00:00I'd love to see him next to Aquaman,
00:01see how that goes down, right?
00:03I'm excited to see him around a lot of different characters.
00:06I mean, really, I want to see him up with Superman.
00:07Hi, it's so good to see you again.
00:09It's so good to see you again.
00:11All right.
00:12We're back.
00:14Honestly, you're one of my favorite people.
00:15And the second that you came on screen in here,
00:17it just made me smile.
00:19Lomo, he just felt like he had so much of your energy.
00:23Is it the most you character you've ever played?
00:26I mean, it's definitely me.
00:28Like at its worst, I guess,
00:30like really jacked up and like to the next level.
00:33But yeah, I mean, there's definitely traits that we both love.
00:37He does seem, though, that he doesn't really
00:38want to help anyone but himself.
00:40Which is the opposite.
00:41And that I can believe.
00:42Yes.
00:42But do you think there are any DC characters
00:45that he would actually get along with and want to hang out with?
00:48I'd love to see him next to Aquaman,
00:49see how that goes down, right?
00:52I'm excited to see him around a lot of different characters.
00:54I mean, really, I want to see him up with Superman.
00:56Him and Superman definitely.
00:56I mean, I can't see why that wouldn't happen.
00:58But he's pretty funny, though, too.
01:00Like, Superman's great.
01:01So I'm just curious of like how their interactions are going to be.
01:03Because he's not, you know,
01:05the Superman that would have been, you know,
01:07if I would have been next to Henry,
01:08is a different version of like sitting next to Corn Sweat.
01:10Yeah.
01:11They're both phenomenal.
01:12But I think it would be different.
01:14So I'm excited to see how it would be handled.
01:16I just want more of him, though.
01:18Surely they've had a conversation with you at some point about a standalone.
01:21If it does well, people like it.
01:22They're going to, you know, fans love it.
01:24We're going to answer to that.
01:25You know what I mean?
01:26It has a lot to do with you, though.
01:27People love you.
01:29We want to see it.
01:29Yeah, we'll see.
01:29You'll see.
01:31But I know you said it was kind of like a childhood dream to play this character.
01:35You've done so much.
01:36Is there still any more like childhood dreams to take off?
01:39I'm kind of at the end of my dreams, you know.
01:42Like the big thing for me was like doing Chief Award,
01:44doing something that was for my people and being able to direct that.
01:48So I think doing something that's close to my culture is the one.
01:52This obviously comic book is amazing, but I'm like,
01:55this year I'm playing my favorite video game when I grew up.
01:57I'm playing Blanca, I'm like Duncan Idaho.
01:59I'm kind of like, what?
02:01I'm kind of like, it's good.
02:04I don't have too much more.
02:06I'm like, I just, there's actors and directors you want to work with.
02:09So I'm excited to, you know, work with some of my favorites.
02:12Who might maybe?
02:13Benicio Del Toro.
02:14You know, Javier is, you know, I got to work with him on Dune,
02:18who I just adore and love.
02:19You know, working with Denis, again, I think, you know, Sean Penn.
02:25And there's just great actors that I love that I would love to meet.
02:28I love Benicio.
02:29Once he, he saved me from a falling backdrop during a junket.
02:32Really?
02:32Yeah.
02:33He literally got up and he was like.
02:35So, he's a great guy.
02:36He's a good guy.
02:37He's a good man.
02:38I would love to see, love to see the two of you.
02:39Yeah, yeah, I want these days.
02:41And listen, we know that the sun, the yellow sun is what recharges Supergirl.
02:45I want to know what recharges you, Jason.
02:48Like, what is it?
02:49Where do you go?
02:50What do you do to make sure that you feel recharged?
02:53Motorcycles recharge me.
02:55When I get in the wind and I'm on my motorcycles, that's a big one for me.
02:59Places, New Zealand, Hawaii, are probably like my Ireland, are probably like my spots.
03:05Yeah.
03:05You know, family.
03:06Of course.
03:07My lady.
03:08Yeah.
03:09You know, there's certain things that just people that breathe better, relax, it calms me.
03:15So, having said that, my kids also, you know, they do that what they're supposed to do.
03:21Teach us.
03:21Yes.
03:22Teach us.
03:23My niece and nephews, I love them.
03:24They recharge me, but they also exhaust the hell out of me.
03:28But Hawaii is my favorite place in the entire world.
03:31And so, like, when you say that.
03:33Yeah, I mean, you got to think about that water.
03:34Like, when I get into the water in Hawaii, it's like, it's that feeling.
03:39Yeah.
03:40It's totally recharging.
03:42Yeah.
03:42It takes everything away.
03:43And, like, this whole experience of, like, doing this Supergirl, doing this superhero
03:47world, like, what does that mean to you?
03:49Because it brings so much joy into, like, people's lives.
03:52I do a lot of these movies, and a lot of the movies I've done is, like, with my kids.
03:57You know, like, I really want to be in stuff that they can go watch and we can share together.
04:01So, maybe it'll get weirder when the older I get.
04:04But, you know, right now, they're 17 and, you know, 18.
04:08And I enjoy watching it with them.
04:10I got to go watch Supergirl yesterday.
04:11And, you know, we laughed and cried.
04:13My kids were stoked.
04:14You know, they were on set when I was doing Justice League and Aquaman, and now they get
04:18to see this one.
04:19It was just an amazing movie for my daughter to go see this and, like, holding it down.
04:23These two women holding down this movie.
04:26And it's just a wonderful movie.
04:28It is.
04:29I'm really excited for people to see it and, like, people to go, like, dude, I did not
04:31expect that.
04:32I think not a lot of people are going to expect how freaking good this movie is.
04:36Oh, Millie's incredible.
04:38She's kills it.
04:39I'm so proud of her.
04:40Yeah, yeah.
04:40Like I said, you bring a lot of joy into everyone's life.
04:41I'm just going in there and playing around.
04:43Yeah, yeah.
04:44So good to see you again.
04:45See you again, Jason.
