Harrison – who first starred as the adventurer in Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981 – said, “I don’t really want to give them what they want to see, I want to give them something they didn’t expect to see.

“The Marvel movies are a spectacular example of a success that worked the other way around – they killed it.”
