00:00 We'll see what happens but you know I think I don't know. I think Morbius Spider-Man,
00:08 that's a meeting that has to happen.
00:24 I do love horror. I love elevated horror, elevated genre in general and I think that's what makes
00:30 this different. It's a big Marvel movie but also has elements of horror. It's a little darker and
00:36 scary and that's you know kind of makes it stand out in the crowd I think. Yeah you know I think
00:41 what's really interesting about the genre is that as a form it allows you to be quite almost like
00:49 Shakespeare does. You can be quite big, you can make quite bold choices because the universe is
00:54 in itself quite big. So you can be quite bold with the brush strokes that you throw at the canvas as
01:01 it were for the less boring analogy. And you know there's a lot of interesting parts being written
01:11 by a lot of great writers and a lot of great directors are gravitating towards that sort of
01:16 universe. I love playing Michael Morbius. I love the fact that I got to interpret this character
01:22 for the first time. I don't look down on this movie. I don't look down on the character. I don't
01:27 apologize for it. I put it up alongside anything else I've ever done in my life and I think
01:34 audiences deserve from me my very best and I did my very best in this film as best as I could. I
01:40 worked as hard as I could to bring this character to life. It's very, it has a transformation that
01:45 was very challenging and for me creatively exciting. But no I mean I think that you know
01:52 the best of Marvel, the best at DC stand alongside the best of any other film. I think it's ridiculous
01:58 to suggest otherwise. I am, I don't, I don't just care. What's up doc? In almost all Spider-Verses
02:06 or you know the the verses that existed in the Marvel Universe if you read the comic books,
02:12 the whole idea of those kind of, of that kind of the Marvel string theory if you would call it,
02:18 it's very related to you know if you remember the the the alternative Seinfelds. You know it's it's
02:26 it's that you have like a world where you have the same characters and and and it's all of the
02:31 characters but they are slightly different you know. So in almost all the verses you have a
02:37 Spider-Man but they will be different you know in the in tone. That's not quite the way that the
02:44 kind of Marvel Cinematic Universe, Universe are approaching the the idea. Then you have the second
02:50 kind of a legend which is about the totem. Is that in all universes that there is a spider totem.
02:56 So which means that in all universes there have to be a Spider-Man. We'll see what happens but
03:01 you know I think I don't know. I think Morbius Spider-Man that that's a meeting that has to
03:09 happen. You know once you make a movie like this, once you make a Marvel movie, I think the second
03:15 you finish the movie it's no longer yours. It almost never feels yours. You have a responsibility
03:21 to sort of make this movie for the fans and I think that's what we what we did. So I felt it.
03:28 I was I was feeling the pain. I was like I just want them to see it. I want them to enjoy it and
03:34 I and I want them to be introduced to Michael Morbius or reintroduced to Michael Morbius and
03:39 and to meet Martine and to meet Milo and you know I'm very proud of the film that that Daniel made.
03:46 I have increased strength and speed in some form of that radar. What else can I do?
03:54 If you think of his power, one of his powers are echolocation and the first time we saw it
03:59 was in Ben Affleck's Daredevil. What we always have done is that the people that
04:07 have echolocation have been blind. So it's always been like this representation of a dark room and
04:12 then you have some kind of wave that goes through it and you can see things in the dark room. But
04:17 what happens if you see? If you are a seeing human being? Because then you have to kind of adapt that
04:22 kind of next you know your third eye if you would call it upon the you know visions of how you really
04:28 perceive the world you know. So then I thought psychedelia man or you know you you know that
04:36 kind of vibe. So then I thought okay it has to become psychedelia and then I started you know
04:41 I'm a big comic book lover so I always loved how they drew powers you know. So then you know I was
04:48 watching Pokemon and I was like I like that. I like those waves. I like those colors you know.
04:54 I like that kind of expression and then we put that together and and started working out this
05:01 idea of the psychedelic version of the third eye. Just accept who you are. The bad guy.
05:09 You know I love that kind of that that ambiguous place between good and evil that that that we
05:17 dance in and I think that's exciting. If there's some complexity there and I'd like to continue
05:22 down that path for sure. Well I think whoever you play with you sort of on some level you you you
05:27 agree with them because you're you're investing in their train of thought a bit you know what I mean.
05:33 And you can't really judge them too much I find you know because you've got to be on their side
05:39 bad or good. Particularly if they are bad you've got to convince everyone that they're truthfully
05:44 bad. But I suppose you know the interesting thing about it is is can you find something in there
05:49 that people latch on to whether they disagree with him or not and still like. You know I hear people
05:54 talk and talk about Marvel DC but I think look there are great actors, great directors, great
06:00 writers, great artists, great you know creative people on either side and you know a lot to enjoy
06:08 with with with either side. You know the rivalry is not such a bad thing a little competition goes
06:14 a long way and it really helps it pushes people to work harder to dig deeper and so I think that
06:21 audiences probably benefit from that. And I love Zack, I love the the Snyder verse and you know I
06:28 hope they keep on on putting material putting work out. Jared is obviously you know he's had
06:33 20 odd years at a really high level and thrown out some great performances in many many films
06:40 so it was fantastic. Yeah yeah he you know he's obviously he's got a very invested process and
06:46 it was really interesting to sort of be part of that. Yeah it was a pleasure to see him work.
