The 'Avengers' actor was a huge fan of the original films when he was growing up, and so would love to be the part of recently-announced episodes in the sci-fi series, reports contactmusic.com.

Asked if he would be interested in the new films, he told MTV News: "Oh man, I love those films. That's the sort of bread and butter of my film experience as a kid. I would love to work on something like that."
