00:00 You look stunning.
00:01 Oh, thank you so much. Thank you.
00:03 What was it like reuniting with Timothy for this film?
00:06 What was it like playing his rival this time?
00:09 And also just being a part of such a massive cast?
00:12 Coming back to working with a friend is always probably,
00:17 it's the thing that you try and do throughout all of your career.
00:21 You always want to go back and work with people that you know you work really well with.
00:24 And then just being able to watch my friend rise to the unbelievable occasion
00:29 of being this quite brilliant lead and becoming,
00:34 not only dealing with playing Paul,
00:37 but also dealing with what it's like to be the actor that is playing Paul
00:40 and meaning so much to so many.
00:42 It was a really, really beautiful experience.
00:44 Of course, also joining the cast was Austin Butler.
00:46 I know he mentioned when he played Elvis, it was kind of hard for him to shake that voice,
00:50 the Elvis voice.
00:51 So I was wondering for you, was there anything about this character
00:53 that was kind of hard to shake after filming?
00:55 No, no. I didn't live with the character like Austin did for a long, long time.
01:01 I think it's expected when you're with someone for a very long time
01:05 that you're going to keep attributes.
01:06 Unfortunately, I wanted to be working in the movie for much longer,
01:09 but I was only able to work for a month.
01:11 Yeah, they wouldn't, I tried, I actually even asked Denis
01:14 if he could write me into one of the desert sequences, and he was like, no.
01:17 Maybe if I'd been on it for longer, I'd be more of a princess by now.
01:21 We would have loved to see that. Any more of you on screen, we'll take.
01:24 Les, thank you so much.
01:25 Well, I heard that you're flying straight to Atlanta after this to start Thunderbolt.
01:29 What is it like stepping back into that character, MCU role, after like a minute away?
01:33 Oh my God, we've been trying to make this movie for years.
01:36 I mean, I remember when Black Widow, when we finished Black Widow,
01:39 they were already starting to talk about where the storyline was going to go.
01:41 And then when Black Widow came out, we were already, you know, ready to start shooting.
01:45 And then we got shut down by SAG and obviously a few years in between that.
01:48 But it's been a movie that we've all been desperate to make for a long time.
01:52 And we finally come together with our fantastic director, Jake.
01:55 And we've got an amazing cast that I'm just like, you know, that world,
01:59 being a part of the Marvel Universe is probably the most supportive family to be involved with.
02:06 And I feel very, very lucky to be a part of it.
02:09 And I feel so excited to get back to work.
02:11 Thanks a lot.
