00:00This is such a groundbreaking moment, but why did you decide to have two women star in an action film?
00:08Tell me a little bit about that choice.
00:11I mean, this world, this genre is something that I've been dying to do.
00:16I love action films.
00:18There's a narrative in Hollywood that women don't dig action films, don't want to make action films, and that's just not true.
00:24When this script came to me, written by Greg Rucka and based on his graphic novel, The Old Guard, I mean, I knew within like five pages that I was in the fact that it was just this dope story that kept surprising me.
00:39But it was about two women at the center and one being a young black female hero, which we never get to see.
00:46And knowing that we would be able to bring this character to life, talking with Kiki about it, the fact that we got to together create this character, this female hero, black woman that we can be inspired by, that was everything that I needed.
