So do you have green hair in this movie?

BURRELL: Actually, no. When we meet Samson, he still has his normal, boring hair.

So you don't get irradiated in this movie?:

BURRELL:Uh, no. [Hesitates] I don't want to give anything away.

How would you describe Samson?

He's very similar to the comics. Here's a guy who's perfectly smart and very well intended. But he has a blind spot because of that hubris. He feels like he can help everybody through [psychology]. He really believes he's the smartest person in the room, and feels he can use that to help people. Yet that's also his weakness.

Are there scenes of Banner on Samson's couch?

So to speak, yeah. There are moments in the film where we're definitely feeling each other out. Their relationship is incredibly complicated. You see their potential for being friends and also why they could be adversaries.

Does this film set up Samson to have a big role in a sequel?

Yeah, it does. The stuff we can look forward to in the sequel is as complicated as the comics. Edward has really laid fertile soil for a friendship-slash-enemy situation.
