It happens at 2:15 into the video, Clive mentions “I worked with Benicio Del Toro on a scene in which he was meant to be quite angry. Sitting fifteen feet away I couldn’t hear a word he was saying.” Del Toro has recently signed a multiple movie deal with Marvel and the most prominent film he has been attached to is Guardians of the Galaxy. Now it appears as though we have the first film he’ll be in as well.
