So, I mean, I giggled reading it," he added.
The actor added saying that there is going to be a lot more technology involved in the film from the last time."I think just in the last three or four years, just technology's constantly... it's just moving at such a rapid pace that what we're doing with underwater... I mean, that's what made the first one so amazing, so, it's just gone on to a whole other level, so I'm excited for everyone. Because it's just a lot more heart. There's a lot more at risk," he further added.
