00:00There has been so much secrecy surrounding your character.
00:02How hard has it been to keep this secret?
00:04It's definitely gotten easier.
00:06We've been doing a lot of press, so I feel like I've really drilled it down.
00:09But at first, every time I do an interview, I was like, sweaty palms.
00:12I'm scared to say the wrong thing.
00:14But, you know, I've gotten used to it now.
00:17There is a musical element to this show.
00:19What was it like prepping for the musical numbers?
00:21And did Patti LuPone give any sort of musical theater advice to the cast?
00:26You know, working with Patti on the musical numbers is very much a bucket list.
00:29You know, you can't really pick anyone better to do anything musical with.
00:34She's just the most iconic icon ever.
00:37So we had the best time doing it.
00:38It was really fun.
00:40The trailer makes this show look very spooky compared to most Marvel shows.
00:44Would you say it's Marvel's spookiest or scariest show yet?
00:48I would say it's up there.
00:50Yeah, it's definitely, definitely got a lot of spooky elements.
00:52There's definitely, even watching it, I think filming it because you don't really see the darkness in the edit.
00:58And then watching it, I was like, oh, God, this is quite scary sometimes, which is fun.
01:02It's great.
01:03Perfect for, you know, spooky season.
01:05For you, what has it been like stepping into the Marvel Universe?
01:08It's been amazing.
01:09Like, I constantly have had to pinch myself.
01:12I really, I'm living my childhood dreams.
01:15I'm really very grateful for everything that's happened.
01:17I heard there were so many practical effects used in this show and practical sets built.
01:23How did that help you as an actor bring this character to life?
01:26I mean, it was amazing.
01:28You know, there's nothing better than being an actor than having the thing you're supposed to be acting with there.
01:33We were filming in this forest they'd built inside, and every bit you see at The Witch's Road is real.
01:37There's no VFX there.
01:38But, you know, it feels like you're in, like, a playing, like you're in an adventure.
01:43You're, like, I don't know.
01:45It made it so, so much fun.
01:47There were so many titles for this show as we were learning about it.
01:50Why do you think Agatha All Along is the perfect title for this show?
01:53Because it was Agatha All Along.
01:55It makes it all make sense, you know.
01:57It was Agatha All Along.
01:59We've been seeing so much of you lately.
02:01Coming up, you have Heartstopper Season 3.
02:03What are you excited for fans of the show to see in that new season?
02:06I'm excited for them to see the characters, like, really growing up this year.
02:09I think, you know, teenagers are often misunderstood and talked down to,
02:15and I really hope that our show helps negate that and really, you know, see the maturity in being a teenager.
02:21There's been such a strong fan response to the show.
02:24What has that fan response been like for you?
02:26It's been really great.
02:26You know, it's really amazing to be part of something that people actually care about
02:30and, you know, people really affect you on a deeper level.
02:33You know, it's really nice to have your work matter.
