The film, which premieres in cinemas and on Sky Cinema on March 12 also stars Andy Serkis, Noel Clarke and Tom Wilkinson.
Speaking to Total Film, Sam explained that he's done a lot of action scenes in his career but "never like this".
He joked that talking to Andy McNab about what was involved was "kind of scary", he said: "Talk to Andy McNab about how to kill a man with a phone, and he'll tell you how to do it. And he'll tell you in full detail."
Interestingly, Sam's character is described as "good functional psychopath" in the new film.
It will be intriguing to see how the star sinks his teeth into this new role.
Outlander fans can look forward to a lot more Sam this year, with season 6 of the hit show about to begin filming again.
