Speaking to Empire the actor said: "The first time I came out on set and saw other people in costume, it was a night-time scene in the woods and involved myself, Chris Hemsworth and Downey Jr.

"I had just seen Thor maybe two nights before so I got on set and I saw Hemsworth in the cape and immediately thought, 'God, there's Thor, I'm looking at Thor,' and then I saw Downey Jr in the suit

"It's amazing. The kid in me would say, 'I didn't get to act with Robert Downey Jr, I got to act with Iron Man.

"I'd never had that before, where I had seen actors in a film that I was not a part of and then come to work to help them to extend that character's life. It's like being a little kid."
