So Tom, are there new characters in this movie?
Are there new characters in this movie? Ahh la la la...
We heard that Captain Marvel is gonna make an appearance, is that true?
Right, now, we are joined by Dr. Strange
and Spider-Man themselves, the stars of the new Avengers
Infinity War movie. Give it up for
Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland!
Hello, guys! Good morning! How are you?
How are you doing? Good, yeah.
It's the Avengers!
Well, two of the thirty-odd. Yeah.
We're big fans, we're big fans. And yours.
So we've seen a few scenes, or a few clips, from the trailer and stuff.
It looks amazing! But for anybody who isn't up to speed,
what's going on in this movie?
Quite, I'm gonna give this one to you, yeah yeah.
Tom might tell you a bit too much abou this movie. Uh
Quite a lot, quite a lot.
Um, stuff happens pretty rapidly, everyone's caught
unguarded, is that the right phrase?
Off-guard, thank you, yeah.
Almost mentioned a brand of deodorant there, for some reason.
But, yeah. It was sort of very apparent from the kind of page-turning read of the script, which I
I was lucky enough--he wasn't allowed--but I was lucky enough to read.
Um but also, is
I couldn't believe what we were getting away with in script form and then to actually be doing it
and then to see a bit of it like we all did last night, it was just
It's extraordinary. I'm as pumped up to see this as
the next crazed fan, it's just, it's amazing.
It's really amazing. Now in terms of the cast, obviously,
it's an incredible cast but
What characters do you two fanboy over, if any?
And you can't say yourselves.
Spider-Man definitely. I know
You can't not fanboy
And also someone who got it so unbelievably right
and knocked it out of the park with Homecoming. It was a truly
brilliant performance and a great, great film.
and Iron Man is quite handy. So is Doctor Strange! Doctor Strange was absolutely brilliant, man!
Thank you, thank you.
And Chadwick. There's just a hell of a lot
of talent everywhere you look on that set.
And all the standalone films, origin stories,
as well as the other Avengers. It's kind of amazing.
It's one of the daunting things about the job.
Now I need to know, is there a superhero WhatsApp group,
and if so, what is the last message?
Is there? I don't know, is there? Don't
No, you haven't been left out.
I promise--well, if you have been then, I have been as well.
So I don't think there is.
I don't think there is. There should be right?
Why don't you start one? There was the Downey Dinner thing.
That was a pretty
interesting group of phone numbers, yeah.
That was crazy. The actual dinner you mean. The actual dinner.
But you know how the iPhone thing does that "maybe
Jeremy Renner or maybe so and so?" this is incredible.
That was very cool. We had a sort of Avengers assembly
um, dinner, to talk about where we were at and what we were doing
and this sort of thing of legacies.
Ten year journeys that these people have been on. They've had how many since then.
They've created this, you know, multi-billion dollar franchise
and taken huge risks along the way
all of which seems to have paid off. And we were just sat around the table as newbies
going, "Oh my gosh. We're actually part of this." It's incredible, you know.
Downey asked me before dinner, as the newest,
youngest Avenger. Would you say a few words? And I was like, no.
No no no no
Chris Pratt can do that!
Now I've gotta say, we all love it, a dress-up Saturday, or I do.
I haven't been Spider-Man yet, on mine. But um, I just wondered
When you'se actually in your costumes,
if you've ever been in your costumes, do you look at yourselves and go,
"We're real-life superheroes, this is next-level."
Cause I wouldn't take mine off.
No, believe me, you would.
If you've lived in Georgia, Atlanta, you maybe would.
You really would. It's hot.
Um, unless you're on Downey's set, and then it's nice and cool. That's, that's one of the
wonderful perks of working with him, there are many, but um
I don't--
Do you wanna tell your story first about your suit? Well, my suit--
I just love the fact that it's kind of like we're just at a kid's birthday party
It does feel like that. Like it just
feels like we've all been paid to show up for some kid's birthday party
and take pictures with people. It's like really high-end cosplay, isn't it? Yeah
And then we have to do a bit of acting, and then it's back to cosplay.
I just love, my favorite bit, is the bit between cut and action,
when all of you have these actors I've looked up to for years
just standing there in costumes
and chatting to each other
My favorite conversation on Avengers film sets
is
actors trying to one-up each other on whose suit's the most uncomfortable
like, well my suit does this, yeah, well I can't see in my suit
yeah well mine--it's so--I wanna do a little skit about that.
You could definitely do that, in your like career. Cause everyone has something.
It's true, it's true.
Everyone has a moan.
That's the collective name for actors, is a moan of actors. A moan, yeah.
Is it? But it's true, well I don't know, we'll start it. But
I'd believe you, though.
I would so believe you, I'd be like, wow.
It is, it is, Tom, it definitely is. It's in the dictionary. I was with a couple of moans the other day.
That doesn't make sense.
I agree, I had the first moment though, almost as soon as the costume fitting
I'm putting on this stuff. He's not particularly well-known,
although he is iconic, in the circle of people that do know him.
Comic book hero Strange. So,
But I did have that first moment, where the Cloak went on
and I had the whole kind of Master's outfit on
And I was like, "Holy crap, I'm doing one of these films,
I'm playing one of these characters."
And it was a really childish grin, I couldn't wipe off my face.
And Alex, the costume designer, who's seen it all,
I think from the first Thor film, I think she did, onwards,
uh, she just looked at me, and went, "Ah, you're having the superhero moment."
Completely busted, yeah. Exactly, exactly.
Now Tom, we've heard that uh, you know, we've heard you say
you're not the best at keeping plot secrets.
I'd say!
So um, how've you done on this film so far, bro?
I've actually done really well.
Give it up for Tom Holland, everybody!
Only because I don't really know anything about the film,
seriously. I genuinely would show up and I would
almost not even ask questions.
And I guess for me too, I'm a huge fan of these movies
Ever since Iron Man 1, I've been a huge fan, so the nice thing is
last night when we watched the clip,
I was watching it for the first time with the fans, you know.
So I had no idea really what was going on. I could enjoy it
as a fan. When I watched Spider-Man
I knew every in and out of that movie
so I lost the sort of magic of watching it for the first time.
Do you feel less self-conscious, as well, watching yourself? Cause you're just one of
one tiny little square in this huge mosaic? Do you know what I mean? It's like
Yeah, the pressure's not quite all on one individual person.
Apart from Downey, he always handles pressure like a king. He's brilliant.
So, Tom, are there new characters in this movie?
Are there new characters in this movie? Ahh la la la
We heard that Captain Marvel is going to make an appearance, is that true?
Whooo, eeeee!
Yeah, it's just basically just--
What Tom doesn't realize, is that in LA when we see it for the first time, there's going to be
a separate little red carpet for him, he's gonna be, he's gonna go off to
another cinema and watch Toy Story 3.
And he's gonna come out, like, "Man, the animation's great. They cut me out of the film, but it was great!" You know.
All right, so guys, before you go,
we've got a little game for you, but we need you on your feet.
Okay, up you go. Yeah, everybody up.
We know there are going to be a load of Avengers in this movie.
And the age-old debate of--I'm getting nervous. My spidey senses are tingling.
Is your armor up? This is all happening. Yeah.
Which is the best Avenger superhero?
Now we thought there is only one way to settle this. And that is by having
an Avenger Infinity Thumb War!
1, 2, 3, 4!
I knew you were gonna say that, I don't--
I am double his age.
I've got arthritis. Do you know what I mean?
I--we know who's gonna win this. Okay.
It's all about tactics. That's the thing.
You are a little bit ill, so maybe I might have a
I can't, how do you do--Whoa, whoa, whoa--Wait, wait
Let me see your war face, down in that camera first. I'm doing this one.
And Tom, your war face?
Okay, now we're good to go.
I'm learning, already. So you know the rules? Not really, okay.
You've got sixty seconds.
Come on Holland! 1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb war.
And then you go for it. Bow, bow. And then you basically just have to
fight. Bascially pin my thumb down, like that.
I love that you don't know how to play this game. It's been a while.
Cause I'm 41. All right here we go.
1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb war! Bow, bow.
Now go!
Go, go!
You've got way bigger hands than me!
Come on Tom, only three seconds left! Two!
We have a winner!
I cheated, I cheated, I went for the pinky.
Ah, I feel bad about it, I feel bad. Well done, Ben.
You will be Infinity Thumb War Champion! You're very gracious. Yeah.
Infinity War is out now! Go and see it, guys!
Give it up for the guys, everyone!
