00:00I mean, this is pretty cool. What are we, 17 years later and we're back at the premiere.
00:04I am absolutely delighted that I got called back in to play this part. I had
00:12accepted that I wasn't coming back. I had mourned that. And to get to play this role again was a
00:19complete surprise. And when Nate and Kiana called me a few years ago and said, we're bringing back
00:27Samuel Stearns, I did figurative somersaults. I mean, it's interesting. I went back and
00:36watched The Incredible Hulk last night and it's very interesting to watch because you can feel
00:41the infancy of the MCU starting to form and that ending moment with RDJ. So what has it been like
00:46for you sitting back and kind of seeing how big it's gotten and now getting to come back in the
00:51sandbox and see how different it is now? What Marvel has accomplished is unprecedented in
00:56cinema history. There are certainly very successful franchises, but not with interrelated
01:07movies and storylines reflected in the original IP that then materialize in this lattice of movies.
01:18The way that Kevin and his team have accomplished. I'm excited I was there at the beginning
01:26to get to come back and take part in that incredible accomplishment in this later stage.
01:35I couldn't be happier. I have no idea how old you are. So I'm not and I'm bad at math.
01:40Were you like on the set back and like you remember anything about? Not really. I think I was
01:46four or five at the time, something like that. And I don't know. Certainly my ability to perceive
01:54of his roles is a lot better now than it was when I was in kindergarten, you know.
02:02But I don't know. I just remember seeing him with the big head and that's about it.
02:10Do you have any memorabilia in the house?
02:13Marvel memorabilia or? Yeah, I don't think any much that he knows of.
02:20I have a lot of the old comics. Now he'll probably end up with them actually.
02:25If we were to do it since it's been a while, if we did a previously on Dr. Samuel Stearns,
02:29what has he been up to? He has not been sitting around feeling sorry for himself.
02:36He's been working on stuff. He's been working on stuff and it's revealed in this movie in a pretty
02:41profound and exciting way. I can't wait to see it. Thanks so much. You bet.
