Tom Hopper found a brotherhood in the cast of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf.
At the Prime Video series’ New York City premiere on Aug. 4, Hopper spoke to PEOPLE about the close bond he developed on The Terminal List spinoff show’s set. The actor said his costars Taylor Kitsch and Chris Pratt welcomed him with open arms on set.
“Taylor, on the very first day, wrote me a card and left it in my trailer and said, ‘Let’s rip it up, let’s be brave. Let’s have at it,’” Hopper, 40, said. “That kind of set the tone for me of the way he [ran] a set as a lead of the show.”
Hopper described the chemistry among his fellow cast members as a brotherhood.
He fondly recalled going go-kart racing, playing paddle tennis and causing “havoc.”
“We all became so tight so quickly,” Hopper said.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf follows the origin story of Kitsch’s Ben Edwards.
The prequel series comes two years after The Terminal List, which is based on the 2018 novel of the same name, debuted in 2022. It takes the audience on Ben’s journey from his time as a Navy SEAL to the CIA.
Kitsch, Pratt and Hopper star alongside Luke Hemsworth, Jared Shaw, Dar Salim, Robert Wisdom, Rona-Lee Shimon and Shiraz Tzarfati.
