“I asked Chris if he would audition, and he couldn’t because he was doing Avengers. The next day, or literally within 36 hours, I had a self-made audition that he did, just from his hotel room from location in Albuquerque,” director Ron Howard told MTV News about Chris‘ casting for Rush.

He added, “It was unbelievable. Brian [Grazer] was right. We had our Hunt. Suddenly, it was done. We had a great young cast, and they were gifted and right for the roles. Ultimately, it was the easiest time I had casting a movie.”
