According to Ray, it got bad when it was time to do reshoots.

“Then you find out that a few producers have come down, and your performance is too much, it’s too strong… That’s the way Marvel works,” he told Radio Times. “It can be soul-destroying because you feel like you’re doing great work.”

Ray continued, recalling, “I actually said, ‘You ought to recast it because that was it for me.’ And you end up doing it again because you’re contracted to do it.”

“Otherwise you end up in court. It’s like being kicked in the balls,” he concluded.
