I have to say I'm so glad to see you here tonight.
We had one of the most harrowing moments with Wanda and Vision at the end of Infinity War.
I'm so curious, what was it like working with Paul Bettany to find that moment?
He and I have had the greatest time just working on every single thing we've gotten to do in the
Marvel land. And that day specifically between Paul, Brolin, and I, it was just such a fun day.
The Russo brothers let us improvise a bit as well. And it was an awesome day at work.
It was really fun. And it was really with the best people you could work with.
When you get cast in a superhero movie, you're thinking CGI, you're thinking superpowers,
you're not necessarily thinking real emotion. But throughout the course of your time at the MCU,
you've had some incredibly emotional moments and personal loss. Did you know that going into it?
Yeah, I mean, she is notorious for having really bad things happen to her. She's the ultimate
survivor. And that's the only thing I can think of her. Her power, I think, comes from her huge
amount of empathy as well, and her ability to feel and care and love. But so do all these characters.
But it's funny being always the sad girl. I don't get all the funny bits.
She might have some very sad moments, but we get to go on that roller coaster ride with her.
She's also like, kind of a sick badass. I mean, come on now. As far as the stunts go,
you've gotten to do some pretty cool stuff. Is there one that was your favorite in your time?
I love every time they put me on the wires to fly or to get whipped by get hit by something.
I love being on a ratchet. I love being in a harness and flying around. It's my
it's so fun and exhilarating. I don't like roller coasters. And this is my controlled
adrenaline rush. Did you have to do any special training beforehand in terms of working out or
change a diet or anything like that? I do it just for fun. They don't really
require us to do any of that. They just assume that we'll figure it out, whatever works for us
in the character, which is really nice because you hear other things from other companies. But
Marvel never asked those things of you. But I love training. I work with the dance choreographer
for Scarlet, which is choreography. And so we now have a really easy language physically together.
And we I got to work more with the stunt team this time around. And that was really fun doing
getting to do that prep work and and also prepping for flying and all that.
