00:00Joe, hello. I'm Lucy. Can I just say, high five for making it into the MCU, baby.
00:06Unbelievable, from Heartstop to this.
00:07Yeah.
00:08Is this part of Little Joe Jumped Off?
00:09Very much so. This is like Little Joe Jumped Off but never thought would ever happen, so
00:13for it to be real, it's very, very surreal.
00:16How did you launch the news to your mates? Was there like a WhatsApp with some superhero
00:19emojis in it? What happened?
00:20There was a lot of FaceTime calls and, yeah, they told me not to tell anyone, so obviously
00:25I told all my friends straight away. Because, you know, you can't keep that thing a secret.
00:30I needed to... I was like, if I'm going to keep all these Marvel secrets from now on,
00:33I'm at least going to tell people I'm in it.
00:35Did you ask any other superhero in the Marvel Universe how to keep secrets? Maybe not Tom
00:39Holland because he was rubbish at it.
00:40No, I... Catherine was a good person to learn from. She's very good at it and you can tell
00:46that she's had the experience now, so yeah, it's very helpful to have her help.
00:50So where's the best place you've seen your face, like team's face so far? Any kind of
00:54merch?
00:55I... Ooh. I've not seen any merch yet, actually. I've not seen any at all. If there's some
00:59out there, I'd love to see it.
01:00I've got a WandaVision tray at home, so I can make it onto a tray.
01:03Oh, wow. I'd love to be on a tray. I want to have like some teen Mickey ears one day.
01:08That would be cool.
01:09Yes!
01:10There's some great Agatha ones, I think, coming out.
01:11Okay. We'll get to it. We'll get to it.
01:13Yeah.
01:14And in regards to this, was it everything you thought it would be in regards to team
01:17and did you make it your own?
01:19Yeah, I mean, the cast is so amazing and they're all such incredible actresses and it was just
01:24like a dream come true to get to spend 12 hours a day with them for six months.
01:27Did you have any Oh My God moments?
01:29So many. Every day was an Oh My God. There was at least one. Even every time Patti LuPone
01:33would open her mouth was an Oh My God moment.
01:35And how did you keep your cool? Because I would have taken everything to get signed.
01:38I mean, I very much had to like keep it grounded and try and not geek out.
01:46I hope you're on WhatsApp.
01:47We have a group chat, yeah.
01:48Yes!
01:49Yeah, we do.
01:50And in regards to what you want to happen next, are we going to get your own show?
01:54I mean, I would never say no to doing anything Marvel again. It was the best experience and
01:57I would come back in a heartbeat.
01:59And are we calling you superhero or supervillain?
02:02We'll have to watch and find out.
02:03Okay. And what was the best lie you told your mates?
02:07Um, ooh. I don't think I did tell any lies. I think I just didn't tell people things,
02:14but I also told my mates far too much. Like far more than I should have.
02:19I love that. Mr Elusive. Thank you so much. Enjoy every moment of tonight.
02:23Cheers.
02:24Thanks.
