mamake

0:00 | Superman.

0:02 | Miss Lane,

0:05 | recently you've come under a lot of fire

0:07 | for what some might It's a lot. I

0:10 | stopped a war. In effect, you illegally

0:13 | entered a country. This is how you're

0:15 | going to be. I'm not the one being

0:16 | interviewed, Superman. Rachel, I got to

0:19 | ask you right off the bat. I have not

0:20 | had a chance to interview Skyler yet

0:22 | today. That's later. Who's the better

0:24 | reporter in the newsroom? Is it you or

0:26 | is it Jimmy? Lois or Jimmy or me and

0:30 | Skyler? Very important distinction.

0:31 | Well, go Lois and Jimmy for the sake of

0:33 | the movie. Not even a question, Lois.

0:36 | But in real life, I could listen to

0:38 | Skyler report on the Daily Planet set

0:41 | all day long. It's so fun seeing you all

0:43 | interact at the Daily Planet. Then

0:44 | obviously we have the scene that's

0:45 | already gone viral. The movie hasn't

0:47 | even come out yet where you're

0:48 | interviewing him as Superman. What was

0:50 | y'all's backstory as far as your

0:53 | relationship starting? Was there a meat

0:55 | cute?

0:58 | Very well doumented one. I think we

1:00 | can't tell you that. I think that's uh

1:02 | because we for all we know it might get

1:05 | explored in a in a future film. But we

1:07 | did have I've been saying it. Well, not

1:09 | in specifics. Not too specific, but but

1:12 | so the cool thing is like getting to

1:14 | start in the middle of the relationship.

1:15 | We did get to discuss that with James

1:17 | and talk about possibilities. And I

1:18 | don't think James had really settled on

1:20 | the specifics before we came in. So, we

1:22 | got to talk about it and kind of explore

1:23 | it together, the three of us. They

1:24 | didn't settle with me privately, cuz I'm

1:28 | watching Lois and I'm like, did she fall

1:29 | in love with Superman first or Clark

1:31 | first? I see. I can't wait to see that

1:33 | come out on screen. So, if you've been

1:34 | talking about it and ruining it, my

1:36 | gosh. Sorry. Well, James had thoughts

1:38 | about it. I think I was like, it's got

1:39 | to be more specific for me. Yeah. Yeah.

1:41 | It's important when you're skipping it

1:42 | in the movie to know, you know, what

1:44 | what happened in your mind. Yeah. Maybe

1:46 | we have different ideas of what

1:47 | happened. I would love for us to We

1:48 | probably do have very different ideas.

1:50 | It'd be a fun new game to have you show,

1:51 | right?

1:53 | See how different it is. Bring out the

1:54 | whiteboards. It was so great watching

1:57 | you all have that interview scene

1:58 | because I felt like in the midst of this

2:00 | massive wonderful comic book superhero

2:02 | movie, I got to see a stage play and I'm

2:05 | curious about like the rehearsing of

2:07 | that. Was there a lot of rehearsals for

2:08 | that or was it pretty much we want this

2:10 | to feel raw and sort of unscripted? We

2:13 | want to make it feel authentic. How did

2:14 | you all pull that off as actors? That's

2:16 | a great question. I don't remember. We

2:18 | definitely talked quite a bit about the

2:19 | scene, but I feel like we didn't

2:21 | rehearse it until that first day of

2:22 | shooting, right? We blocked. We had

2:23 | auditioned with that scene, right? But

2:25 | the scene that we auditioned with was

2:28 | although on the page it was the same

2:30 | scene, the setup of the room was comp

2:32 | was completely simplified for the screen

2:34 | test and and the the complexity of the

2:36 | geography of Lois's apartment in the

2:38 | film is part of what keeps the scene

2:40 | interesting as we're moving around it.

2:42 | But I think we had two days to shoot the

2:43 | that that scene. And um and I think as

2:47 | is usual, you start with a blocking

2:50 | rehearsal where you kind of find the

2:52 | scene. It was probably a longer blocking

2:53 | rehearsal than normal cuz it's 10 pages,

2:55 | but we've been talking about it like a

2:56 | stage play. That's kind of what it felt

2:58 | like. The first two days shooting in

2:59 | Atlanta, we shot that scene and it it

3:01 | laid this really sturdy foundation

3:04 | underneath this relationship, underneath

3:06 | these two characters that we got to

3:08 | carry with us. We got to try so much

3:10 | stuff and there was something really

3:12 | wonderful about how intimate it felt in

3:14 | a movie of this scale. You, you know, we

3:17 | all came in with these ideas of what it

3:18 | would feel like to be in a giant action

3:21 | movie superhero blockbuster and suddenly

3:24 | it felt like we were doing a play and

3:25 | that was pretty special fun. David, can

3:28 | you tell me what was your favorite part

3:29 | about your fight with Ultramath? The

3:32 | baseball field was amazing. That was

3:34 | like intense because we were outside in

3:36 | the elements. is hot in those suits. We

3:39 | had Eddie Gggggi and Gabby as well. So,

3:42 | it was all of these different fights

3:44 | going on at the same time. It's so cool

3:45 | to get to have a fight in the movie. It

3:47 | spans so many different locations. We've

3:49 | we've seen a little bit in the on the

3:51 | baseball field, but it's a big fight and

3:53 | it's got many phases. So that was some

3:56 | of the fun of it was getting to keep

3:58 | working through it and and try to build

4:00 | the stakes of it and and play the

4:02 | exhaustion of the of Superman who who

4:04 | sort of has has met his match in this

4:06 | foe and and is really put on the back

4:08 | foot. And that was just a really cool

4:11 | place to shoot a bit of a fight and a

4:13 | bit of a scene as well.

4:28 | I'm on the fence about this, so I need

4:29 | to ask y'all. We're just going to go

4:30 | down the line. Anthony, I want to start

4:32 | with you. Justice Gang, cool name or no?

4:35 | I think it's a cool name. I'm I'm I'm

4:37 | open for whatever. Just happy to be

4:38 | included. Okay, good. Easy loose answer.

4:41 | Isabella, how do you feel saying it? It

4:44 | sounds pretty awesome to me. Okay, well

4:48 | then it's awesome. Nathan, I'm pretty

4:49 | sure I know your answer. My character

4:51 | feels one way about it. I think it's a

4:53 | it sounds a little unofficial. It sounds

4:55 | a little casual. I think it could have

4:57 | more weight to it. Justice Society

4:58 | sounds a little more integral and and

5:01 | and put together. The gang sounds a

5:03 | little rag tag. And this is what I like

5:05 | about it cuz it's not the Justice League

5:07 | International. It's not the the JSI,

5:10 | right? It's the rag tag upstarts who

5:14 | have just been thrown together under a

5:16 | corporate banner. I like the name. Was

5:17 | there any like backstory given to y'all

5:19 | by James or did y'all just show up on

5:21 | set and like, "Hey, how do you think we

5:22 | all kind of came together in this

5:24 | universe?" We got those questions. I

5:25 | don't know. We didn't We didn't really

5:26 | cover that. We didn't really We knew we

5:29 | were under under Lortex umbrella. Yeah,

5:32 | we we had a corporate sponsorship. How

5:34 | did you come to the the Justice game? I

5:36 | was scared to ask. Um

5:40 | I wasn't sure like what I was supposed

5:42 | to already know and so I used never

5:45 | asked. We're trusting the process. This

5:47 | is behind the scenes. We trust We trust

5:49 | the filmmaker. We know he's not going to

5:50 | lead us down a path that, you know, we

5:52 | wouldn't want to go willy-nilly. We know

5:54 | how Metamorpho gets in. Yeah. I just

5:55 | showed up. That's right. And then I had

5:58 | lines kind of like a practicalation.

6:01 | Yeah. Like a practical That's true.

6:03 | Yeah. I mean, Metamorphosis is literally

6:05 | part of your name. What was your

6:07 | favorite shape to sort of shift into?

6:09 | Can I put one in? Yeah, please. I call

6:11 | the I have my own name for this one. I

6:13 | call it tentacular. Tentacular. Yeah. I

6:16 | love that. Love that. For me, I love

6:19 | that name. And I also love Nathan's

6:20 | delivery of the name. Tentacular.

6:24 | It's the word. Yeah. But it's also

6:26 | tentacular. Eddie, you you have so many

6:29 | great lines in this movie and it it's

6:31 | almost like the lines really help inform

6:34 | the audience about your character like

6:35 | right off the bat. Do you still say some

6:37 | of those lines to yourself just to kind

6:39 | of pump you up? I mean, if I had that

6:41 | line, I would say, "I'm damn Mr.

6:43 | Terrific." every morning. I do say that.

6:46 | Uh,

6:47 | I am a blank slate. I don't remember

6:50 | what I say in the movie. I'm going to

6:52 | see it for the first time at the

6:53 | premiere. It'll all come rushing back to

6:55 | me and probably for a couple of weeks

6:56 | I'll know the lines again and then I'll

6:58 | move on to the next job. So, it's like

7:00 | studying for a test where like you just

7:01 | have the short-term memory and then as

7:02 | soon as you're done taking the test,

7:04 | it's out of there. If you do plays and

7:05 | you're doing eight shows a week and

7:06 | you're doing that for an extended period

7:07 | of time, those lines will stay with you

7:09 | for the rest of your life. But movies,

7:11 | it's kind of like one and done. You're

7:12 | with it for a small period of time and

7:14 | then then you're on to the next thing.

7:16 | Yes. Nathan, for you, I'm curious about

7:18 | your character Guy. We'll see more of

7:20 | him in lanterns, but do you know where

7:22 | you rank as far as the lantern

7:25 | hierarchy? If you have an emergency and

7:27 | you need, you know, someone who to come

7:29 | and wield one of the most powerful

7:30 | weapons in the universe, you want to

7:33 | call a Green Lantern. You say, "We need

7:36 | a Green Lantern." But and then they say,

7:38 | "You're going to get Guy Gardner." You'd

7:39 | say, "Ah, crap. of all the lanterns,

7:42 | that's the last one you want. But at the

7:46 | same time, if you're one of the

7:47 | guardians of OA and you need some dirty

7:49 | work done, you go right to Gaia. Hey, we

7:51 | need you to do this thing. It's a little

7:52 | unseamming. He's like, I'll do it. No

7:54 | problem. Mainly with the help of Hawk

7:56 | Girl. Exactly. You save Superman's

7:59 | behind multiple times in this movie.

8:01 | Behind every powerful man is a is more

8:04 | powerful woman with wings. Is that the

8:07 | Is that the same? It's a version of

8:08 | that. Yeah. I don't know. I think Hawk

8:11 | Girl is there and she's reluctant, but I

8:14 | think she has a truth that she has not

8:17 | shown and that's what I like. I like,

8:20 | you know, she's keeping her cars close

8:22 | to her chest. She's sort of a mystery.

8:25 | She's a very different kind of hero.

8:27 | She's a very different kind of hero for

8:29 | sure. I have my theories as to why she

8:32 | is the way that she is, but I also don't

8:35 | kind of want to know. I kind of want

8:36 | James to reveal it to me. But for now, I

8:39 | really, really love her dynamic with the

8:40 | Justice gang.

8:43 | Um, and I love that these two really

8:48 | piss each other off in this movie. It's

8:51 | a beautiful working relationship that

8:53 | that you two have, but really, I mean,

8:54 | watching once Anthony kind of joins a

8:56 | team, all four of you kicking ass on

8:59 | screen, it's almost like you all feel

9:01 | like you could have done this job

9:03 | without Superman. Is that the truth or

9:05 | did we need soups a little bit in this

9:07 | movie? The movie is called Superman.

9:09 | It's called Superman, but who's doing

9:12 | the dirty work? No one approach can get

9:14 | the job done at the end of the day. You

9:16 | need a group of superheroes, a team. A

9:19 | gang, if you will. Gang, if you will.

9:21 | And thank God that we're exploring a

9:22 | universe that's already populated with a

9:24 | bunch of superheroes. Yeah, Superman has

9:25 | a lot of powers. One of them isn't being

9:27 | everywhere at once. That's right. Right.

9:28 | That's right. But he does have the

9:30 | ability to drink the ocean, right?

9:32 | What's the new one? Um, planet. Salty.

9:35 | Yeah. Yes.

9:37 | Super Sodium. We We've been corporatized

9:39 | though, haven't we? We have. Yes,

9:41 | legitimately. You didn't ask that

9:42 | question. What? You didn't ask that

9:44 | question. We are corporate sponsors. We

9:46 | are. No, we are. I did ask that one. I

9:47 | kind of assumed when we were matchy

9:49 | matchy, but yeah, Superman has the

9:51 | freedom, if you will, to to have his own

9:53 | little uh glyph. So, he kind of guides

9:57 | us in this in this journey and inspires

9:59 | us to step out of our comfort zone. And

10:01 | we all do. We all have our own little

10:03 | moment of coming to Jesus and and and

10:05 | saving these people. You know,

10:09 | no matter what you do to me, Luther,

10:13 | your plans will work.

10:17 | Hey, buddy. Eyes up here.

10:22 | James, I love the way you set Superman

10:23 | up in this new movie where he's the

10:26 | Superman that audiences have come to

10:28 | know and love for decades, but this

10:30 | Superman is not perfect and a lot of

10:32 | times he needs help. Why was that

10:34 | important to establish right off the

10:35 | bat? Well, because I wanted a Superman

10:37 | that people could relate to and I

10:38 | wanted, you know, I think one of the

10:40 | things that interested me about telling

10:41 | a Superman movie was to take the

10:43 | Superman that I loved and all the

10:45 | iconography associated with Superman and

10:48 | be completely true to him, but just get

10:50 | to know him a little bit better, like

10:52 | examine his interior life a little bit

10:54 | more. And I think this comes at a time

10:55 | in Superman's life when some things he

10:58 | believes about himself, he finds out

10:59 | aren't true. So, at the heart of this is

11:01 | a personal story. and watching this

11:03 | movie unfold right off the bat. It's it

11:05 | it's a smart thing you do because

11:07 | there's so much information to sort of

11:09 | convey to the audience about what the

11:11 | backstory of all this is and we get a

11:14 | nice little blurb. Why was that

11:16 | information important to convey to the

11:18 | audience? We're entering this whole

11:19 | world and universe of superheroes. I

11:22 | didn't want to have to show him, you

11:24 | know, landing in a rocket ship again. I

11:26 | mean, for the five people on planet

11:28 | Earth who don't know that Superman came

11:31 | from Krypton, I'm sure there's someone

11:33 | that doesn't know that, but I can

11:34 | explain that away with a sentence, but

11:36 | also let people know this is a world

11:38 | that's different than our world. This is

11:40 | an alternate reality where metahumans

11:42 | have existed for a long time, where

11:43 | there's magic and sorcery and and

11:45 | Superman has existed for a few years.

11:48 | So, I don't have to get into all that

11:50 | stupid stuff uh you know, through too

11:54 | much exposition. It's a minutia of it

11:56 | where but I'm sure like we're all fans

11:57 | of this stuff too and we come from that

11:59 | world and so like when you sit down to

12:01 | to to craft a movie like this is the

12:04 | first day is it just so overwhelming

12:06 | like how do I put all this stuff that I

12:08 | love into a movie are you like losing

12:10 | your mind or or did you feel like you

12:12 | know you knew where you wanted to go

12:13 | with this right I knew exactly where I

12:15 | wanted to go and so you know I think

12:17 | that by the time I get to to set most of

12:21 | my work is done you know I've

12:22 | storyboarded every frame of the movie

12:24 | I've gone through the script again and

12:26 | again with people I trust giving me

12:29 | notes and and you know taking them into

12:31 | account. Feel like by the time I get to

12:32 | set I know exactly what is what I'm

12:35 | doing. You know where I'm going next.

12:37 | You know we happen to shoot the

12:38 | beginning of the movie. The first thing

12:40 | we were in Swalbard in Norway and it was

12:42 | shooting the shot of you know David

12:44 | lying in the snow as the camera's coming

12:46 | down and into him. You see the blood in

12:48 | his mouth and he whistles. That was the

12:50 | very very first shot. We got through

12:52 | pretty quickly and I was like so stoked.

12:54 | Yeah, we're ahead already. That's right.

12:57 | Um, he has a lot of help in this movie

12:59 | as I pointed out. A lot of that comes

13:01 | from the Justice Gang. What makes them a

13:04 | Justice gang and how do we get them to a

13:06 | league? Like, what's it mean? You know,

13:07 | we'll have to keep watching DC movies to

13:10 | find that one out. But they certainly

13:12 | aren't a league yet. They are not We

13:14 | don't even think they're a gang. And

13:15 | they're just a disperate group of people

13:17 | that dislike each other working for

13:19 | their corporate master, Maxwell Lord.

13:21 | Yeah. What's the why was it important to

13:23 | establish this justice entity with these

13:27 | core characters first? Because I like

13:29 | those characters cuz I like Hawk Girl

13:31 | and Green Lantern and Mr. Terrific. And

13:33 | so I'm like, I'll put those guys in a

13:35 | movie. I love those characters. So I

13:37 | think it was really about just taking

13:40 | characters that we haven't normally seen

13:42 | on film and putting them in movies. As a

13:44 | fan of both pop and punk music, um, what

13:47 | is it about the Crab Joys? Can you

13:48 | describe to me the Crab Joys and and why

13:51 | they were the perfect band to illustrate

13:53 | Clark's music fandom? Well, the Mighty

13:55 | Crab Joys, you know, a fictional band

13:58 | that uh perform music that is uh like,

14:02 | you know, the really sort of sellout pop

14:04 | punk bands of the very, you know, late

14:07 | 90s, early 2000s, you know, things that

14:10 | I would have scoffed at. Frankly, you're

14:12 | more of a Lois kind of guy. Yeah, but I

14:15 | am Oh, I'm very much more like Lois. I

14:17 | would have like, you know, been like

14:18 | that's not We're not talking about Sex

14:20 | Pistons or Clash here. We're talking

14:21 | about I don't want to put any bands down

14:23 | because honestly, some of those bands

14:25 | I've come to appreciate. I'm much less,

14:27 | you know, judgmental of music than I

14:29 | used to be. I've come to really love all

14:31 | types of music. And there's bad bands

14:33 | out there, but there's also a lot of

14:34 | great bands that play with, you know, in

14:36 | genres that maybe people don't always

14:38 | respect as much. And it's fun to attach

14:40 | something that we associate here with

14:41 | Earth that's like ours with some being

14:44 | like a Superman. That's right. Who

14:45 | himself is a metahuman. Can you describe

14:47 | to me like what a metahuman is in your

14:49 | universe? First of all, I don't think

14:51 | anyone completely agrees on what the

14:53 | term means. Basically, it's it's

14:55 | superhumans. I would not think of Batman

14:58 | as a metahuman, but you know what? Like

15:01 | Mr. Terrific and Lex Luthther are so

15:03 | smart. There might be a genetic anomaly

15:06 | happening with those guys. Lex couldn't

15:08 | possibly be a metahuman. Mr. Terrific

15:10 | because he works with all these other

15:12 | things. You know, you could possibly

15:14 | think that he's a metahuman. I think it

15:15 | really is dependent on who the person is

15:17 | and what they it actually becomes

15:19 | important as we go further in our story

15:21 | in Peacemaker and other places what a

15:23 | metahuman is exactly.

15:29 | Superman,

15:31 | [Music]

15:38 | the most powerful being on planet Earth.

15:42 | Who raised you as a child? I'll kill

15:46 | them, too. It's a thrill to get to talk

15:47 | to y'all. So, I'm so curious as to how

15:49 | much of the backstory of the Day We

15:52 | Planet that James gave you or did you

15:54 | make that up in your head specifically

15:55 | in terms of Superman and how you broke

15:59 | the news that there was this being

16:01 | Superman now on Earth? He gave us great

16:03 | direction on, you know, how we were

16:05 | going to approach it and then we also

16:07 | did our own deep dives. And what happens

16:10 | with that is you find out some curious

16:12 | things in the whole cannon of the

16:14 | Superman world that for me I did not

16:17 | know. And then I used it. It was kind of

16:19 | it's a part of why I'm always grumpy,

16:21 | which is Lex Luthther had an affair with

16:23 | my wife and my second son may be his.

16:27 | And so I thought that was the most uh

16:31 | unique thing I had ever heard about in

16:33 | the Superman world. So that is my

16:35 | driving force in this whole movie. You

16:38 | know, I want to get to Lex Luthther

16:40 | because that's the guy who slept with my

16:42 | wife. We need to get him on Mari. Wow.

16:44 | Oh, that's incredible. Michaela, for

16:47 | you, how did you approach playing this

16:49 | character and and their relationship to

16:51 | Cart Kent in the newsroom? I went back

16:54 | and looked at all the comics and where

16:56 | Cat originated from and what she was

16:58 | about. She came from Hollywood and, you

17:02 | know, had a had a husband and a son and

17:05 | was just over all of it. And I think

17:08 | that Clark for her, you know, in the

17:11 | comic, he's everything that she's ever

17:13 | wanted. He's pure good. He's a little

17:17 | unsure of himself, which I think she

17:18 | loves because she's been around these

17:20 | narcissistic men. Her and Lois are in

17:23 | the comics that kind of go headtohead.

17:25 | Um, but in the movie you don't you don't

17:28 | see much of that. So hopefully there's

17:30 | more to come. Yeah, Clark's so wholesome

17:32 | and good. And Beck, it it's got to be

17:34 | fun to bully Clark Ken in the news just

17:36 | a little bit, right? He's the best. It's

17:39 | always so fun to play a filterless

17:42 | character who just says whatever he

17:43 | wants, especially when they're like

17:45 | things you're not supposed to say, you

17:47 | know? Yeah. Where does that come from

17:48 | for you? Like how did you approach

17:49 | playing that character beyond just like

17:51 | I'm just going to give this guy some

17:52 | guff day in and day out? He is there are

17:55 | so many different iterations of uh of

17:59 | Steve. You know, he started out as like

18:00 | a football player and the first time we

18:02 | see him in the comics, he's like going

18:04 | to the Super Bowl after spending a night

18:06 | with a couple women and saves a baby

18:07 | falling out of a window, breaks his

18:09 | knees, you know, like it's a crazy

18:12 | story. I mean, for me, he was an a great

18:14 | athlete in high school, went to college

18:16 | to try to play, didn't make the team,

18:18 | and he's just kind of he's got this like

18:21 | chip on his shoulder. He's like, he sees

18:23 | himself as an athlete. He sees himself

18:24 | as the cool guy, but he's not really.

18:27 | So, when he sees, you know, this this

18:30 | sort of dorky guy getting all, you know,

18:32 | front page news and being celebrated,

18:34 | he's like, "You suck, dude. You got

18:38 | nothing. Like, you're lame." Like, you

18:39 | know, he just That's where it comes

18:41 | from. He's really like he feels

18:42 | overlooked. And so, uh, that's kind of

18:44 | the backstory that fed into just like

18:46 | letting, you know, letting it rip with,

18:48 | uh, Clark. Yeah. And and and Skyler,

18:50 | it's so fun watching your gym because

18:52 | he's really crafty. He's he's a good

18:54 | reporter. Who's the better reporter in

18:55 | the newsroom between you and Lois? Lois,

18:58 | no question. Okay. And yeah, Rachel, she

19:01 | did the like coming into production, uh

19:04 | she had spent months with real reporters

19:07 | and like learning the tricks of the

19:09 | trade and and had immersed herself in

19:10 | that world. And so she was kind of like

19:12 | the person on the group project who does

19:14 | like 99% of the work. So from day one, I

19:17 | was like, great, I'm following your

19:18 | lead. you tell me what to do. And that

19:21 | kind of is our dynamic in the movie. So,

19:23 | it all worked out. And Wendell, for you,

19:25 | I love seeing your version of Perry. Was

19:28 | there an inspiration beyond just the

19:31 | different iterations of Perry that we've

19:32 | seen before for you playing that

19:34 | character? Since I was a part of this

19:36 | fraternity of a group of very disperate

19:39 | men and actors who have done it, I

19:41 | wanted something that connected us all,

19:43 | you know, and uh that was the cigar, you

19:46 | know. That's the first image you see in

19:48 | the comic. One image that you have in

19:50 | Think of Perry in this movie uh that you

19:52 | would see that cigar and uh and it shows

19:55 | you the times. He's not smoking it cuz

19:57 | you can't smoke in the building. But uh

19:59 | you show his rebellious nature by well I

20:02 | can't smoke it but I'm going to always

20:04 | have it. What did you feel like Perry's

20:05 | biggest concerns were in reporting the

20:08 | news as it relates to Superman

20:10 | specifically? that we wouldn't have any

20:12 | impact that uh some sort of uh uh uh

20:16 | some content creator would get a scoop

20:19 | on us or that some other platform and

20:21 | how can a newspaper still be of great

20:24 | importance and all and my suspicions

20:26 | about this new guy that I brought on

20:28 | Clark Kent are driving me. I think

20:30 | there's I'm suspicious about who he is

20:32 | and the connection there. So, it uh it

20:34 | actually has um added some fuel to the

20:38 | fire and keeping the paper alive. So,

20:40 | for the month this movie takes place,

20:41 | who's employee of the month? Is it

20:43 | somebody I'm looking at, or is it

20:44 | somebody not currently in this room? Not

20:47 | currently in this room is Lois. Lois is

20:51 | she's she's our girl. Yeah, man. She's

20:53 | the one. She's the one.

20:56 | [Music]

20:58 | We finally meet.

21:01 | Now, as planned,

21:07 | I'll destroy you. I'm so curious to talk

21:10 | to you about your powers in this movie

21:12 | because like you know fingers are cool,

21:14 | blades are better. So what was it like

21:17 | on set having that? Like how did that

21:19 | work on set? They had real blades with

21:23 | the actual size that they mine were

21:25 | going to be so I could rehearse because

21:27 | if I had to load up and then do this I

21:30 | would you know decapitate myself. So I

21:32 | needed to rehearse with that so it

21:34 | looked okay and it was safe for engineer

21:36 | to do all of the things. That was really

21:37 | really cool. But more than that, the

21:39 | blades and all of that was like real

21:41 | imagination. But with James, we came up

21:44 | with this kind of language where how

21:46 | does it feel to transform your body in

21:48 | different things? So is it tickling? Is

21:51 | it feel like bees? Is it painful

21:53 | sometimes? So yes, when she connects to

21:56 | the computer for example, it is kind of

21:58 | like an intimate relationship with the

22:00 | machine. She is part machine. So it's

22:02 | kind of like a sexual encounter that

22:04 | she's having. It was really funny on set

22:06 | because the way Nicholas was reacting to

22:08 | it was like, "Oh, oh, that was good."

22:11 | Great. We were like, "Oh, uh, so, um,

22:13 | it's really interesting for me. It was

22:15 | important to like bring it back to my

22:16 | body to to make make it real for me so

22:20 | hopefully it could be real for the

22:21 | audience." That's intense, man. Like,

22:24 | just because watching it, you you're

22:25 | running through every emotion it feels

22:27 | like in that sequence. So, where it goes

22:29 | from like, "Oh, this is enjoyable. I'm

22:30 | gathering information to like I can't

22:32 | handle what's happening." It's a lot

22:33 | because it's alien technology and it's

22:35 | something that she's never encountered

22:37 | before. So, it's interesting. It's

22:39 | exciting, but it's also scary and

22:40 | dangerous. But, you know, that's right

22:42 | up engineers alley.

22:45 | Sarah, for you, Eve. Eve is so sweet. I

22:47 | like Eve so much. Is right.

22:51 | And you know, people are going to be

22:52 | asking this question like all the nice

22:53 | guys out there like, "Well, I'm here.

22:55 | How does she fall for a guy like Lex

22:56 | Luthther?" He looks like Nicholas Holtz

22:59 | for that helps. And then he's obviously

23:02 | a very powerful rich man and I don't

23:05 | think Eve comes from money and I think

23:07 | she likes the lifestyle that he provides

23:10 | for uh for her and also the stability

23:14 | feeling safe because he has all the

23:17 | money to keep her safe until he doesn't

23:22 | like that's the problem with dating

23:23 | super villains until it doesn't until it

23:26 | doesn't. Not a great Instagram

23:27 | boyfriend. You're taking most of those

23:28 | selfies by myself, right? Yes. But hey,

23:31 | it takes me to all these beautiful

23:32 | places. My gram is popping, you know,

23:35 | who's popping. Was there like a meat

23:37 | cute like backstory that y'all had that

23:40 | you and Nick came up with or that James

23:42 | conveyed to you as far as like how y'all

23:44 | actually like got together? It wasn't

23:46 | really necessary. I created, but

23:48 | whatever to give me my intentions with

23:50 | the character. We don't really get to

23:52 | explore much of our relationship in the

23:55 | movie. Was it a dating app? fully in the

23:57 | dating. That would be a twist. He could

23:59 | have been on the high one of the higher

24:01 | end ones, right? Yeah, we probably met

24:03 | at some party and he wo me if I was to

24:07 | guess. That's fair. Yeah, he's in the

24:08 | background. One of your selfies

24:10 | probably. Like, who's I'll tag him. Um

24:13 | Angela, for you, what's it like fighting

24:15 | with Superman? Like, what are you going

24:16 | to take from that battle decades from

24:18 | now? You look back, what are you going

24:20 | to say? It was dreamy. No, I'm not only

24:23 | fighting Superman, I'm beating his ass.

24:25 | You're kicking some ass in here. Really?

24:27 | And I feel like that's the thing that I

24:29 | love the most about my character that it

24:31 | truly is a formidable foe for Superman

24:34 | because he's so powerful. He's the most

24:36 | powerful man on the planet. But then

24:38 | Angela is also pretty undestructible and

24:40 | she can can become anything she wants.

24:43 | So, it was a really interesting match

24:45 | with Superman and David. We had this

24:47 | really crazy and challenging stunt that

24:50 | we were sliding and then we have like

24:51 | turn he turned over me and it was very

24:55 | difficult and we rehearsed for months

24:56 | and when we were on set it was raining

24:58 | and I remember asking David like hey

25:00 | David what do you need from me to make

25:02 | this happen and he's like just let it

25:05 | wash over you it'll happen trust me he's

25:08 | not normal he is Superman so yeah no it

25:11 | was the best I'm going to I'm going to

25:13 | take with me that it was one of the most

25:15 | fun experienc experiences of my life.

25:17 | Y'all both serve such an important

25:19 | purpose in this movie because like

25:20 | you're one of the badass villains who's

25:22 | taken it to Superman. And for you, Eve

25:25 | is one of the primary sources of comic

25:27 | relief. So, how did you feel on set?

25:29 | Like, how far to take it? Because

25:31 | there's so much serious stuff going on

25:33 | in this film. How are you able to make

25:34 | the comedy like hit so note perfect like

25:37 | you did? Well, well, it started with a

25:39 | brilliant script from James. you know,

25:41 | he's the best at what he does and the

25:44 | script already had everything there. I

25:46 | didn't have to do much. But on set then

25:49 | James just gives you so much freedom and

25:51 | he's just always with his microphone and

25:53 | be like you remember he thinks of a joke

25:56 | and be like now say this and and then

25:58 | you say and then you can hear him laugh

26:00 | and it's just like that collaborative.

26:02 | You kind of do a few takes just as a

26:04 | page and then he he just makes you try

26:07 | different things. try different things

26:08 | and you know uh one of the scenes like

26:11 | we just really kept going for like 10

26:13 | minutes and just fun and you just kind

26:16 | of he gives you that kind of freedom but

26:19 | but because he gives you such good bones

26:21 | from the script it's just just makes

26:23 | your life easy. And lastly just for both

26:26 | y'all real quick what do you love most

26:28 | about this version of Superman? That it

26:31 | has a lot of heart. When I when I watch

26:34 | the movie, at the end of it, I told

26:35 | James, it makes me feel hope for

26:38 | humanity. It makes me feel because, you

26:39 | know, oh, humans are the worst. But when

26:42 | I watch the movie, I go, we are

26:44 | inherently good and we need to tap into

26:46 | that and it's there and I can see and I

26:48 | can feel it. So, when I see this movie,

26:51 | I'm ready to take action in my life and

26:53 | and go out and be a better person. So,

26:55 | and that's not easy to do because he's

26:58 | also not preaching while he's, you know,

27:00 | when we watch the movie. and it's fun.

27:03 | So, I think it's such a good movie.

27:06 | Yeah, I think everything that she said

27:08 | and also it I love the fact that it just

27:11 | feels like a comic book put into the

27:14 | screen and and I just love the colors

27:17 | and I just love that it's like light but

27:20 | it has heart, it has humor without

27:22 | losing its um uh foundation. And I

27:26 | remember when I start like this feels

27:28 | like I'm watching a comic book which is

27:33 | like yeah that was the thing that I
