On Thursday's edition of the Jimmy Kimmel Live talk show, presumably in a pre-recorded piece, he joked about his own tendencies to veer towards rage. One comment was: "We have some serious work to do here; we're trying to resuscitate this franchise from the fucking cellar... so just shove off." 



Another was even more prescient. "This is like my first big action movie and this is what I fucking get... This is not what I fucking signed up for."
