Lucas Till says it's been 'awesome' to have been part of Monster Trucks.
Lucas Till in Monster Trucks
The first trailer for Monster Trucks, which is released in February next year, was released this week and Till will take on the central role of what will be his first lead role in a major film.
Till is no stranger to the blockbuster with the X-Men franchise under his belt, but he has felt that there was less pressure with this new project and he believes that it is one that does have potential.
Speaking to ScreenRant, the actor said: "You don't really think about how high the stakes could be [in a new franchise]. I guess that's the only difference [Laughs]. Because they could be pretty high later on, but it's nice, because you get to create on your own and you don't really get very many opportunities like that, because usually movies that get made are something that have been made a million times before - or an existing property that's in the comic world or a novel or something.
"So it's really, really awesome to be a part of something like this, that has a potential to be a franchise, but also it's mine, it's whatever I want to do with it.
The actor went on to compare worked on Monster Trucks to working on X-Men and admits that it was more 'relaxing' this time around.
"It's relaxing. Because with X-Men, I was just nervous beforehand, nervous when I got it, nervous during the movie, and nervous after it came out for a year until I talked to as many people as I could and got a good range of people to tell me whether or not I messed it up!"
Chris Wedge is in the director's chair for Monster Trucks while Jane Levy, Barry Pepper, Amy Ryan, Rob Lowe, Danny Glover, Thomas Lennon, Holt McCallany are also on the cast list.
Till is back on the big screen at the moment as he has reprised the role of Havok in X-Men: Apocalypse, which has topped both the U.S. and UK box office.
The actor has also completed work on The Disappointments Room, which sees him team up with filmmaker D.J. Caruso. Kate Beckinsale is also on the cast list.
Monster Trucks is released 3rd February 2017.
