Screen Rant develop to talk with Karl Urban at San Diego Comic Con 2017 , where we discussed what attracted him to put to work onThor : Ragnarok , what his character Skurge encounter throughout the motion picture , and whether or not we ’ll see him as Bones McCoy in anotherStar Trekfilm .
ThisThorfilm is a lot unlike from the previousThorfilms we ’ve seen . From the gloss pallet all the means to the music , what attract you to this film ?
Karl Urban : What attracted me to this film ? There ’s three thing . There ’s the handwriting , first of all , which I thought was really cool , Cate Blanchett , and this guy wire Taika Waititi .
talk of Taika Waititi , he ’s an amazing film theatre director . What did you learn on set from working with him ?
Karl Urban : Well , I guess there ’s nothing sanctified in a take when you work with Taika and I care that . He ’s not so treasured about it and he would throw you guidance or lines and it was a very fluid and collaborative process . It was a lot of fun . Unlike anything I ’d ever done before . So much playfulness . express joy so much . Yeah .
ThisThorfilm has a lot of clowning in it . Or it seems to have a lot of funniness in it and we catch to see part like Hulk and Loki back . Tell me about some of the relationships your character encounters in this motion-picture show with Loki and with Thor himself .
Karl Urban : in the main , in this film , I spend most of the sentence couple up with Cate Blanchett and her fibre Hela . And once she turns up , my grapheme Skurge really has a decision to make and it ’s about survival . It ’s either conjoin her or choke . And he ’s not the brightest tool in the shed , but he ’s bright enough to know what he has to do to survive , which is interesting because once you make a deal with the devil , then you got to pay the man . And that ’s the story of Skurge .
Real quick . Just switching gear for a irregular . Your character off-white McCoy is my favoriteStar Trekcharacter , but your looping is my deary . What are the hazard that we are going to get to see you reprize that part ? Because there is a good deal of talk .
Karl Urban : I ’ll tell you if Paramount greenlights a quaternary moving picture for us , I ’ll be there . I love working with those guys and you bonk the buff love those character . Yeah . It ’d be a blast .
