Hunnam and del Toro first worked together on Pacific Rim back 2013 and have reunited for the director's new gothic horror Crimson Peak, which has hit the big screen in the UK today.
Hunnam reveals that he is thrilled to get the opportunity to work with the filmmaker once again and says that there is a trust and a comfort between them when they are working.
Speaking to Collider about the actor/director dynamic, Hunnam said: "I don't know, it's always difficult to really sum up exactly why a relationship works, but we just like each other and respect each other and we have a lot of fun and make each other laugh and there's just an ease about our process.
"I think we just trust each other and feel really comfortable. And I do as I'm told [laughs], I try not to cause him any problems and just help as much as I can and be available. I don't know, it was a really beautiful thing and such a huge compliment to be invited back to the party, and he said that to me at the end of Pacific Rim.
"He just took me aside and said that the experience of working with me had been one of the fondest he'd had with working with an actor and that he hoped that we would continue this collaboration and that he was going to put me in all of his English films and that if I wanted to learn Spanish, I could be in the Spanish ones too. And it was just a lovely compliment, and true to his words is when he decided he was going to make this, he called me up and he said 'let's do it'."
Crimson Peak is the first time that we have seen Hunnam on the big screen since Pacific Rim and the movie sees him star alongside Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, and Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain.
2015 has been a busy year for the actor as he has also been filming Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur, in while he will take on the role of Arthur. The movie is set to be the next film for director Guy Ritchie and will hit the big screen next summer.
The Lost City of Z is another film project that is in the pipeline for Hunnam, which is based on the book by David Grann. The movie has been adapted for the big screen by director and writer James Gray and will see Hunnam star alongside Sienna Miller, Robert Pattinson, and Tom Holland.
