“We’re really trying to capitalize and feed on and enjoy the fun element. We’re working hard to make this something special,” he added.

Playing computer games aside, the 38-year-old has been doing a lot of his own stunts for the film.

“I’ve learned how to roly poly, tumble turn,” he laughed.

“Stuff you can do in everyday life. Like cartwheels. No — just basic fight choreography stuff. I did some horse stuff today. So stuff like that.”
