00:00So good to see you.
00:01How are we feeling? Hollywood Boulevard is shut down.
00:04This is wild. This is wild.
00:06And it's been a long time coming.
00:08I am thrilled to be here now.
00:10And I'm thrilled that everybody else gets to know what I already know.
00:14That this is a project that we've all needed.
00:19I was going to say, I have a lot of questions for you,
00:21and probably only a few of them that you can actually answer.
00:24Because last we saw you, Sam Wilson was honoring Isaiah in that museum.
00:29We see him finally getting recognized.
00:31He has such a tragic backstory.
00:33Then we see the trailer, and I'm like, something happened while we've been gone.
00:38So where do we find Isaiah when we pick it up in this movie?
00:41Well, you know, Sam had to convince Isaiah to come back into the world.
00:45And receiving that statue was a tremendous honor.
00:48But it didn't change the fact that Isaiah is still imprisoned inside himself.
00:54And Sam's doing the best he can with him.
00:57But it's, you know, it's a learning curve being in a brand new, brave new world.
01:03Yes.
01:03And there's a lot of changes.
01:05We have Harrison Ford this time around, and he's going to Hulk out as Red Hulk.
01:08As someone who has seen him in the transformation,
01:12how do you describe working with Harrison and seeing him in full Hulk out?
01:17I can only say this about Harrison.
01:19He is consummate in every way.
01:21He's a consummate performer, and he's an impeccable gentleman.
01:26And he works harder.
01:28And he's actually older than I am.
01:31He works harder than anyone I know.
01:33He's an inspiration.
01:37What do you hope people take away from Brave New World?
01:39It does feel like we're kind of entering a new era of the MCU going forward.
01:42But I think, I hope people take away the fact that there's bravery in all of us
01:47and that that's a cause for hope.
01:49No matter what it may look like, we can reach inside ourselves
01:54and offer what we have to other people.
01:57And together, we're all brave.
02:00I liked watching the Super Bowl and seeing Nick Fury himself show up as a surprise.
02:04Did you check that out?
02:05Did you see the halftime show?
02:06No, I did not.
02:07I did not.
02:08But I'm going to because I have it taped.
02:10Because now everyone's talking about it.
02:11Right, exactly.
02:12Also, it is Valentine's Day around the corner.
02:15Are you a romantic guy?
02:16What are your plans?
02:17And do you have a favorite rom-com?
02:19I consider myself a lover.
02:22I am fairly romantic.
02:23I don't know that I have a favorite rom-com.
02:31And it's not a rom-com, but I think Brave New World is a wonderful offering of love.
02:38Yeah, I mean, we have the red theme, so.
02:40That's right.
02:42That's right.
02:43Well, I would just urge everyone to go out on Valentine's Day and decide for themselves.
02:48Yeah, great movie.
02:49Yeah.
02:49Thank you so much.
02:50Such a pleasure.
02:51My pleasure.
