  59. 2:14great.
  60. 2:15>> Shall we talk to our lovely, beautiful
  61. 2:16friends in the audience?
  62. 2:18>> Sure.
  63. 2:18>> All right. We're going to start right
  64. 2:19here in the middle cuz Barbara go No,
  65. 2:21it's Catwoman or Batgirl. Cow woman
  66. 2:23because Selena Kyle jumped up real fast.
  67. 2:25Please tell me what is your name? Where
  68. 2:28are you from? And why does this deserve
  69. 2:31to be the first question?
  70. 2:33Okay. Hi, my name is Kayla. I'm from
  71. 2:36here Miami. U my question for you guys
  72. 2:39is do you have a favorite action
  73. 2:42sequence or emotional scene that you've
  74. 2:44done in either your perspective shows or
  75. 2:46on the defenders?
  76. 2:48>> Great question.
  77. 2:50We had so many great action sequences on
  78. 2:53the defenders and that was fun because
  79. 2:56we split the workload and it was kind of
  80. 2:59like social hour. We were always just
  81. 3:01like
  82. 3:02>> knitting,
  83. 3:02>> you know, knitting. I was knitting and
  84. 3:05and so was Charlie. He's not here to
  85. 3:07defend himself, but I will tell you he
  86. 3:08was knitting. And we had really big long
  87. 3:11fight sequences with multiple beats and
  88. 3:14and that was really fun to learn. It's
  89. 3:16kind of like a dance class.
  90. 3:18>> Yeah. Yeah. My my favorite fight
  91. 3:20sequences were our first fight sequence
  92. 3:23in in Luke's bar.
  93. 3:25>> Yeah, I was going to say that one, too.
  94. 3:26>> Yeah, that was my favorite. It's like
  95. 3:27the initial like way to bond. It's like
  96. 3:29all a sudden we're fighting and it just
  97. 3:32was a this is the first time we actually
  98. 3:33got a chance to use our powers. SJ
  99. 3:35directed that episode and we just
  100. 3:36figured out the characters, how they
  101. 3:38fight and just it just was a first time
  102. 3:40and it felt really cool and I look back
  103. 3:42at that as a a seminal moment like and
  104. 3:44then the next my other favorite two are
  105. 3:47obviously all of us fighting together in
  106. 3:49the
  107. 3:50>> Oh yeah, that one
  108. 3:51>> in the office and it's just a big
  109. 3:53choreographed scene and things happen.
  110. 3:55People are coming through the wall and
  111. 3:56it's the camera and we're moving. It's
  112. 3:57just a lot going on. That was cool. And
  113. 3:59then ob the other one obviously is me
  114. 4:01and Finn when he came to to Luke Cage
  115. 4:03for an episode and we had a really cool
  116. 4:05fight sequence in the warehouse and that
  117. 4:07was really awesome too.
  118. 4:08>> Yeah. I think mine was the warehouse.
  119. 4:09That was a really great one. And then
  120. 4:11the boardroom when we were two of us.
  121. 4:14>> Oh the I thought that
  122. 4:15>> Yeah, the boardroom.
  123. 4:16>> Oh yeah, the boardroom cuz then we had
  124. 4:18the hallway flight.
  125. 4:19>> That's what I mean. That was the four of
  126. 4:20us and then we Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
  127. 4:21>> That one where we came out of the
  128. 4:23elevator in the white and you're like on
  129. 4:24the other side of
  130. 4:25>> Yeah. I'm like hiding behind you and
  131. 4:27using you as a a shield.
  132. 4:28>> Shield. Yeah, but that's conveniently.
  133. 4:30It's always convenient that I'm, you
  134. 4:31know, a guy who's bulletproof. That's
  135. 4:33what we do.
  136. 4:36>> Thank you so much for your question and
  137. 4:37for being brave enough to ask first.
  138. 4:39Thank you guys.
  139. 4:41Over to this side. Hi, what is your
  140. 4:43name? Where are you from? And what is
  141. 4:44your question?
  142. 4:45>> Hi, my name is Brandon and I'm from
  143. 4:47Miami. The question for all of you is
  144. 4:49it's been 10 years both in universe and
  145. 4:52out since the defenders ended. So, how
  146. 4:55do you feel that your characters have
  147. 4:56evolved during that time span?
  148. 5:00We've had kids.
  149. 5:02>> Yeah. Well, we do, but
  150. 5:04>> yeah, some of us,
  151. 5:06>> you know, it's wild. It's kind of It's
  152. 5:08such a unique, rare experience to play a
  153. 5:11character for so long. Um, you know, we
  154. 5:14did Jessica Jones and the Defenders over
  155. 5:16the course of like 5 years and then
  156. 5:18coming back to Daredevil Born Again. Um,
  157. 5:22getting to play a character for like
  158. 5:24six, seven seasons of a show is just so
  159. 5:28rare and sometimes it feels like no time
  160. 5:30has passed and sometimes it feels like
  161. 5:33we've been doing it forever and what a
  162. 5:35gift. And um, it's just such a privilege
  163. 5:37and it's so fun when these characters
  164. 5:39are so deep in yourselves. You always
  165. 5:41can find opportunities to discover more
  166. 5:43and dig deeper and and that's such a
  167. 5:45gift
  168. 5:47>> and getting to see all you guys for all
  169. 5:48of this time.
  170. 5:52Yeah, it's it's really wonderful to play
  171. 5:53a character for 10 years and then to
  172. 5:55take a break in between and to imagine
  173. 5:58like what's that character been going
  174. 5:59through for those times that he hasn't
  175. 6:01been on screen. And I think uh if I can
  176. 6:04just speak to Danny like the last time
  177. 6:06we saw him, he was going off to Asia to
  178. 6:08go on a kind of quest to discover
  179. 6:10himself. And so for personally, there's
  180. 6:13a lot of room for growth. And in my own
  181. 6:15imagination, I've been having fun with
  182. 6:18thinking about all the places he's
  183. 6:19traveled and all the things that he's
  184. 6:20done along the way. And it's um it's
  185. 6:22really rewarding as an actor and as an
  186. 6:24artist to play a character for this long
  187. 6:25and to bring a lot of your own personal
  188. 6:27growth and wisdom and experience and age
  189. 6:31back into the character um you know 10
  190. 6:35years later. It's it's cool.
  191. 6:37>> Yeah. Was there all of us answering this
  192. 6:41question?
  193. 6:41>> The same for your question.
  194. 6:43>> Yeah. No, I think I I said had kids. I
  195. 6:46think I I said it. I said on screen and
  196. 6:49offscreen, we've had children now. So
  197. 6:50that's right. That's the That's the full
  198. 6:52journey.
  199. 6:53>> Thank you so much for your question in
  200. 6:56the middle here. Hi. What is your name?
  201. 6:58Where are you from?
  202. 6:58>> Deborah. I'm from Orlando. My question
  203. 7:01is for Mike. So it's been 10 years. You
  204. 7:04Luke Cage always had a complicated
  205. 7:06relationship with family. His father,
  206. 7:08brother, cousin. Do you think his
  207. 7:10perspective has changed now that he's a
  208. 7:11dad?
  209. 7:13Uh yeah, I mean I guess either one of
  210. 7:15two things are going to happen. Either
  211. 7:16he's going to be the father that he wish
  212. 7:19he had or something like that and be a
  213. 7:21better version of of a father and
  214. 7:25remember why how he felt as a child or
  215. 7:27he's just going to repeat patterns of
  216. 7:29the family trauma. And uh we'll have to
  217. 7:31see. I mean, you know, it's uh yeah,
  218. 7:33it's interesting. We'll see. We'll see
  219. 7:35if he's any better at fatherhood.
  220. 7:38>> Thank you so much. Hello. What is your
  221. 7:41name? Where are you from and what is
  222. 7:43your question?
  223. 7:44>> Hi, I'm Catherine. I'm from Orlando. I
  224. 7:47kind of wanted to ask a silly question.
  225. 7:49>> Do it.
  226. 7:50>> Um, if your characters had to work a
  227. 7:52regular 9 to 5 job, which job would be
  228. 7:55would they be like the worst in
  229. 7:57>> the worst?
  230. 7:58>> Yeah,
  231. 7:58>> that's good. Worst. That's a good one.
  232. 8:01>> Anything like for Jessica would be very
  233. 8:04bad at any kind of customer service.
  234. 8:07>> Yeah.
  235. 8:08>> Any kind of forward- facing public. She
  236. 8:10would not do well with that.
  237. 8:13>> I would love to see it though.
  238. 8:15>> Funny you would see JJ working at a
  239. 8:16retail store. I don't think so.
  240. 8:20>> I think Danny would be really bad
  241. 8:22probably working somewhere in Wall
  242. 8:25Street or something where he has to be
  243. 8:28uh kind of like a liar or
  244. 8:30>> a suit.
  245. 8:31>> Yeah, a suit. I I think he'd be terrible
  246. 8:33with that. He's far too honest and he's
  247. 8:34far too chill to kind of play that game.
  248. 8:37>> So like a salesman. He'd be terrible as
  249. 8:39a salesman. Terrible. He wouldn't want
  250. 8:42to sell anything to anyone. He'd just
  251. 8:44want to give it away.
  252. 8:45>> That's right. Give it away. Okay, I'm
  253. 8:47not going to sing that song. Um, give it
  254. 8:49away. Give it away. I could that comes
  255. 8:50in my head. Can't help it. Um, so I
  256. 8:54would um I think oddly enough
  257. 8:57though Luke Cage is associated with like
  258. 9:00um you know coffee and you know you know
  259. 9:02get having coffee. I think Luke would be
  260. 9:04a terrible barista.
  261. 9:07>> Terrible barista. I would be a terrible
  262. 9:08barista. I I have a coffee machine,
  263. 9:11multiple coffee machines. One of them
  264. 9:13has not even been used, but I I have it.
  265. 9:14It's nice. Beautiful machine. And um I
  266. 9:18still go to the coffee shop and I like
  267. 9:20baristas because they know what they're
  268. 9:21doing and they make their cute little
  269. 9:22foam and I can't do that. And I don't
  270. 9:24have the patience and I see lines and it
  271. 9:26gives me anxiety and I think to myself,
  272. 9:28"Oh my god, this would be hell to have
  273. 9:30like a 100 people." Like imagine 100
  274. 9:32people standing in line with all
  275. 9:33different orders, different temperatures
  276. 9:35and you can't leave and you can't go to
  277. 9:37the bathroom and you're like that's like
  278. 9:38hell to me. Like I just making coffee
  279. 9:40cups are mounting up. I don't know how
  280. 9:42baristas do it. So shout out to all
  281. 9:44those baristas out there who are doing
  282. 9:46it day in and day out making it look
  283. 9:48cool making it look effortless and just
  284. 9:50sort of vi have a vibe. I mean I you
  285. 9:52guys are killing it. 5 in the morning

  287. 9:55a zone cranking them out. lattes, flat

  337. 11:41be at Comic-Con or we just randomly find

  378. 12:58did not think you were a fan of me. I
  379. 12:59just looking at you going,
  380. 13:00>> "All right, so this is kind of a funny
  381. 13:02question, but Luke Cage, tell me I know
  382. 13:05you're you're a big guy already, but
  383. 13:06tell me, are you going to get on that
  384. 13:08Chris Evans or Hugh Jackman diet and get
  385. 13:10jacked up and put on 30 lbs of muscle?"
  386. 13:12>> Look, I I I like playing other
  387. 13:14characters in Luke Cage, so I like to
  388. 13:16reserve the idea that you I'm not doing
  389. 13:18that. And I'm not injecting the drug.
  390. 13:19I'm not doing the drug thing right now.
  391. 13:20Not yet anyway. So I'm not I'm not doing
  392. 13:23the what is the stuff the Treny and the
  393. 13:26what the peptides and No, I'm not doing
  394. 13:29any of that stuff right now.
  395. 13:30>> Okay.
  396. 13:30>> He's running on
  397. 13:33>> I'm working on a legal show right now.
  398. 13:34I'm playing a lawyer. So I'm not going
  399. 13:36to get too beef.
  400. 13:38>> Hi friend. What is your name? Where are
  401. 13:40you from? And what is your question?
  402. 13:41>> Hi, I'm Chris. I'm from Jacksonville.
  403. 13:44And what and I love what I love about
  404. 13:46the MCU. I love when they do the
  405. 13:47crossovers like they bring other
  406. 13:48people's characters together which is
  407. 13:50like why I love the defenders end.
  408. 13:52Recently we saw Charlie Cox with
  409. 13:54Daredevil. He got to interact with
  410. 13:55Spider-Man and She-Hulkoff. So my
  411. 13:58question to you is like what character
  412. 14:00in the MCU do you wish that you could
  413. 14:02have the chance to your character could
  414. 14:04interact with? What would you what would
  415. 14:05what would do you wish you could see
  416. 14:09>> as we're here writing fanfiction?
  417. 14:12>> I was going to answer it. Um, I always
  418. 14:14say Spider-Man just because he's Queens
  419. 14:16and I just feel like, you know, I've
  420. 14:17seen the comic books where they already
  421. 14:18were together. I mean, I mean, Hulk
  422. 14:21would be fun, but Hulk doesn't really
  423. 14:22have much conversation, you know? He
  424. 14:23just sort of like, you know, you know,
  425. 14:25so I don't know.
  426. 14:27>> I heard everyone who just like, well,
  427. 14:28he's smart Hulk now.
  428. 14:30>> What?
  429. 14:31>> He's smart Hulk now, so he string a
  430. 14:33sentence.
  431. 14:33>> That sounds like a dig. You guys still
  432. 14:34mad at him being smart? Is that what it
  433. 14:36is? I mean, I'm I'm not going to lie. I
  434. 14:38mean, I I was they didn't have him
  435. 14:40around for Thanos, so I was like, what?
  436. 14:41No. And I I just still don't buy that
  437. 14:43Thyos beat him. I'm sorry. I don't care.
  438. 14:45I don't care what you say. You keep
  439. 14:47beating the Hulk. Hulk gets madder. And
  440. 14:48I'm sorry. You can't stop him. And the
  441. 14:50Hulkbuster suit, boo. I don't want to
  442. 14:52see that either. I don't want There's no
  443. 14:53such thing a Hulkbuster suit. Stop it.
  444. 14:57>> I'm not too sure. I know that there's a
  445. 14:59lot of crossover with Shangi and Iron
  446. 15:01Fist in the comic books.
  447. 15:04>> I I think that would be kind of cool,
  448. 15:06you know, to kind of We We've seen Danny
  449. 15:08a lot in the kind of street level New
  450. 15:10York City world. I think it would be
  451. 15:12kind of cool to see him go a bit
  452. 15:14mystical, go into some other realms, uh,
  453. 15:16become a bit more powerful, uh, maybe
  454. 15:19fight Shangi a little bit. I think that
  455. 15:21would be a nice direction.
  456. 15:25>> Thank you so much for your question.
  457. 15:27>> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think I love
  458. 15:29Jessica. I think she's so badass that we
  459. 15:31could throw her in with anybody and and
  460. 15:33we'd be in for a treat. Um, yeah. I
  461. 15:36Wherever Jessica could show up, I would
  462. 15:38be stoked.

  473. 15:56can literally create practically another
  474. 15:59entire universe inside of the MCU and
  475. 16:01then bring it into it. Amazing. Thank
  476. 16:03you guys so much for what you do. I I
  477. 16:04love it. Um anyways, I have a silly
  478. 16:07question. Uh, I'm a big wrestling fan,
  479. 16:10like I said. What would uh
  480. 16:12>> Can't take it anymore.
  481. 16:14>> Would you guys have a WWE wrestler that
  482. 16:17you would like absolutely love to fight
  483. 16:20in your um characters?
  484. 16:21>> Oh, that's cool. Maybe the Hardy Boys.
  485. 16:25>> Yeah, I'm like old school.
  486. 16:27>> Oh, I'm going to go old school. I'm
  487. 16:28going to go Legion of Doom then.
  488. 16:30>> Yeah. Remember the the intro music for
  489. 16:33Legion of Doom?
  490. 16:36Oh, that was the demolition. No,
  491. 16:37remember the demolition boys? That was
  492. 16:38good, too. I was even brighter.
  493. 16:40>> What's going on?
  494. 16:42>> Was that someone being funny or did
  495. 16:44>> Luckily, we still have these big guys.
  496. 16:46>> Wow.
  497. 16:48>> I thought you were I thought like the
  498. 16:50DJs were giving us a wrestling intro.
  499. 16:52>> Oh, that was
  500. 16:56dude.
  501. 16:56>> That was that was a good song.
  502. 16:58>> And you were just going to
  503. 16:58>> Ultimate Warriors. Yeah, Ultimate
  504. 17:00Warrior was good.
  505. 17:02>> Wrestlemania.
  506. 17:02>> Thank you so much for your question. In
  507. 17:04the meantime, please get back to your
  508. 17:06seats safely. Hi, what is your name?
  509. 17:09Where are you from? And what is your
  510. 17:10question?
  511. 17:11>> Hi, my name is Mariah. I'm from
  512. 17:12Hollywood, Florida.
  513. 17:14>> Um, so my question is, we heard a lot
  514. 17:16about you guys bringing your own spin,
  515. 17:18your own personal lifestyle into your
  516. 17:21character. Is there any part of your
  517. 17:23character that you took with you, good
  518. 17:25or bad, that you still hold a piece of
  519. 17:28to this day? Well, Jessica has super
  520. 17:31strength and whenever we do fight
  521. 17:32sequences, the stunt performers are on
  522. 17:34wires and they go flying and it has
  523. 17:36given me this false sense of like how
  524. 17:39strong I am and um I've taken that with
  525. 17:42me into my life and I believe that I am
  526. 17:44super strength.
  527. 17:47Uh, I think one of the things I love
  528. 17:48about Danny the most is that even in the
  529. 17:50face of adversity, he's always able to
  530. 17:52find some level of resilience and to
  531. 17:55always see uh the kind of best in people
  532. 17:58and the best in himself. And I I really
  533. 18:00love that quality of the character and
  534. 18:02that's something I've definitely kept
  535. 18:03with me uh for all of these years.
  536. 18:07>> Um, I take Luke Luke's ability to go to
  537. 18:10the front of the line in most clubs and
  538. 18:12just get in.
  539. 18:14It's a superpower. Yeah. that it's like,
  540. 18:16"Hey, what are you guys doing here? Uh,
  541. 18:17can I come in?" Sure.
  542. 18:20>> Works for me.
  543. 18:21>> Um, and real quick, I just want to say
  544. 18:23thank you so much, Kristen, for being
  545. 18:24such a badass role model for girls,
  546. 18:27especially alternative girls. We don't
  547. 18:29have too many good role models out
  548. 18:30there. So, thank you so much for showing
  549. 18:32that we can chug a jack and go on or
  550. 18:35about our day and kick ass. So, thank
  551. 18:36you.
  552. 18:37>> It is my pleasure.
  553. 18:39>> Thank you so much.
  554. 18:41>> Thank you. Hello. What is your name?
  555. 18:43Where are you from? What is your
  556. 18:44question?
  557. 18:45>> Uh, hi. I'm Chris. I'm from Miami. Um,
  558. 18:49>> first I wanted to say Finn. Um, my
  559. 18:51brother told me a story about more chi,
  560. 18:53more power, and I thought that was
  561. 18:54really funny. So, um,
  562. 18:57>> yeah. So, on my uh on the autographs,
  563. 18:59I'll always sign more chi, more power.
  564. 19:01And I think it was for season 2, I was
  565. 19:03doing some training with a Shaolin monk
  566. 19:05in like Lower East Side. And whilst we
  567. 19:08were doing the the drills, we were doing
  568. 19:10these like uh energy drills. He was just
  569. 19:12like shouting out at me. He was JUST
  570. 19:13LIKE, "BOY, MORE POWER." And I was like,
  571. 19:16"Wo, that's pretty [ __ ] cool." And
  572. 19:19so, yeah, I like to kind of just like
  573. 19:21part that on with the autographs
  574. 19:23whenever I sign them. I think it's a
  575. 19:24good good bit of energy to kind of send
  576. 19:26people's way.
  577. 19:28>> Yeah. Um, but my my question is for
  578. 19:31Mike. Um,
  579. 19:33is is it weird standing there and taking
  580. 19:37bullets like does it does it feel
  581. 19:39awkward to actually do it versus like
  582. 19:41how it looks in the show?
  583. 19:43Um, do do you mean me the actor?
  584. 19:48Does it feel weird pretending to take
  585. 19:50bullets?
  586. 19:52>> Basically. Yeah. Like I guess a followup
  587. 19:54like how do how do they do it? Like
  588. 19:56>> Oh, how do they do Okay, so basically um
  589. 19:59there's two ways of doing it. We did it
  590. 20:00the oldfashioned way for many reasons.
  591. 20:03I'm not sure which one's accurate, but
  592. 20:06they have what they call squibs. And
  593. 20:07these squibs are little small explosive
  594. 20:10devices that they, you know, u basically
  595. 20:12wire all over your body into the
  596. 20:15clothing and you usually have a little
  597. 20:17bit of um protective layer between those
  598. 20:19swifts and your body and there's some
  599. 20:21special effects guy that detonates them,
  600. 20:24right? So, and they're shooting what you
  601. 20:26call blanks or something like that. And
  602. 20:28those things would go off pretty much
  603. 20:30simultaneously as the squibs. And the
  604. 20:32squibs are are pretty loud. I mean, they
  605. 20:35do sound like like gunshots and they do
  606. 20:38have a little they have a little punch
  607. 20:39to them. So, I got used to that, but it
  608. 20:42it definitely I never enjoy that. I was
  609. 20:44always kind of like, "Oh, boy. Here we
  610. 20:46go again." I did not It was annoying. I
  611. 20:48got I'm not going to lie. One time they
  612. 20:50also very loud. I would sometimes put
  613. 20:52earplugs in so I wouldn't hurt my ears.
  614. 20:54And at one time I forgot to do that. And
  615. 20:57I was having a a scene with Mahersula
  616. 20:59and we were in the Harlem's um paradise
  617. 21:01in Cottonmouth and we had just I mean it
  618. 21:04was a scene where I I go in and get shot
  619. 21:06or whatever and then this the scene
  620. 21:07continues so it was no cut. So I get
  621. 21:09shot and then he comes up to me and
  622. 21:10we're talking and I couldn't hear
  623. 21:13anything cuz the it was like all I heard
  624. 21:15was
  625. 21:17>> it was so loud cuz the squid went off
  626. 21:19right there and it just I was oh I never
  627. 21:20did that again. It was not good. So
  628. 21:23that's why they that's how they do it.
  629. 21:24But they could have done it in post, you
  630. 21:25know, with like special effects, but
  631. 21:27they did it with VFX, but we did it the
  632. 21:29old school way, and it took a lot longer
  633. 21:30the way we did it. But, you know,
  634. 21:32whatever. Yeah.
  635. 21:34>> Thank you so much for your question.
  636. 21:36>> Hello. What is your name? Where are you
  637. 21:38from? And what is your question?
  638. 21:40>> Hi, I'm Shirro from Hollywood, Florida.
  639. 21:42>> And I have a question for the three
  640. 21:44actors. Uh, so my question is, what
  641. 21:46unusual skill or unexpected life
  642. 21:48experience has helped you most as an
  643. 21:50actor?
  644. 21:51>> Ooh, great question. learning to swim.
  645. 21:56I learned to swim uh maybe like four or
  646. 21:58five years prior to Luke Cage and and as
  647. 22:01luck would have it, a lot of the
  648. 22:02sequences of him being created in the
  649. 22:04lab and all that stuff was shot into in
  650. 22:06a pool and underwater and I've had to
  651. 22:08swim since then. So I learning to swim
  652. 22:10was very useful.
  653. 22:13This is very Danny Ran coded.
  654. 22:16But actually meditation I think is
  655. 22:18really good for acting because it gets
  656. 22:21you to be really present in your body
  657. 22:23and like listening to the other person.
  658. 22:26And I think as an actor it's some of the
  659. 22:28best performances are when someone is
  660. 22:30apparently doing nothing. So the more
  661. 22:32that you can just be really present in
  662. 22:33the experience and listen to whatever
  663. 22:35this other actor is giving you, uh I
  664. 22:38think it gives a better performance and
  665. 22:39and meditation really helps with that.
  666. 22:41Really helps you be more present.
  667. 22:43>> I think that too. But I I think
  668. 22:45enthusiasm um is something that I have
  669. 22:49had for life and and art and and and the
  670. 22:53business and acting naturally. I'm kind
  671. 22:56of born that way. And I think that has
  672. 22:58ser now that I'm a grownup I can look
  673. 23:01back and and see like that has served me
  674. 23:03very well. Um enthusiasm because you
  675. 23:06know it can be hard. There can be really
  676. 23:09challenging periods. It could be really
  677. 23:11challenging shooting circumstances.
  678. 23:13There's a lot of ups and downs. There's
  679. 23:15a lot of resilience required because
  680. 23:18it's not always sunshine and rainbows.
  681. 23:20It's not always a yes. So, having
  682. 23:23enthusiasm for what you do um is is is
  683. 23:26really a a valuable trait.
  684. 23:29>> Yeah, I would completely agree with
  685. 23:30that. And I just say the resilience part
  686. 23:32of that as well with enthusiasm. I think
  687. 23:34as an actor you have to be resilient,
  688. 23:36but you can't allow your resilience to
  689. 23:38harden you either cuz there's a lot of
  690. 23:40rejection. there's this is all fun but
  691. 23:42the time there's you know it's es and
  692. 23:44flows but to have enthusiasm with
  693. 23:46resilience and passion as well I think
  694. 23:49those really help go a long way in in
  695. 23:51this industry
  696. 23:54>> thank you so much for your question I
  697. 23:55can't think of a more dramatic way to
  698. 23:56end it
  699. 23:58>> hello Spider-Man what is your name
  700. 24:01>> where are you from which Spider-Man are
  701. 24:02you and what is your question
  702. 24:04>> my name is Spider-Man I'm from Queens
  703. 24:07I'm the I'm the brand new day Spider-Man
  704. 24:09>> so you're Peter Hi Peter
  705. 24:11Um, my question is, do you guys think
  706. 24:14you guys can take on Spider-Man like
  707. 24:16individually as your characters?
  708. 24:18>> If I can catch him,
  709. 24:21>> let's say we're like facing each other
  710. 24:23one v one.
  711. 24:24>> If I get my hands on him, you think?
  712. 24:27>> Yeah, I think so. I I'd go with that. I
  713. 24:29think if you can pin him down. I think I
  714. 24:30think
  715. 24:31>> he's on a run then. No.
  716. 24:32>> Yeah.
  717. 24:33>> I think Jessica has super strength and
  718. 24:36she's I think she could probably take
  719. 24:38anybody.
  720. 24:38>> Yeah.
  721. 24:39>> Right. Yeah,
  722. 24:41>> you're going to see a bunch of people
  723. 24:42doing this with their Cali apps open to
  724. 24:44be like, I bet that Jessica can take
  725. 24:46Spider-Man at 52%.
  726. 24:49>> Thank you so much for your question.
  727. 24:52Hello. What is your name? Where are you
  728. 24:54from? And what is your question?
  729. 24:55>> Thank you. Uh, my name is Alejandro. I'm
  730. 24:57from Orlando.
  731. 24:59>> Uh, my question is for all three of you,
  732. 25:01I suppose. I was thinking about how John
  733. 25:03Bernthal has these character quirks that
  734. 25:06he incorporates into his characters like
  735. 25:08let me tell you something or rubbing his
  736. 25:09head and stuff like that. So what kind
  737. 25:11of perks do you guys incorporate into
  738. 25:13your characters? Maybe something that we
  739. 25:15haven't noticed on the screen but you
  740. 25:16think of that.
  741. 25:18>> No, no, I don't do perk I don't do perks
  742. 25:20for characters. No, I don't do that. I
  743. 25:23don't want my characters to feel like
  744. 25:24the character that I'm playing in
  745. 25:26another project. So I like my characters
  746. 25:28to be different. So no continuous perks.
  747. 25:33Yeah, I I I don't think I have any
  748. 25:35quirks. There's no no kind of go-tos
  749. 25:37that I do as a way to kind of Yeah,
  750. 25:40nothing like that. Not that I can think
  751. 25:41of.
  752. 25:42>> I think that you find ways to bring
  753. 25:44something of yourself that makes the
  754. 25:46character uniquely uniquely yours to all
  755. 25:49of your characters. Um, I'm so lucky I
  756. 25:52get to play so many different delicious
  757. 25:54kinds of characters. Um, but I can roll
  758. 25:57my eyes like the best of them.
  759. 26:01All right.
  760. 26:01>> I'm I'm a world famous meme. I come with
  761. 26:03the iPhone.
  762. 26:04>> That's true.
  763. 26:06>> Thank you so much for your question.
  764. 26:07>> Can't wait to see you in the suit.
  765. 26:11>> Hello. What is your name? Where are you
  766. 26:13from? And what is your question?
  767. 26:14>> Hi, my name is DJ. I'm from Los Angeles,
  768. 26:16California, but I've been living in
  769. 26:18Miami for over 10 years now. Big fan of
  770. 26:20all you guys. Been watching your shows
  771. 26:21since they first came out over 10 years
  772. 26:23ago. Um, I can't imagine anyone else in
  773. 26:25your roles, um, but in the hypothetical
  774. 26:28universe that you weren't playing your
  775. 26:30respective defenders, is there another
  776. 26:32MCU hero that you would want to be or
  777. 26:34villain?
  778. 26:35>> No. No. I'm I'm I'm Danny Rand until I
  779. 26:39die. I I I get these questions all the
  780. 26:41time and I I just have so much love for
  781. 26:43the character that I just couldn't
  782. 26:45imagine playing any other character in
  783. 26:48the MCU.
  784. 26:49>> Yeah, I feel the same way. I think also
  785. 26:51I think because Jessica had never been
  786. 26:54played before and I got to originate the
  787. 26:56character. Um it's just I feel like she
  788. 27:00is if I had to got to pick any character
  789. 27:03in the MCU, I would pick her every day
  790. 27:05all day. I think she's the coolest and I
  791. 27:08don't think they would really want me
  792. 27:10for any other character. I think she's
  793. 27:12like the best and she's the one. I just
  794. 27:14Yeah.
  795. 27:15>> Yeah. I I agree. Um totally 100%. I I
  796. 27:18don't want to really want to do anything
  797. 27:19other character besides Luke Cage, but I
  798. 27:21mean, if Marvel wants to back up a truck
  799. 27:23full of money. I mean, I'm I I could
  800. 27:24talk.
  801. 27:26I'm open to discussion, you know, just
  802. 27:30my arm.
  803. 27:31>> Yeah. So, send your emails at Marvel.
  804. 27:33Please pay Mike
  805. 27:35>> more to play another character
  806. 27:37>> seven zeros if you want to replace
  807. 27:38someone else.
  808. 27:39>> Fine.
  809. 27:40>> Thank you so much for your question.
  810. 27:43>> Hi, friend. What is your name? Where are
  811. 27:45you from? And what is your question? Hi,

  814. 27:51guys, which is your favorite Marvel
  815. 27:53character growing up?
  816. 27:56>> Wol Yeah, Wolverine,
  817. 27:58>> probably. Yeah.
  818. 28:01>> Yeah.
  819. 28:02>> It's funny. I I grew up in the UK and
  820. 28:05Marvel now is massive in the UK. My
  821. 28:07nephew loves Spider-Man, right? But when
  822. 28:10I was younger, Marvel wasn't really that
  823. 28:12big over there. We didn't really have
  824. 28:14the movies yet. And so I didn't grow up
  825. 28:16on any kind of superheroes. It wasn't
  826. 28:18until I got older that it started
  827. 28:20becoming more uh relevant in the
  828. 28:22culture.
  829. 28:24>> I didn't grow up with any comic book
  830. 28:25access or exposure at all when I was on
  831. 28:29my farm in Pennsylvania. I was watching
  832. 28:31Jim Carrey movies.
  833. 28:33>> I love Jim Carrey when I was
  834. 28:34>> my
  835. 28:36Yeah.

  840. 28:44She didn't get Oh, Billy. Pressing this
  841. 28:47nipple up against the
  842. 28:49>> Oh, Billy. Do I need to do it? Do I need
  843. 28:52to actually do it?
  844. 28:55>> Later. Later. Come to the table.
  845. 28:58>> You never know where the story is going
  846. 29:00to go with my culture.
  847. 29:02>> I love that old belly.
  848. 29:04>> Also, fun fact, the mask was originally
  849. 29:06a comic book character. So, that's kind
  850. 29:09of an answer. Thank you so much for your
  851. 29:10question.
  852. 29:12>> Hello, friend. What is your name and
  853. 29:14where are you from and what is your
  854. 29:15question?
  855. 29:16>> Hello, my name is Frank. I'm from Miami,
  856. 29:18Florida. And I want to make a quick
  857. 29:21question to all you guys. Uh which which
  858. 29:24is the most character that you would
  859. 29:26like to play if you would like to given
  860. 29:28the opportunity to, you know, to
  861. 29:30interpret it
  862. 29:31>> like other universes?

  864. 29:34you'd like to play in
  865. 29:36>> different universe.
  866. 29:38>> Any anything?
  867. 29:39>> Can I just be a rock star? Can I be Can
  868. 29:41I switch to like a be a a front band of
  869. 29:43a rock band? That'd be fun.
  870. 29:44>> Yeah.

  872. 29:46be fun.
  873. 29:50>> Like the Indiana Jones universe. If

  875. 29:54would be really fun.

  887. 30:17>> Yeah. Like something like real mean.
  888. 30:19>> Yeah.
  889. 30:19>> Fabulous.
  890. 30:20>> But fabulous.
  891. 30:22>> And and elevated it over the top.
  892. 30:24>> Yeah. That's that would be fun. That's

  894. 30:27>> at Disney. Please, please, please,

  896. 30:30your question.

  898. 30:33from? And what is your question?
  899. 30:35>> Hi, my name is Mark. I'm from Miami,
  900. 30:37Florida. And my question is, what what
  901. 30:40do you feel about bringing your your
  902. 30:42shows to the MCU? Like from the Netflix
  903. 30:45now to the MCU, how do you guys feel?
  904. 30:47It's so great. You know, like we were
  905. 30:49saying before, it's such a gift to be
  906. 30:51able to continue playing these
  907. 30:52characters and that they're so beloved
  908. 30:56by the fans and and by our by us. And
  909. 30:59it's it's amazing. It's a gift and we're
  910. 31:02so we're so fortunate.
  911. 31:05>> Thank you so much for your question.
  912. 31:08Hello, Matt Murdoch. What is your name?
  913. 31:10Where are you from? And what is your
  914. 31:12question?
  915. 31:12>> You said it yourself. I'm Matt Murdoch.
  916. 31:15>> Definitely not Daredevil.
  917. 31:16>> I'm something of a lawyer myself.
  918. 31:20My question is though to Mike and
  919. 31:22Kristen. Would you like to do more
  920. 31:25mainstream movies? Like example, Mike,
  921. 31:28you're in Met in Black. Kristen, you're
  922. 31:31in Big Eyes with Tim Burton. and the
  923. 31:35Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie.
  924. 31:37>> I love Sonic. Yeah. So fun. Yeah. You
  925. 31:40know, it's it's awesome to be able to do
  926. 31:43everything, a little bit of everything
  927. 31:44and have variety. In television, you get
  928. 31:47to spend way more time developing
  929. 31:49character. There's more real estate. And
  930. 31:51then films are more of like a big event.
  931. 31:53I mean, it's all so great. I just, you
  932. 31:55know, I feel so fortunate to both.
  933. 31:58>> I I I I like, you know, I think
  934. 32:02television is a sweet spot for me
  935. 32:04because I always feel like, you know, to
  936. 32:06Kristen's point, you spend more time
  937. 32:08with the character. Films, you get a
  938. 32:10beginning, a middle, and end. If you
  939. 32:11stick to landing, great. And if it's if
  940. 32:13it's good, they will they'll do a sequel
  941. 32:14or do more or whatever. So, I feel like
  942. 32:16if you get it right, they'll they'll
  943. 32:18want more of it. I just feel like, you
  944. 32:20know, just being practical
  945. 32:22films usually, especially with economics
  946. 32:24today, you we're filming in different
  947. 32:25locations. I love to travel and I love
  948. 32:27being in great places and and and having
  949. 32:28that time to be in a place where the
  950. 32:31location becomes a character as well,
  951. 32:32but it's not practical for for my
  952. 32:34lifestyle sometimes. And I think movie
  953. 32:36actors or people who are always doing
  954. 32:38movies, they sacrifice a bit. They're
  955. 32:40never really home and they never really
  956. 32:41have the same place they can sleep. And
  957. 32:43with TV, I've been lucky enough to film
  958. 32:44most of the shows that I've done for the
  959. 32:46last over a decade has been in New York
  960. 32:48City and around New York area and I've
  961. 32:50been able to be home for the most part.
  962. 32:52And if I'm not there, I'm in LA with my
  963. 32:54family. So, it does while movies are
  964. 32:56good and they're fun, sometimes it's not
  965. 32:58even worth me. I mean, I just I it just
  966. 33:00depends. I'm not like, "Oh, let me do
  967. 33:02movies so I can do movies." Cuz it just
  968. 33:04it comes at a cost and I don't know that
  969. 33:05it makes sense. So, when the when the
  970. 33:06time is right, the script is right, and
  971. 33:08it makes sense, then sure. But I I do
  972. 33:10love the sweet spot of television and
  973. 33:12you see a lot of movie actors that going
  974. 33:13to do television and they're doing their
  975. 33:15best work because it's the writing's
  976. 33:16better and you know there's more thought
  977. 33:18behind it and and I just I just I just
  978. 33:20I'm a big fan of television but when
  979. 33:21movies are done well it's it's hard to
  980. 33:23compete. I I just like where the process
  981. 33:26of a TV show um because it gives you so
  982. 33:28many other things you can you can hold
  983. 33:29on to besides just the idea that you're
  984. 33:31in a movie. You know,
  985. 33:34>> it's also in really I mean, both are
  986. 33:35great again, but with television, you're
  987. 33:37on it a lot longer. So, you h you
  988. 33:40develop a real camaraderie with a group
  989. 33:42of people that your crew becomes like
  990. 33:45family and you know their kids' names
  991. 33:46and you have inside jokes and there's
  992. 33:48something really really fun about that.
  993. 33:50It's like you're a part of a a little
  994. 33:52family, a part of like a little
  995. 33:53subculture and that's a really unique
  996. 33:55experience. And I also love the pace of
  997. 33:57it. You have to really be on your toes.
  998. 33:59Yeah,
  999. 34:00>> you do work so hard and there's just
  1000. 34:02there's something very electric about
  1001. 34:04it.
  1002. 34:05>> Thank you so much and great to see you
  1003. 34:07back.
  1004. 34:08>> Thank you.
  1005. 34:09>> Thank you so much.
  1006. 34:10>> Hello friend. What is your name and
  1007. 34:12where are you from? And what is your
  1008. 34:13question?
  1009. 34:14>> Hello. My name is Matthew. I'm from
  1010. 34:16Miami, Florida.
  1011. 34:17>> Woo.
  1012. 34:17>> And my question is for all three of you.
  1013. 34:19Um, honestly, um, I was thinking about
  1014. 34:22this for a while. If you guys had to
  1015. 34:25like with your characters in Defenders,
  1016. 34:27if you guys had a dream match like any
  1017. 34:29character from any universe, thinking
  1018. 34:31like Invincible, I'm thinking like um
  1019. 34:34DC, any character like if your
  1020. 34:36characters had to fight any character,
  1021. 34:37which one would it be?
  1022. 34:40>> Uh I want to fight like Aquaman or
  1023. 34:42something like that.
  1024. 34:42>> Yeah.
  1025. 34:43>> Get him out of the water,
  1026. 34:45wear him out.
  1027. 34:48>> You give him some coffee, he'll
  1028. 34:49dehydrate.
  1029. 34:50>> I'm just like going through all of the
  1030. 34:52different universes.
  1031. 34:54He's either passing out or going through
  1032. 34:55his going through his rolodex of
  1033. 34:57characters.
  1034. 34:58>> DC DC.
  1035. 35:00>> I I I love the I don't know if anyone
  1036. 35:01has seen uh the Dark Crystal. It's a Jim
  1037. 35:04Henson.
  1038. 35:05>> You're not going to beat up the Dark
  1039. 35:06Crystal Muppets. Are you?
  1040. 35:08>> Well, the Skeksis I would Skeis are bad
  1041. 35:12dudes.
  1042. 35:12>> Yeah, they are kind of bad.
  1043. 35:13>> Yeah, I love that world.
  1044. 35:14>> That was scary. That that I'm going to
  1045. 35:15watch that was scary.
  1046. 35:17>> Yeah, it's good. And the Netflix did a
  1047. 35:19like a 10 10 episode like reboot and
  1048. 35:21it's fantastic. Really?
  1049. 35:23>> Oh, it's so good. It's I would argue
  1050. 35:25>> is it more intense?
  1051. 35:26>> Um
  1052. 35:27>> like like does it Jim Henson had his
  1053. 35:28thing?
  1054. 35:29>> Oh, it's still Jim Henson. It's
  1055. 35:30>> Well, it's a state obviously cuz it's
  1056. 35:32not
  1057. 35:32>> Right. Right. But it's still the whole
  1058. 35:33company that are doing
  1059. 35:34>> Are they using like the
  1060. 35:35>> animat? Yeah. Animatronics. It's really
  1061. 35:37good. And the story is over 10 episodes.
  1062. 35:39You get deep into
  1063. 35:41>> Yeah. It's not It doesn't have the same
  1064. 35:43feel.
  1065. 35:43>> Should you do it? Should you do it sober
  1066. 35:45or not?
  1067. 35:47>> I mean, that's on you, Mike.

  1088. 36:28>> Um, and my question is, so going from a
  1089. 36:32character like Chloe to a character like
  1090. 36:34Jessica, how did that affect your
  1091. 36:36process as an actress? And also, who do
  1092. 36:39you think you identify with more as
  1093. 36:41Kristen?
  1094. 36:42>> Oo. Um, oh, doing the the being in
  1095. 36:46apartment 23 was like the most fun I've
  1096. 36:48ever had doing anything ever. And I'm
  1097. 36:51probably a little bit more like that in
  1098. 36:54my real life than I Jessica's way cooler
  1099. 36:56than I am. Um, I've kind like in the
  1100. 36:59beginning especially
  1101. 37:02in the beginning I would always like
  1102. 37:04with Jessica try to make sure I'm
  1103. 37:07squashing all of my natural instincts to
  1104. 37:09make a line funny and just like really
  1105. 37:11just be cool, keep it together because
  1106. 37:15like the [ __ ] in apartment 23 was like
  1107. 37:16a line was like silly string and with
  1108. 37:20Jessica it's like all very contained and
  1109. 37:22cool and powerful and and that it's a
  1110. 37:25that's a challenge for me. It's
  1111. 37:28>> a challenge. Yeah.
  1112. 37:29>> Awesome. That scrunchie is very glowy, I
  1113. 37:31think.
  1114. 37:32>> Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah.
  1115. 37:34But there's a little bit of both, but
  1116. 37:35they are very different, obviously.
  1117. 37:37>> Inside Kristen, there are two wolves and
  1118. 37:39it's Chloe and Jessica Jones.
  1119. 37:40>> Thank you very much.
  1120. 37:42>> Thank you. Hello. You have a great
  1121. 37:43shirt. What is your name? Where are you
  1122. 37:45from? And what is your question?
  1123. 37:46>> John from Tampa, Florida. I watched
  1124. 37:48Chloe. That was such an incredible show.
  1125. 37:50Why did they have to add? I laughed
  1126. 37:51every single episode. Cracked me off. I
  1127. 37:53love TV.
  1128. 37:54>> Thank you so much. It's so funny. I
  1129. 37:56watched it recently and I was I
  1130. 37:58forgotten how funny it was. The writing
  1131. 38:00was so delicious and hilarious.
  1132. 38:03That said, had it gone on, I wouldn't
  1133. 38:05have played Jessica Jones. So, you know,
  1134. 38:07you got you got to go with the flow.
  1135. 38:09>> Well, the question was um because I'm a
  1136. 38:11huge fan of Jessica Jones as well and
  1137. 38:12when I found out you were going to that
  1138. 38:13I was like, thank God. And then David
  1139. 38:15Tennant on set with you. How much fun
  1140. 38:16was he to work with? And can you tell us
  1141. 38:18your David Tennant story? So David
  1142. 38:19Tennant is so generous and so kind and
  1143. 38:23such a joy to work with and he's so good
  1144. 38:26at acting. I would have so many scenes
  1145. 38:28where I'm just listening to him and I
  1146. 38:31think I was working the hardest in those
  1147. 38:33scenes like watching what he's doing and
  1148. 38:36like you were saying like being present
  1149. 38:38and I was always floored. He looked
  1150. 38:41whatever he was doing just looked like
  1151. 38:42jazz. He would change it every time and
  1152. 38:45he was he also really enjoys the work.
  1153. 38:48He would run to set. They would say
  1154. 38:49like, "Oh, Mr. Tennith, they're ready
  1155. 38:51for you." And he'd run literally. And he
  1156. 38:54was just, you know, an amazing scene
  1157. 38:56partner. You're only ever as good as
  1158. 38:58your scene partner. And he he made me
  1159. 39:02better because he's so wonderful.
  1160. 39:05>> Thank you. Love you.
  1161. 39:06>> Thank you.
  1162. 39:06>> Thank you. Hello. What is your name?
  1163. 39:09Where are you from? And what is your
  1164. 39:10question?
  1165. 39:11>> Hi, my name is Mason. I'm from Miami.
  1166. 39:14>> Uh the question is for all three. If is
  1167. 39:17there a certain story line that each of
  1168. 39:20your characters that you felt was
  1169. 39:21unresolved, maybe a certain comic run
  1170. 39:24that you would like to adapt in in live
  1171. 39:26action that you would like to do?
  1172. 39:29>> Ooh,
  1173. 39:29>> all of them.
  1174. 39:32>> Yes.
  1175. 39:32>> Um I I recently just reread all of the
  1176. 39:35uh the Iron Fist comics again and I I
  1177. 39:38really love all of the interaction with
  1178. 39:40Awson Randall. I think that's really
  1179. 39:41cool. Um also the the living weapon as
  1180. 39:44well. I think I really really enjoyed
  1181. 39:46that that comic run series as well.
  1182. 39:49Also, I love the the recent uh the
  1183. 39:51Undead Iron Fist comic run. I think
  1184. 39:54that's really really fantastic. I love
  1185. 39:55where they're going with that. So,
  1186. 39:57there's a there's a lot of untouched
  1187. 39:59material I think for for Danny Ram to
  1188. 40:02explore.
  1189. 40:05>> The question again, I I was
  1190. 40:09>> I was listening to the stories and I
  1191. 40:10forget the question. I'm like, what's
  1192. 40:11the question? Is is there a certain
  1193. 40:13story line that you would like to that
  1194. 40:15you feel was unresolved that you would
  1195. 40:17maybe like to continue
  1196. 40:18>> that we've already sort of touched base
  1197. 40:21with or just comic books untouched?
  1198. 40:23>> Either one. Either one. Oh, I mean
  1199. 40:28multiple basically between the alias
  1200. 40:31like where we kind of started off and
  1201. 40:33and now that you know having this kid
  1202. 40:35being introduced in the last finale
  1203. 40:39there's just there's there's a lot of
  1204. 40:40story there that could be funny and
  1205. 40:43irreverent but also serious and also
  1206. 40:45relatable between Jessica and Luke and
  1207. 40:48what's going on with the kid and where's
  1208. 40:49the kid and who's got the kid and what's
  1209. 40:51going it's a lot of that. I would love
  1210. 40:52to see what that's about. And I would
  1211. 40:54love to see some sort of Heroes for
  1212. 40:56Hire.
  1213. 40:57>> Yeah.
  1214. 40:57>> I forgot that
  1215. 40:58>> where it's like, you know, me and Danny,
  1216. 41:01you know, hanging out again, doing what
  1217. 41:02we do, and just kind of just being cool
  1218. 41:04with it. You know what I mean? Cuz I do
  1219. 41:05feel like I do feel like we found a nice
  1220. 41:07little little um rhythm and we came on
  1221. 41:08Luke Cage and I thought I'd love to
  1222. 41:10explore that more.
  1223. 41:11>> Yeah,
  1224. 41:11>> 100%.
  1225. 41:12>> Thank you so much for your question.
  1226. 41:14Hello, friend. What is your name? Where
  1227. 41:16are you from? And what is your question?
  1228. 41:18>> Hey, my name is Mendel. I'm from
  1229. 41:20Hollywood, Florida. My question is, you
  1230. 41:23guys have all worked in very different
  1231. 41:25types of shows. Some of them franchise,
  1232. 41:27some of them not. Um, some of them
  1233. 41:30became a franchise after you were no
  1234. 41:32longer on the show. Specifically, Finn,
  1235. 41:34I know you were in Game of Thrones and
  1236. 41:36it became a much larger franchise.
  1237. 41:38>> The Night of Flowers.
  1238. 41:40Yes.
  1239. 41:41So my question is what is the difference
  1240. 41:43in the style of production and in the
  1241. 41:45pressures of casting and actual like
  1242. 41:48working on those shows when working on a
  1243. 41:51larger franchise like Marvel versus
  1244. 41:53working on something that is a smaller
  1245. 41:54project at least in the beginning.
  1246. 41:57Honestly, it's all very similar. I think
  1247. 42:00um the obviously the stakes are higher,
  1248. 42:02the worlds are different, but I think
  1249. 42:04like a a set is a set. You have the same
  1250. 42:07kind of components. You have the same
  1251. 42:08intention from everyone. Everyone wants
  1252. 42:10to tell a story. Everyone's coming
  1253. 42:12together with the best of their
  1254. 42:14creativity to try and bring something to
  1255. 42:16life. So, Game of Thrones was massive.
  1256. 42:20You know, the sets were huge. But going
  1257. 42:22on to something like Iron Fist, it was
  1258. 42:25slightly smaller. But yeah, it it feels
  1259. 42:28very similar. I I I think, you know, the
  1260. 42:31work doesn't change.
  1261. 42:33>> And Kristen, did it feel very different
  1262. 42:35for like Breaking Bad versus something
  1263. 42:38that's more of like a larger franchise
  1264. 42:40that you were a part of?
  1265. 42:42>> You know, Breaking Bad was was a real
  1266. 42:461-hour drama. It was like such a cool
  1267. 42:49show. It was very serious. Um,
  1268. 42:53so that felt like peak for sure when I
  1269. 42:57was there. You're just like doing
  1270. 42:59scenes, just such great material. And
  1271. 43:02then, you know, I think the Marvel stuff
  1272. 43:04felt a little bigger cuz it was in terms
  1273. 43:06of budget and stunts. Um, it's a little
  1274. 43:09bit more of a spectacle. Um, but very
  1275. 43:13similar approaches. you know, maybe you
  1276. 43:14have like one or two days longer per
  1277. 43:17episode on something like Jessica Jones
  1278. 43:19or the Defenders versus Breaking Bad
  1279. 43:21where you have eight days an episode.
  1280. 43:23Um, it just depends on the budget and
  1281. 43:25the scope, but the the work and the
  1282. 43:27departments are all are all pretty much
  1283. 43:29the same. Unless you're on a kids movie,
  1284. 43:31then it's very different.
  1285. 43:32>> How so?
  1286. 43:33>> So, like Sonic, for example, is like
  1287. 43:36giant giant giant sets and soundstages
  1288. 43:38and big stuff. And so that that and you
  1289. 43:42know special effects that's a little
  1290. 43:43different.
  1291. 43:44>> Very cool. Thank you so much.
  1292. 43:46>> Thank you for your question. Hello UA
  1293. 43:48student. What is your name? Where are
  1294. 43:49you from? What's your quirk and what is
  1295. 43:51your question?
  1296. 43:53>> Uh Robert from Miami.
  1297. 43:56>> I didn't even think of a quirk.
  1298. 43:58>> Just what's your question? But um first
  1299. 44:01I want to thank you guys for really
  1300. 44:03holding down Marvel during the time
  1301. 44:05where DC was doing all of their shows
  1302. 44:08and you were what we had for Marvel. So
  1303. 44:11want to give you guys thanks for that.
  1304. 44:13Uh second the question is for all of
  1305. 44:15you. I want to know with your entire
  1306. 44:18timeline from the show, is there any
  1307. 44:21specific storyline that you wish would
  1308. 44:25have gone a different way that you had a
  1309. 44:27different chance to explore a different
  1310. 44:29take on something that happened?
  1311. 44:35>> It's a great question. I mean, I at the
  1312. 44:37time there were many. Now I can't think
  1313. 44:39of any.
  1314. 44:44>> Yeah. Yeah. No, I can't I Yeah, I don't
  1315. 44:47I I'm a big believer of like what what
  1316. 44:49comes your way is meant to come your way
  1317. 44:51and you deal with it as you need to in
  1318. 44:53the moment. I'm I'm not really into like
  1319. 44:55looking back and thinking, oh, what
  1320. 44:57things could we have changed?
  1321. 44:58>> Not necessarily saying that there was
  1322. 45:00anything wrong with what happened. Just
  1323. 45:02like, oh, you know what, maybe it would
  1324. 45:04have been cool to explore this different
  1325. 45:06avenue. I I think a continuation of the
  1326. 45:07series, you know, I think for for Iron
  1327. 45:10Fist and it's like, you know, more
  1328. 45:11Heroes for Hire. Let's see where Danny's
  1329. 45:14gone, you know, when he goes to Asia.
  1330. 45:15Let's see what's going on with with all
  1331. 45:17of those. It a lot of our shows there
  1332. 45:19was so much runway left. And because the
  1333. 45:22shows were were all cancelled. Um I
  1334. 45:25think there's a lot more material, a lot
  1335. 45:26more story characterization to tell.
  1336. 45:28Yeah, I would have liked to have seen I
  1337. 45:31remember it being kind of jarring going
  1338. 45:32from Jessica Jones to Luke Cage because
  1339. 45:35the character was in in um introduced in
  1340. 45:38Jessica Jones, but then going to Luke
  1341. 45:40Cage was a different world, different
  1342. 45:41part of town, different writers,
  1343. 45:44different vibe, everything was different
  1344. 45:45and I wish there was some more attention
  1345. 45:48paid to the transition of the character
  1346. 45:50cuz it was like well you're just there
  1347. 45:52now and there's this I think I mentioned
  1348. 45:53her and and a couple like I mentioned
  1349. 45:56talked about her this girl downtown or
  1350. 45:58in Hell's Kitchen, but that was kind of
  1351. 46:00it. And I wish it was just more like,
  1352. 46:03you know, like what like it just, you
  1353. 46:05know what I mean? Like I wish it was
  1354. 46:06just something about the transition,
  1355. 46:08even if it had been like me meeting her,
  1356. 46:09meeting, you know, Jessica Jones,
  1357. 46:11Kristen coming into Harlem at some point
  1358. 46:14to look for me early on in the series,
  1359. 46:17just to see that there was that we're in
  1360. 46:19the same city. It just felt so strange.
  1361. 46:21cohesive a bit more cohesiveness between
  1362. 46:23all of the shows and chronologically
  1363. 46:26just some that that would have been
  1364. 46:28better for me just but you know it is
  1365. 46:30what it is but I just thought that was
  1366. 46:31something that would have been more
  1367. 46:32attention paid to without sort of
  1368. 46:34reinventing the wheel to do it literally
  1369. 46:36a scene would have been fine you know
  1370. 46:39>> thank you so much for your question now
  1371. 46:42friends before we get to our next
  1372. 46:44question and perhaps this is fortuitous
  1373. 46:46this is going to have to be our last
  1374. 46:48question I'm sorry for everyone who's
  1375. 46:50been standing I hope your 10,000 steps
  1376. 46:52was worth it. I encourage you to sit
  1377. 46:54down because I'm not a nice person and
  1378. 46:55I'm not going to add in another one on
  1379. 46:57the end. If you want to see our lovely
  1380. 46:59folks up here, they're so friendly.
  1381. 47:01They're so beautiful. They smell great.
  1382. 47:02They're along the far wall. So, go and
  1383. 47:04see them. Ask your question to their
  1384. 47:06face. Tell them how great they smell and
  1385. 47:08that I'm not being a weirdo about it.
  1386. 47:10>> So, beautiful friend in our cosplay.
  1387. 47:12What is your name? Where are you from
  1388. 47:14outfit?
  1389. 47:14>> And why does this deserve to be the last
  1390. 47:16question?
  1391. 47:17>> I love that you've got the skateboard as
  1392. 47:18well. Really rocking it. I literally
  1393. 47:20just got here. I stayed in your far away
  1394. 47:22parking lot.
  1395. 47:23>> Hell yeah. Dressed like that?
  1396. 47:24>> Uh yeah, dressed like this. It was
  1397. 47:26>> Hell yeah.
  1398. 47:27>> Very cool.
  1399. 47:27>> Are you hot, man?
  1400. 47:29>> It's really hot out.
  1401. 47:30>> I was going to say you Yeah, it's hot.
  1402. 47:32>> Good for you. You got here, though.
  1403. 47:33>> I got here. I got here. Okay, so uh
  1404. 47:36Miguel, I was born in Mexico, raised in
  1405. 47:39Mexico 8 years, then raised here the
  1406. 47:41rest of the time in Broward, Miami. Um
  1407. 47:44so my question is to make it a good one,
  1408. 47:46I had to choose from like four. I wrote
  1409. 47:48down a lot. I was going to ask a simple
  1410. 47:50one, but I'm pretty sure we all know the
  1411. 47:51answer uh to the question of is Tallow a
  1412. 47:55capital city of heaven. I'm pretty sure
  1413. 47:57they very clearly insinuated that it is,
  1414. 48:00which I'm excited for cuz whether it's
  1415. 48:02seven capital cities, maybe more, maybe
  1416. 48:04less remaining after all that happened.
  1417. 48:06Who knows?
  1418. 48:07>> You're really flexing your nerd cred
  1419. 48:08here and I respect that. Okay. So,
  1420. 48:11borrow that question. Easy question.
  1421. 48:13Cooler question for Finn. I think an
  1422. 48:15exciting question is with the release of
  1423. 48:18uh Eyes of Wakanda episode 3
  1424. 48:20specifically.
  1425. 48:22>> Um now there is a third option for um
  1426. 48:26who uh Jessica Henwick's character is
  1427. 48:29the descendant of cuz they did mention
  1428. 48:32something like that. Um have you talked
  1429. 48:34to Jessica Henwick? I know you guys
