Empire have quite a delicious Independence Day: Resurgence cover on their current issue, and within the pages of the world’s most popular film magazine is an interview with one of the film’s stars, Jeff Goldblum.
Goldblum talked quite a bit about his part in Roland Emmerich’s disaster sci-fi, but he also spoke about his role in the forthcoming Thor: Ragnarok, which he’ll start shooting soon. In the film he plays The Grandmaster – here’s what he had to say about the role.
“He’s a hedonist, a pleasure-seeker, an enjoyer of life and tastes and smells. I thought, ‘I can do that, I’ll bet!’ I’m working on my part every day. I’m a sponge, researching.” He’s putting his unique Goldblum stamp on the role, too. “[Taika Waititi] is encouraging me to improvise and make it my own, and that’s what I’m trying to do. I hope he doesn’t throw me out on the first day!”
Goldblum also said that he would only be working on the film for for “three weeks or a month” while it shoots in Austrailia. Cate Blanchett and Tessa Thompson also star in the sequel, which also sees Chris Hemsworth return as the film’s title character.
Empire is on sale now.
