In an earlier interview, Jude Law discussed his role in the upcoming film while admitting that he was ‘hesitant’ to talk about the project.

“I say that hesitatingly because I haven’t really started work on it yet. I mean, I have, but at the moment it looks like an Everest to climb, so I’m in the foothills looking up thinking, ‘Oh Christ, what have I said?’ That’s often how I feel whilst I say yes,” the Hollywood actor said in an interview with a US media outlet.
