00:00So, we are in London. Look at the view. Tower Bridge. How are you feeling to be here?
00:05I'm so happy to be back in London. It's been a minute.
00:08So wonderful. So, Red One is out in cinemas today. Why should UK fans go and see it?
00:13I just think it's a feel-good movie. I mean, it's a holiday movie. It has adventure in it and honestly,
00:19I think we could all use a little bit of entertainment right now and it's got a lot of heart.
00:23I know a lot of people say that during the holidays, but this one is truly unexpected.
00:27It really is. How would you describe your character then?
00:30Zoe Harlow. She is a boss lady and she heads all of the mythological creatures.
00:38So, she's kind of just overseeing all of it and when this happens, when Santa gets kidnapped, she kicks into gear.
00:45Oh, I love that. She knows everything, doesn't she?
00:47She really does, yes.
00:49How did this come around then? What happened when you got the phone call?
00:53Well, I got the call and they sent me the script and I fell in love with the script and then when I met with Jake Kazdin,
00:59who's the director, I adore him. I met Hiram Garcia at Comic-Con and I fell in love with him
01:07and then this whole thing came up and it was just... It's been a thrill of a lifetime, honestly.
01:12Yeah, he is lovely, isn't he?
01:14He is... I can't say enough good things about him.
01:17And let's talk about the cast that you were surrounded with.
01:19Oh, yeah. No Big Deal, DJ, Chris Evans, just another day at the office.
01:25How fun was that?
01:26Oh, I mean, these guys are superstars, so to be paired up with them has been, honestly, something that I did not expect.
01:33So, it's... And of JK Simmons, I mean, Bonnie, Kiernan, I adore them all.
01:40We really created a really wonderful family for this and it's just been... It's so nice to see everybody again.
01:45And three words to describe this film?
01:47Exhilaration. Action-packed. Heartwarming.
