00:00:00.195 --> 00:00:02.805
- I've said this many times,
but I think we have one

2
00:00:02.805 --> 00:00:06.225
of the best tags in MCU history.

3
00:00:06.225 --> 00:00:11.225
So, so I think where we, where
we leave all these characters

4
00:00:11.865 --> 00:00:13.865
is really exciting and it really points

5
00:00:13.865 --> 00:00:16.045
to what's next in a way
that I, that I love.

6
00:00:16.905 --> 00:00:20.145
And I think, I think fans

7
00:00:20.145 --> 00:00:21.595
of the MCU were really gonna enjoy that.

8
00:00:21.595 --> 00:00:23.605
- What were your touchstones
that you were excited to kind

9
00:00:23.605 --> 00:00:24.735
of like tap into

10
00:00:24.735 --> 00:00:26.385
- Again, like family as a theme

11
00:00:26.385 --> 00:00:28.925
and I really wanted to ground
the film emotionally inside

12
00:00:28.925 --> 00:00:30.505
of that framework.

13
00:00:30.505 --> 00:00:33.545
So the Kahn family is a
huge, like, part of the movie

14
00:00:33.545 --> 00:00:36.585
and they are sort of a
representation of what Monica

15
00:00:36.585 --> 00:00:39.025
and Carol could have had
or what they once had.

16
00:00:39.025 --> 00:00:41.165
And, and also again,
how important family is.

17
00:00:41.165 --> 00:00:42.165
Like, especially for Kamala.

18
00:00:42.165 --> 00:00:43.765
Like she's able to do
everything she can do

19
00:00:43.765 --> 00:00:45.825
because her family supports
her a hundred percent.

20
00:00:45.825 --> 00:00:50.165
And that's so important.
And so that was a big thing

21
00:00:50.165 --> 00:00:51.925
for me coming into the
film, pitching for the film.

22
00:00:51.925 --> 00:00:54.065
I was like, okay, how can
we make this about family?

23
00:00:54.065 --> 00:00:55.825
Not just with the Khan family and Kamala,

24
00:00:55.825 --> 00:00:58.205
but also with the three
women being a kind of family,

25
00:00:58.205 --> 00:00:59.905
being a sort of a trio of sisters

26
00:00:59.905 --> 00:01:01.805
who find each other throughout the film.

27
00:01:01.805 --> 00:01:04.765
- I think it's really cool
how the film really, you know,

28
00:01:04.765 --> 00:01:08.605
in the opening establishes that
Monica is more nervous about

29
00:01:09.755 --> 00:01:10.765
reuniting with Carol.

30
00:01:10.765 --> 00:01:13.965
Whereas, you know, Kamala is
very excited to meet her hero.

31
00:01:14.885 --> 00:01:16.925
What were your conversations
with Brie like?

32
00:01:16.925 --> 00:01:19.385
- I think, so Brie was so excited

33
00:01:19.385 --> 00:01:21.525
and a real advocate for

34
00:01:21.525 --> 00:01:24.025
bringing the two other
women into the movie.

35
00:01:24.025 --> 00:01:25.325
And part of what I think works

36
00:01:25.325 --> 00:01:26.685
so well about it is that she has a foil.

37
00:01:26.685 --> 00:01:29.405
She finally has people who
are, you know, heroes as well.

38
00:01:29.405 --> 00:01:31.745
And also having their own
issues and issues with her or,

39
00:01:31.745 --> 00:01:34.545
or specific relationship with
her that she has to sort out.

40
00:01:34.545 --> 00:01:36.985
And so we talked a lot
about like that dynamic,

41
00:01:36.985 --> 00:01:39.445
but also who she was
when she is not punching

42
00:01:39.445 --> 00:01:41.205
that nose and running off, you know.

43
00:01:41.205 --> 00:01:42.885
And so the conversations
were really just like,

44
00:01:42.885 --> 00:01:44.065
okay, like who is she?

45
00:01:44.065 --> 00:01:46.635
How can, how, how can her struggle

46
00:01:46.635 --> 00:01:48.205
holding the universe on her shoulders?

47
00:01:48.205 --> 00:01:51.225
Shoulders be something
that can feel universal.

48
00:01:51.225 --> 00:01:52.405
And for me, I think that a lot

49
00:01:52.405 --> 00:01:54.335
of women feel like they're
holding the world, their family,

50
00:01:54.335 --> 00:01:56.665
their job, everything
on their shoulders and,

51
00:01:56.665 --> 00:01:58.925
and the thing that I think
a lot come back to is

52
00:01:58.925 --> 00:02:01.515
how important family is to
helping them get through

53
00:02:01.515 --> 00:02:04.585
that kind of, that kind
of burden, I guess.

54
00:02:04.585 --> 00:02:06.525
And so that's a big theme in the movie

55
00:02:06.525 --> 00:02:07.965
and that's something that Brian
and I talked about as well.
