00:00What was the biggest challenge you feel like you faced while making this movie?

00:04I think that, you know, we got challenged by Kevin in the beginning of this to really make something different

00:08and also to really lean into a ton of practical effects and shooting on location and doing things for real,

00:14even if that meant that it was smaller, but if it felt real and textured and grounded,

00:18that that was something he was excited about.

00:20It's really something I'm excited about as a filmmaker, but it's not easy to do when you have superheroes in the film.

00:25So we just had an incredible group of stunt people and second unit directors and effects people and special effects people

00:30who hadn't done this stuff in forever of, like, having chairs fly at people and actually hit them

00:35and all the things that kind of maybe we've gotten away from in recent times.

00:40And it wasn't easy to bring that back, but it was a very fun challenge to try.

00:46How is this movie different than other Marvel movies we've seen before?

00:50So, how is it?

00:51Why?

00:52You want me to answer?

00:52No, you can.

00:53Do you know what?

00:54I just find that with the characters and, you know, like, with the misfit-ness of us all

01:00and, you know, we're all villains and, you know, we're in this movie,

01:03it starts off with this kind of obstacle already.

01:07And I think it's fun because we're not a team.

01:12We don't know how.

01:14I don't know what team means.

01:16No one in this movie can even go, what is a team, huh?

01:18So, it's kind of, it's different.

01:22Like, we're starting in such a different place.

01:24And like I was saying, like, this movie, it's funny.

01:27You really get to know the characters and the depths of, you know, what they're going through,

01:32what they've done, what is right, what they believe in, you know, the heart of what they actually care about, actually.

01:41And that's a big thing because also the audience, you want them to, and I think they will really care about these characters

01:48and, you know, not just kind of vilify them and actually understand them and relate in a way.

01:56And, yeah, so I think that's different from, you know, the kind of your usual superhero movie.

02:02Definitely.

02:04Definitely.

02:04And for both of you, what was it like being up on that Hall H stage today?

02:08Oh, it was amazing.

02:11It was amazing.

02:11Just seeing the sea of fans and the energy and just, that's why I do this, you know.

02:19It's just, it's that gorgeous love in the room for this and the fan and the support.

02:25I mean, it wouldn't be, we wouldn't be doing it without our fans.

02:28And it's just, it was, yeah, it's enigmatic.

02:30It's magic.

02:30Yeah, I mean, well, I'm editing right now.

02:33So I was in the tiny editing room till 8 p.m. last night just trying to get this thing put together.

02:38So it's nice to actually see a bunch of people watching it and remind you, like, how much it means to people.

02:43And, you know, we just hope it meant so much to us making it and we put so much into it.

02:48And it's nice to feel that it matters to the people that want to watch it.

02:51And it inspires you to want to work that hard and give them something that they can appreciate.
