How was working with Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America?
I loved it. Anthony is such a talented actor and wonderful human being. I know a lot has been said about following in the footsteps of another actor, but to me, he is Captain America. He embodies the character perfectly, and I very much enjoyed working with him again, although I had to be reminded of the first time. He played a dead guy in the trunk of a car in Hollywood Homicide, a movie I did 20 years or more ago. He’s come a long way, I’ll tell you that.
Has the way you approach playing a character changed over the years?
I wouldn’t say so. I have always been interested in human behaviour and different personalities, and that is really the basis of every character I have played. I like to research and try to understand who the character is, why they do what they do, and how that might affect the people around them.
Was Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny definitely your farewell as that character, or could you be tempted back again?
No, that was it. Indiana Jones has been a wonderful chapter in my life. I am proud of the five movies we made, and I will be forever grateful that we got to give the character the ending he deserves.
