DO YOU CALL IT A COSTUME?

>> I SHOULD THINK SO.

>> Jimmy: THE FIRST TIME WHAT

HAPPENED WHEN YOU PUT IT ON?

>> THE FIRST TIME WAS WITH -- IN

A COSTUME FITTING, AND WE'D DONE

A LOT OF THE SCRIPT, AND I'M

THRILLED WITH HOW THE CHARACTER

WORKED OUT, AND HIS PLACE IN THE

UNIVERSE AND THE STORY BEATS.

I PUT THE IDEA I WAS PLAYING A

SUPER HERO ON THE BACK BURNER,

AND IN THE FITTING I LOOKED IN

THE MIRROR, AND I STARTED TO

SMILE LIKE A GIDDY CHILD, AND

THE COSTUME DESIGNER WAS LIKE

GOING YEP, SEEN THAT LOOK

BEFORE.

YOU'RE HAVING A SUPERHERO

MOMENT, AREN'T YOU?

IT'S JUST WONDERFUL.

>> Jimmy: DID ALEX DESIGN OTHER

COSTUMES?

>> SHE WORKED ON THOR, AND I

THOUGH SHE'S DONE QUITE A FEW OF

THE FILMS.

THAT SUITED ME.

IT MEANT LITERALLY THAT SHE WAS

USED TO EVERY KIND OF COMPLAINT

ABOUT HARNESSES RIPPING DELICATE

PARTS OF YOUR BODY TO PIECES.

>> Jimmy: BECAUSE YOU'RE FLYING?

>> THAT CLIP, THAT WAS THE FIRST

TIME I'D SEEN THAT.

THAT WAS SEEN.

BEING KICKED AND FLYING

BACKWARDS, AND THAT WAS A BIT OF

WIRE RIGGING.

>> Jimmy: IT RUINS IT A BIT WHEN

YOU CALL THE BAD GUY MATT.

>> HIS NAME IS MAD WITH AN S.

>> Jimmy: SORRY.

NOW IT'S BETTER.

>> YEAH.

>> Jimmy: DID YOU EVER GO

ANYWHERE PUBLICLY IN THE

COSTUME?

>> WELL, YEAH, I DID.

IT WAS SLIGHTLY FORCED BY

CIRCUMSTANCE.

I'M NOT ONE FOR HALLOWEEN --

IT'S MY DAY JOB TO GET DRESSED

UP IN FUNNY COSTUMES, BUT I --

WE WERE FILMING ON FIFTH AVENUE

IN NEW YORK WHICH WAS ANOTHER

PINCH YOURSELF MOMENT.

RIGHT IN THE SHADOW OF THE

EMPIRE STATE BUILDING.

SOME OF THE GREAT COMICS

ORIGINATED THERE, AND IN THIS

INCREDIBLE COSTUME, THIS RED

CLOAK AND BLUE COSTUME, THE RED

AND BLUE BEING SIGNIFICANT.

I THOUGHT THIS IS ANOTHER

MOMENT, AND I THOUGHT, WOW,

THERE ARE A LOT OF CREWS GETTING

IN THE WAY OF THE SHOT.

AND I REALIZED THEY WERE

PAPARA

PAPARAZZI.

THERE WAS A SWARM OF THEM.

THERE WAS NOWHERE TO ESCAPE.

THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN DO

WITHOUT KNOWING IT'S GOING TO BE

TURNED INTO SOMETHING.

SO I THOUGHT THAT'S GOING TO

ANNOY PEOPLE.

LET'S GET A COFFEE.

I WAS WITH MY WIFE AND A COUPLE

FRIENDS.

THERE WAS A GREAT CAFE AROUND

THE CORNER.

WE'LL GO THERE.

THEY, GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK.

SHE MEANT SHE WORKED THERE ON A

COMPUTER.

I SORT OF WALKED IN AND WENT,

EXPECTING A WELCOME, AND THESE

NEW YORKERS, THEY DID WHAT NEW

YORKERS DO.

THE CAFFEINATED JAWS WENT LIKE

THAT FOR ONLY ABOUT FIVE

MINUTES, AND THEN THEY WERE BACK

TO THEIR CONVERSATION.

I WAS NEWS FOR A MILLISECOND IN

THIS CAFE, AND I SAT DOWN AND

HAD AN ARNOLD PALMER.
