IN ITS ENTIRETY?

>> NOPE.

>> NO.

>> NO ONE HAS SEEN IT, RIGHT?

>> I BARELY READ THE SCRIPT.

>> Jimmy: EVEN YOU HAVEN'T SEEN

IT?

WOW.

BUT YOU KNOW THE WHOLE SCRIPT,

RIGHT?

>> YEAH, YEAH.

>> Jimmy: YOU DO?

>> YOU KNOW THE WHOLE SCRIPT?

OH, THAT'S NICE.

>> YOU TELL US.

>> I READ IT TOO.

>> YOU READ THE WHOLE SCRIPT?

>> THEY DIDN'T WANT ME TO READ

IT.

THEN I HARASSED THE PRODUCERS,

THE DIRECTOR.

I SAID I REALLY NEED TO READ IT.

I REALLY NEED TO READ IT.

AND THEN THEY GAVE TO IT ME ON

AN iPAD.

SOY READ IT.

BUT NOW I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE

DIDN'T READ THE SCRIPT.

I'M NOT SURE IF I READ THE FAKE

ONE OR THE REAL ONE.

>> I READ THAT SCRIPT FIVE

TIMES.

AND I KEPT GOING YOU KNOW WHAT?

THEY SAID NO, NO, NO, YOU READ

THE FAKE ONE.

SO FINALLY THEY PUT ME IN A

ROOM.

AND I'M DYSLEXIC.

AND I SAT DOWN WITH THIS iPAD

CALLED CODE RED.

>> I'VE SEEN ONE.

>> EXACTLY.

I'M READING THIS THING AND I GET

TO THE END OF IT.

AND I RING UP JOE RUSSO.

YOU HAVE THE SAME ENDING WHEN

YOU READ ANOTHER FIGHT ONE.

AT THAT POINT I HAD GIVEN UP 24

HOURS OF MY LIFE TO READING A

SCRIPT THAT I WAS NEVER GOING TO

MAKE.

>> Jimmy: THAT'S ANNOYING.

BUT IMAGINE HOW ANNOYING IT IS

FOR THE WRITERS WITH WRITING A

FAKE SCRIPT THAT NO ONE SEVER

GOING TO USE.

THEY HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND BANG

IT OUT AND MAKE IT BELIEVABLE

FOR NOTHING.

>> I HAVE AN ADMISSION TO MAKE.

AND I WANTED TO DO IT AS KIND OF

A FORMAL APOLOGY.

WHEN WE HAD THE LONG SETUPS

BETWEEN THOSE, I WAS WRITING

FAKE SCRIPTS.

>> IT WAS YOU!

>> Jimmy: AND UPLOADING THEM?

>> AS A GOOD COMPANY MAN THEY

INDOCTRINATED ME TO THE POINT

WHERE I WAS LIKE MANCHURIAN

CANDIDATE.

THEY SAID MY FIRST, MIDDLE AND

LAST NAME AND DID WHATEVER THEY

WANTED.

>> Jimmy: WHO AMONG YOU IS LEAST

TRUSTWORTHY WHEN IT COMES TO THE

SECRETS?

>> OH MY GOD, EVEN THE AUDIENCE.

>> I HEARD THAT.

I HEARD THAT RUMOR TOO.

>> DID YOU TELL THEM WHAT

HAPPENS?

>> SO THE END OF THE MOVIE, I

DON'T KNOW.

>> SNITCHES GET --

>> THE AMERICAN VERSION OF THAT,

EVEN THOUGH WE LOVE YOUR BRITISH

ACCENT IS SNITCHES GET STITCHES,

RIGHT?

NO BRITCHES.

>> BRITCHES!

>> I HAD HEARD THE RUMOR ABOUT

THE FAKE SCRIPT STUFF.

AND I WAS READING WHAT I THOUGHT

WAS A FAKE SCRIPT BECAUSE

SPIDER-MAN IS IN SPACE.

SO I DIDN'T FINISH IT.

BUT I FOUND OUT IT WAS REAL!

>> OKAY.

>> Jimmy: I'VE SEEN 20 MINUTES

OF THE MOVIE.

AND IT IS FANTASTIC, BY THE WAY.

AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING TO

APPEASE ANYBODY.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT.

LIKE 20 MINUTES.

[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ]

>> Jimmy: AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT

I CAN SAY.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO REACT

TO WHAT TOM JUST SAID THERE.

I REALLY DON'T.

>> WHAT DID I JUST SAY?

>> YOU SAID SPIDER-MAN IS IN

SPACE.

>> OH, THAT THING, RIGHT.

YEAH.

IT'S REALLY AWESOME.

>> MEN IN BLACK, EVERY 20

SECONDS, WE JUST WIPE HIM.

HE IS VERY YOUNG.

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> WE CAN GET HIM AND RUFFALO

TOGETHER, IT'S LIKE THE PERFECT

STORM.

>> THEY PUT US TWO IN AN

INTERVIEW TOGETHER THE OTHER DAY

IN CHINA.

AND I THINK THE ONLY REASON WAS

SO THEY COULD CONTROL THE

SOURCE.

SO RUFFALO AND I WERE IN THE

SAME PLACE, IF THERE WAS ONE

LEAK, THEY HAD TO WIPE ONE.

>> HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN THE

FIRST IRONMAN MOVIE CAME OUT?

>> I WOULD HAVE BEEN 11, 12.

>> Jimmy: SO YOU'RE RIGHT IN

THAT WHEEL.

DID YOU GO SEE IT?

>> I HATED IT!

[ LAUGHTER ]

NO, I WAS FIRST IN LINE.

I WAS FIRST IN LINE.

>> Jimmy: IS THAT TRUE?

>> MARVEL HAS BEEN SUCH A

MASSIVE PART OF MY LIFE.

AND IT'S NOW CHANGE MID LIFE.

>> Jimmy: SURE.

SO IT'S BEEN A REAL ROLLER

COASTER.

AND A LOT TO GET USED TO.

BUT THESE GUYS, IT'S AMAZING

WORKING WITH THESE GUYS.

I ALWAYS GET REALLY CHOKED UP

ABOUT THIS.

>> Jimmy: WHO GIVES YOU

GUIDANCE?

DOES ROBERT GIVE YOU GUIDANCE?

>> NOT ANYMORE.

LOOK, CLEARLY, HE IS HIS OWN MAN

NOW.

I DON'T WANT TO BE BITTER ABOUT

IT.

I DON'T WANT TO PIVOT ON THIS,

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT

"AVATAR"?

>> Jimmy: THAT'S A REALLY GOOD

QUESTION.

[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ]

>> I CAN'T SAY MUCH, OKAY?

BECAUSE JIM IS PROBABLY

SOMEWHERE.

>> CAMERON, YEAH.

>> WIPE ME OUT.

>> WHEN WE WERE SHOOTING THE

VERY FIRST "AVATAR," WHICH I

JUST MENTIONED TO YOU DURING THE

COMMERCIAL BREAK WE WERE SHOEING

IN PLAYA VISTA IN THIS LITTLE

AREA IN LOS ANGELES
