With the release of Marvel Studios’ Assembled: The Making of Secret Invasion, a documentary consisting of the idea and its execution that went behind the creation of the series, the Ready Player One star opened up about his tenure playing the Skurll aide of Nick Fury in the franchise for some time now. He said that while he was happy that he got the opportunity to become part of the MCU and also revealed that he would definitely miss being on the sets, and especially miss shooting scenes with Jackson. He said:
“I’m going to miss this one; I’m going to miss it a lot. I’m going to miss the degree to which this is in people’s hearts. I’m going to miss the people that a lot of the audience don’t see, who make up the real experience and what it is to do these things — people I work with every day. And I’m going to miss being on-set with Sam.”
Therefore, with a heartfelt message, the star leaves behind his memories and his major contributions to the MCU with his character.
