In an interview with People, Murphy spoke about his return to the character and how he struggled with the physical aspects of the film, admitting he prefers to “be on the couch,” saying,

It’s a really physical movie and I had to do some physical stuff,” he said. “I like to be on the couch, I don’t like to be jumping over and shooting and running. And I had to do some jumping and shooting and running. And as a result at the end of the movie, I had a knee brace and my back is messed up. But the movie is gonna be special.
