In the same interview, he reflected on his experience working in the 2022 movie, sharing his disappointment when his fighting scenesĀ were chopped offĀ from the movie. He had filmed sequences with Jared Leto and Matt Smith, respectivelyĀ butĀ they were nowhere to be seen in the project.Ā 

Avid fans must have watched the trailerĀ whichĀ featuredĀ him with a metal arm, whichĀ was itself a hefty task to put on, with clips not used in the final cut. Ā

He shared,Ā 

“IĀ definitelyĀ did a lot of scenes thatĀ wasĀ choppedĀ out of the movie.Ā I had a full-onĀ fight,Ā andĀ brawl,Ā with the villain, Matt Smith. I had a full-on fight scene with Matt Smith in London, where we filmed at a park, and it was crazy.”

He continued,Ā 

“And my arm was all over that scene, and they chopped that out of theĀ movie,Ā because I guess the presence of my arm, you wouldn’t have been able to edit around that.”

He also revealed that the cut-off happened during the post-production phase, as he recounted the possibilities that could have contributedĀ toĀ omitting his work.Ā

“IĀ definitelyĀ asked some questions.Ā It wasn’t chopped because of the running time…But, yeah,Ā I was very disappointed that they chopped that scene, but, you know, look.”

MorbiusĀ follows Michael Morbius who tries an experimental cure for a rare blood disease andĀ transforms him into a vampire alongside his surrogate brother Milo (Matt Smith). While the project grossed over $162 million via the Numbers, which became a laughing stock among fans, it resurged its popularity when the movie was released on Netflix.Ā
