"I made it up on set. Honestly, first of all, I kept hearing and seeing from fans who were just begging to see this wardrobe, and I kept thinking as we were shooting, 'How can I do this? How could I ever service this desire for people to see it?' And there was a point where I just asked the prop department to make me a gift box. So when I did that scene on the plane with Yukio, with Rila and Hugh, I had no costume. The studio hadn’t approved of making one or doing anything, but I thought, 'Let’s just shoot a couple takes where he opens the box and reacts to it, and I can figure out what to put inside the box later.'

I’ve got a good angle on it but I’m not ready to talk about it yet!"
