Members of Parliament (MP) recently passed a vote ordering Johnson to delay Brexit instead of taking the country out of the EU in an effort to quell the immediate economic impact. They’ve repeatedly rejected the exit deal Theresa May, the previous prime minister, negotiated before her exit while refusing to leave without a deal this month,according to Reuters.

Johnson compared the Brexit situation in England to frustrations boiling inside Bruce Banner, the mild-mannered scientist who transforms into the Hulk when he gets angry.

“Banner might be bound in manacles, but when provoked he would explode out of them,” Johnson said in the interview.

His comic book comparisons drew backlash online with Member of European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, who remarked on Twitter: “Even to Trumpian standards the Hulk comparison is infantile.”

“Is the EU supposed to be scared by this? The British public impressed? Is this Boris Johnson whistling in the dark? ” Verhofstadt added.

The Prime Minister says he wants to negotiate a new deal that doesn’t include a ‘backstop’ which could tie the country to EU rules after it leaves to avoid border checks between Ireland and Northern Ireland. It’s been a key factor in negotiations between the UK and the EU and Johnson says discussions with European leaders about ditching the ‘backstop’ have shown “real signs of movement.”

“There’s a very, very good conversation going on about how to address the issues of the Northern Irish border. A huge amount of progress is being made, ”Johnson told the Mail on Sunday.

He is scheduled to meet with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker this week in Luxembourg where he remains confident in getting a Brexit deal done, saying that “we will get there” and a “huge amount of progress is being made.”

“I will be talking to Jean-Claude about how We’re going to do it. I’m very confident, “Johnson said.
