I think Hopper would have want to have nothing to do with that big blowhard Alexi and I
think Alexi would think that Jim Hopper's not worth his time
because he's such a big deal in his own mind, Alexi.
I remember I tried to do it once and it was like an ox like it was like trying to move a stone
wall it was like it's just so big that's why I couldn't yeah that
was really my big takeaway from that movie was just how large he was
I mean all of India was a highlight for me I’ve never been to a country like that it felt like you
know so often we travel in the western world and it feels you
know they’re different tenors of country but it really felt like a like being in on mars or something
Hello Mr Harbour, welcome to Pinkvilla.
Thank you.
Firstly, I already want to congratulate you for Black Widow because I feel like an as a MCU
fan myself it's going to be a major hit and your character in particular is going to be a fan
favourite but you know there's another character of yours that fans absolutely love and given
how they both end up in a Russian prison like how do you envision an encounter between
chief Hopper and Red Guardian how do you think that would go?
That's funny I don't think they would get along that's for sure I think I think Hopper would
have want to have nothing to do with that big blowhard Alexi and I think Alexi would think
that Jim Hopper's not worth his time because he’s such a big deal in his own mind, Alexi.
And you know also I want to go back to an Instagram post of yours to 2019 where you had
said that the greatest vacation of your life happened in India so my Indian heart was
extremely happy about your love letter to that country so what was the highlight of that trip for you?
I mean all of India was a highlight for me I’ve never been to a country like that it felt like
you know so often we travel in the western world and it feels you know they’re different
tenors of country but it really felt like like being in on mars or something people there are so
beautiful the hearts open the way you know they call it the land of light or something India
right and I found that it had such a unique character I’d never experienced anything like it I
absolutely adored India and it was I was up north on the river and just seeing that river flow
through was so stunning I mean it's the green waters up north flowing through and there were
huge statues of I think it was Vishnu you know it's just like
it's just a magical land I can't wait to go back.
Love, I love India, love it.
We'd love to have you back as well there are a lot of Stranger Things and Black Widow fans
who would be more than happy to welcome you. Going back to Black Widow before you
started shooting for that film you did a movie with Thor himself as well as the directors of
Avengers Endgame so did you actually get a pep talk from you know Anthony, Jo Russo and
Chris Hemsworth before you joined the MCU?
I didn't know at that point that I was even going to be joining the MCU I think we were
shooting that movie with you know Black Widow wasn't even anywhere on the horizon but
Chris is like you know he's a really lovely guy he is lovely as you see in interviews I
mean that just really is is who he is and that movie was, it was a lot of fun to make it was
actually surprisingly a lot of fun to make we were in Thailand for a lot of it but it’s crazy he's
so physically large like I’m a big guy I’m a very big guy and so I’m not used to people being
bigger than me but there was one point, there was one point in the thing where he like
supposed to lean against me and I just hit him and I’m supposed to move him this way real
quick and I remember I tried to do it once and it was like an ox like it was like trying to move
a stone wall it was like it's just so big that's why I couldn't yeah that was really my big
take away from that movie was just how large he was.
You know even although you weren't a part of Avengers End Game how do you think
Red Guardian would have fared in the last battle and do you think Nat’s you know character
ending where she sacrifices herself for the greater good do
you think as a character close to Nat do you think that was justified?
That's a good question I mean it's very interesting that Alexi what had nothing to do with the
Thanos stuff of a lot of interest to me I don't know how much how useful he would have
been in that battle to be honest at this point in his life I think he needs a lot more training
before he gets back to the battlefield but he you know it's interesting yeah he does really
reconnect with Nat in this movie in a deep way and I think that moving forward whatever
happens he would be very interested in what ends up happening to her and I know he's very
protective and he also can live in his own delusion about the world or about events and so I
don't know maybe he blames Clint for what happened on that mountain or maybe he's very I
doubt he has as generous take as the rest of the Avengers,
I mean it'd be interesting to see him react to that.
Okay anyways we can't wait to see you in Black Widow and
thank you so much for your time, thank you.
Thank you
