00:00You're joining yet another world.

00:02You collect them just like infinity stuff.

00:04I feel like so blessed and honored to be invited

00:07and to join these different worlds that are so large in their storytelling

00:12but very definitive in their messages surrounding that storytelling

00:18is one thing that I'm really grateful for.

00:21But I'm also grateful to be with really incredible filmmakers

00:25who have found a way to tell these stories

00:29not only profoundly but in such a visual sense of this major world that we're in.

00:35So when I say I'm in gratitude, I really mean it from my heart.

00:38I had such a great time making this movie with these filmmakers, with this cast.

00:43It was really not only fun but it was profoundly changed my life.

00:47That's the thing and you can tell with the Russo's and I love their films

00:50but they have such frequent collaborators

00:52that you can just feel how much people love working with them.

00:56There's no doubt about it and that's real.

00:58That's not like trying to make them look good

01:01because that's the thing to do politically correct on the red carpet.

01:04I was moved by how they work.

01:06They share one voice, number one, a singular voice of their own

01:10and one understanding and mindful voice together.

01:14But sometimes they come in in the morning and there'd be Tony

01:16and he'd be directing in the morning and 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock would come

01:19and then there would be Joe.

01:20And I felt their differences but I felt seamless in how they perceived what they were doing.

01:28And part of our lives are communicating.

01:30What we do here on the screen is to communicate a certain essence and feelings

01:33of who we are and who the character is.

01:36And we have to do that honestly and truthfully for a reason, for a purpose,

01:40to move you as an audience from one place to another.

01:41But when you work with these guys, they have to communicate their desire and wishes

01:46of what they see as well.

01:48So the clarity is really beautiful but the openness and vulnerability is also an incredible thing

01:54to feel like you're a part of something that's going to make a difference

01:57but your voice is honored.

01:59It's not like, oh, yeah, no, we can't do that.

02:00Or, no, no, I see it a different way.

02:02It's really discussed and, oh, that might be interesting.

02:05Let's try it or not try it.

02:07But it's always open that you're a part of a family collaborating on something bigger than you are.

02:12And so then that allows me to let my ego go and do my best work.

02:15Well, now that they're heading into Avengers as well, are you like,

02:18did you see what Sidewander did?

02:19We have some ideas here.

02:20How about that?

02:21Well, you never know.

02:21That's always the wish and hope, you know, and it's always a gift when it comes.

02:25So I never really quite ask.

02:27I always want to let my work speak for itself.

02:30And if you want me to feel like there's a place for me within something else that you're doing,

02:34God, would I ever love to be there.

02:37My pleasure.
