00:00You've been doing a string of big-budget studio movies lately with Tenet, this one,

00:05Kraven the Hunter. After doing some indie films, what made you feel like this was the right time

00:09to come back to this crazy world?

00:13Well, the thing about this movie is the originality, right? This is a movie that no one really...

00:17I mean, this is based off of a book, but, like, there isn't any huge expectation

00:22behind these characters, right? For the most part, they're unpredictable.

00:25They're things that... it's refreshing. So, as an audience, they really just can go to see it

00:30and really fully immerse themselves in it and enjoy it.

00:33So, there's something really different about this one.

00:35But, listen, you know, you sign up for a David Looch movie, it's got Brad Pitt involved,

00:40and there's a bunch of stunts and a great ensemble, and, you know, it's a laugh-out-loud comedy.

00:44So, it's a no-brainer, honestly. I don't like to get pigeonholed into...

00:49I'm not even pigeonholed, I just don't... I just get bored.

00:52Like, I have to keep changing it up, do you know what I mean?

00:55So, I never really know what I'm going to do next.

00:58And, you know, sometimes an opportunity is an opportunity, and you go for it, you know?

01:03And you're filming Kraven the Hunter right now.

01:05How does the action work you did on this movie compare to what you're doing on that?

01:09It's completely different because it's a different character, right?

01:13So, I approach everything through the character, so it doesn't really matter if it's...

01:18whether it's the same stunt crew or not, or whatever it is.

01:22If the physicality and action is involved, it's still got to be behind the lens of the character

01:27and feel true to the way that person presents themselves in those situations.

01:33Yeah.

01:34This is a huge ensemble cast.

01:36Who did you actually get to work with and film with the most?

01:39Brian Tyree Henry!

01:41He's my brother-in-arms in this one, my partner-in-crime.

01:45So, we built such a great bond and a friendship on this one.

01:50We're, like, literally codependent.

01:52So, every time I wasn't with him, I was literally nervous to shoot a day.

01:56But, you know, then the other person was Brad Pitt, so it's not too bad.

02:00And this is definitely a badass movie.

02:02What would you say is the most badass moment in this movie?

02:08There's some real badass moments in this one.

02:11It's really hard.

02:12You can't really pinpoint one.

02:13I mean, I think, you know, watching this back, I thought Joey King absolutely kills it.

02:16Her accent's fantastic and flawless.

02:18Her, you know, she's a manipulative character, so it's always fun to watch.

02:25Bad Bunny comes on and does his thing and kills it.

02:29And I think everyone's excited to see that, too.

02:31And then there's a few little cameos that might just be some nice little surprises.

02:36So, those were some good days, too.

02:38Amazing.

02:39Thank you so much.

02:40Have a great night tonight.
