He said: "It’s a tricky one for me with Agent Kallus because I play a white guy with ginger sideburns in the animated version so I don’t quite know how to square that away in the live-action version.

"But Rosario Dawson is a great friend of mine and I see the great work she’s doing with her show so I would never say no."
