Does that make it more exciting when you get to play, like, characters becoming superheroes?

Yeah, I think so.

you know, especially with these characters, the powers that they get, you know, really is kind of a reflection of who they were beforehand.

Johnny's got, you know, the temper.

Sue's kind of, she's a little more, you know, introverted, very, you know, studious.

Ben kind of has a hard exterior because of the way that he was raised.

And then for Reed, we're trying to think of him.

Now, any perks so far for being in a big Marvel movie like this?

I'm changing the, so-

Do you wanna hear a f- Okay.

No, go.

Yeah, go There is a woman who has- Yeah ... two vaginas- Yeah ... that's on TikTok.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Uh, she sent a DM the other day to me the other day.

How many DMs did she send? One of each, one for me? [laughs] Dude, dude.

There was no join from my mouth to my stomach, and that instead my food pipe was connected into my air pipe going into my lungs.

It really does.

And James wouldn't be afraid to, if a scene wasn't necessarily working, he would say, it's not your guy's fault.

It's the writer's.

just James, of course.

And then he would sit and tinker with it a little bit, but yeah, I mean, we certainly weren't, I mean, we, we didn't have a ton of, uh, setups every day.

It was probably the least amount of setups I think I've ever had on a, on a film.

Um, yeah, James is, he's, he's very available and there's elements of this story that are, you know, autobiographical in James's words and, um, He's just a really lovely, articulate person who really does love movies as much as anybody that I've ever met.

Quick follow-up before we do the last question, which is to ask if you had similar conversations about the background of your character based in classic literature or...

clown with swagger.

Yeah, class clown with swagger, baby.

But yeah, I just remember getting like a laugh on stage and feeling like without really, in my mind, putting a ton of kind of effort into this thing.

It seemed like a natural fit.

Whereas music, I was always good at music, but I had to try really, I really had to put a ton of hours into it.

And sports, I was always good.

But again, I had to like really grind.

And you were really close with your grandparents.

The ice pack.

... he's very still in that world.

Uh, the best.

Oh my God.

Eternity.

I don't ...

I never know how to, like, sum this up.

Nice.

Were you guys able to go in and get stuff out, or what was that like?

No.

I mean, so...

Like, when the fire, when the fire started, like, we could see it start from... 'Cause in that area, Via De La Paz, you kinda...

You have a good vantage point.

You got some, uh, some altitude too.

So we could see, like, where the fire started, and I'll say it was probably about three and a half, four miles maybe, uh, at our 12 o'clock.

What's the reality of that?
