Love/Hate star Tom Vaughan-Lawlor is remaining tight-lipped about his mystery role in the upcoming Avengers movie.
According to the Internet Movie Database, the Dublin actor plays the villainous Ebony Maw in Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War, which is due for release next year. But speaking on the Late Late Show on Friday night, Vaughan-Lawlor was reluctant to reveal further details of his role.
Referring to the secrecy surrounding the Marvel production, he said: "Sometimes it's the questions that you don't answer that get you into more trouble than the ones you do!
"Here's what I can say: I auditioned for the part - as people do - and you send off these auditions and you try your best and you hope you do well.
"I got a call back and they said, 'Do you want to become involved?' I said 'Yes' and had an amazing adventure."

Avengers: Infinity War was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia and sees Benedict Cumberbatch return to the screen as Doctor Strange for the outing.
Thirty-nine-year-old Vaughan-Lawlor, who is currently starring in Maze, a new movie about the 1983 breakout from Long Kesh, was first revealed as one of the stars of Avengers: Infinity War last July when an on-set shot of his character attacking Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange was leaked online.
Vaughan-Lawlor was wearing a motion capture suit and a helmet with a camera in the picture. "That was a very different experience for me as an actor," he said. "It was, and is, a very interesting journey.
"What I can say is that the stars of this movie are as concerned with the minutiae of a drama scene as they would be if they were working in a small theatre - they work in the same way. It's just a bigger scale."
