We start filming at the beginning of June so I have a couple weeks of rehearsal. I've got some intense rehearsal actually. I have to learn some fighting skills now.

Jones is pleased with the way the Abe Sapien character develops in the second movie, although he wouldn t reveal any real details on the script. I'm very happy with the script and what happens for Abe Sapien this time. It's Guillermo del Toro's signature thing where he touches on a piece of your childhood, your adolescence and Abe Sapien is a very old, intelligent character.

He's been around for a long, long time but his love life is something that's never been tapped into before. So just like a 13-year-old boy with his first crush, this is how you're going to see Abe this time, at least a portion of him. Will that affect his decision making powers?

Does it make us stupid when we're in love for the first time? It did me, so let's see what happens to Abe. As for the possibility of more movies involving the Silver Surfer character, Jones is keeping his options open.

We'll have a look at that when it happens, said Jones. The studio does have options for part two and three for me. I did sign a three picture deal going in, so we'll always investigate what's up for the next movie.

At this point in Jones career, the chameleonic actor could teach a course in how to act and even fight while covered in make-up and creature costumes. There's physical barriers with any part like that where you're covered with makeup and when you're in a rubbery suit that wants to spring back to one position, the position it was made in, you do have to kind of - it's like a Bowflex where you have use a certain muscle group to get through that and make him look organic, explained Jones. But I have to make that a part of my being and my physicality and again, acting is a full body experience and that's a part of it when you're doing a costumed character.
