Mel, 66, also told how he asked for Danny's blessing to direct the movie following the death of director Richard Donner - who took charge of the first four films.

And after getting Richard's blessing, Mel told how he then turned to Danny to ask his thoughts on him directing, also confirming that Danny was on board with reprising his iconic role.
