Transcript
00:00You look stunning.
00:01Oh, thank you so much. Thank you.
00:02What was it like reuniting with Timothy for this film?
00:06What was it like playing his rival this time?
00:08And also just being a part of such a massive cast?
00:12Coming back to working with a friend is always probably,
00:17it's the thing that you try and do throughout all of your career.
00:21You always want to go back and work with people that you know you work really well with.
00:24And then just being able to watch my friend rise to the unbelievable occasion
00:29of being this quite brilliant lead
00:32and becoming not only dealing with playing Paul,
00:37but also dealing with what it's like to be the actor that is playing Paul
00:40and meaning so much to so many.
00:42It was a really, really beautiful experience.
00:44Of course, also joining the cast was Austin Butler.
00:46I know you mentioned when he played Elvis,
00:48it was kind of hard for him to shake that voice, the Elvis voice.
00:51So I was wondering for you, was there anything about this character
00:53that was kind of hard to shake after filming?
00:55No, no.
00:57I didn't live with the character like Austin did for a long, long time.
01:01I think it's expected when you're with someone for a very long time
01:05that you're going to keep attributes.
01:06Unfortunately, I wanted to be working in the movie for much longer,
01:09but I was only able to work for a month.
01:11Yeah, they wouldn't.
01:12I tried, I actually even asked Denis if he could write me
01:14into one of the desert sequences, and he was like, no.
01:18Maybe if I'd been on it for longer, I'd be more of a princess by now.
01:21We would have loved to see that.
01:22Any more of you on screen, we'll take.
01:24Bless. Thank you so much.
01:25Well, I heard that you're flying straight to Atlanta after this
01:28to start Thunderbolts.
01:29What is it like stepping back into that character MCU role
01:32after like a minute away?
01:33Oh, my God.
01:34We've been trying to make this movie for years.
01:36I mean, I remember when Black Widow, when we finished Black Widow,
01:38they were already starting to talk about where the storyline was going to go,
01:41and then when Black Widow came out,
01:42we were already, you know, ready to start shooting,
01:45and then we got shut down by SAG,
01:47and obviously a few years in between that.
01:48But it's been a movie that we've all been desperate to make for a long time,
01:52and we finally come together with our fantastic director, Jake.
01:55And we've got an amazing cast that I'm just like, you know,
01:59that world, being a part of the Marvel Universe,
02:01is probably the most supportive family to be involved with,
02:06and I feel very, very lucky to be a part of it,
02:09and I feel so excited to get back to work.
