"I’m out of the reptilian closet," Ifans said Friday afternoon while smoking a cigarette on a balcony at the Hilton Bayfront at the Comic-Con convention in San Diego. "I’m the Lizard."
The 43-year-old Welsh actor said his role as a one-armed scientist named Dr. Connors is "a dream come true."
"He’s not a bad man; far from it, he’s a great man who makes one bad decision," Ifans says. "One ethical and moral decision leads to terrible things. The science isn’t evil and the man isn’t evil. It’s one bad decision."
Ifans said addiction is among the colors his performance — the serum delivers a swooning power, and Connors finds himself pulled toward a dark place. "That gave me a lot to work with," Ifans said.
