says I need a horse yeah and he's the guy in the pet store says you've only got rabbits and and birds and cats and he says I mean but give me one of those large enough to ride or when he throws the coffee mug down and demands another you know Chris has got funny bones and yeah and he's just very playful the energy on sets very playful so we've always had a good time doing it and Tom you made in the heart of the sea basically a great book about the true story that inspired Moby Dick and inspired Herman Melville to write Moby Dick and that must have been an arduous shoot on the water and yeah that one wasn't as fun because we were all on this crazy diet laughter yeah and it was the beginning of the film we were all sort of requested to bulk up which we all really enjoyed and then and there was this really funny moment we had a trainer a great guy called David Kingsbury he was training 21 of us for this film and a few of the guys who are in the film were real sailors that they'd employed to sort of help us look like real sailors and there's this one lovely guy Italian guy called Luca who was a shorter bloke wasn't particularly in great shape and we were training everyday training training training and Luca goes the Train he's like why am I doing this and the Train is like because I want you to look like a real sailor you know I want you to looked really ripped and he was like I'm a sailor just a lovely guy super lovely guy and then Ron Howard director that must be great for you as well did anyone see solo solo was hands-down my favorite Star Wars movie III thought it was just so unique so different from any of the other previous movies and and I was just talking to Paul about it before before I came out and it was such a cool way to take that franchise you know well and one of the great things that you can see one of the issues that anything in the Star Wars universe has is if it varies off the tradition it doesn't live up to the trician or even echo it people get very kind of tense yeah to say the least but again with Marvel you know the your you know there's been twice I mean there's been more Marvel movies than there are stars movies at this point and they're defined by how different they are yeah which gives them a lot of room because if you do the cookie cutter thing after a while it can kind of you know if you're outside that cookie cutter you you're on the oven floor yeah you know that doesn't go so well yeah so for you you know one of the others Kong Skull Island what was that experience we have talked about that I yeah it was the most extraordinary thing about that film was going to all the places we went was shooting in Vietnam shooting in Australia shooting in Hawaii I'll never forget being being taken up in a helicopter with no doors and flying out over the Pacific and back over kahlúa valley where they shot the first Jurassic Park and it was just a I thought this is a beats working for a living yeah it was a GUI was a great day yeah how did you do the the sword fighting sequence where you're like slicing at those is there anything there or was that because sometime there was nothing there yeah because I feel like an idiot when I do stuff like that yeah I think I learned the choreography you're like on the side we shot it on the Monday so cool yeah that's cool yeah really really cool you know what guys I have to tell you this is this has been such an extraordinary weekend and Seattle's been such a great great town to visit [Applause]
