" Tim Roth is Emil Blonsky, who becomes Abomination. He’s an ace, but he’s an ace that is kind of over the hill. I really wanted to work with Tim Roth; he’s an amazing actor and he’s extraordinary on the screen. When I met Tim I was like, “God!” He was so good and had so much energy that I said, “Blomsky must be Tim Roth.” I had to push — Marvel, Edward, everybody was hesitant to get Tim, but he really added a new dimension to the character. He is the opposite of Bruce Banner — he’s a fighter, he’s a machine, he’s a very effective, cool-as-a-cucumber soldier that is over the hill – 38, 39 years old – has finished his life as a soldier, should be a Colonel by now and has never accepted that failure. He loves being a fighter, loves being on the field."
