00:00This movie debuted almost nine months ago at TIFF.
00:02How does it feel that audiences are finally going to be able to see it?
00:05I mean, I'm so excited for people to finally see this.
00:08It was so exciting to show it at TIFF, and it was so well-received.
00:12It was a real sort of crowd favorite,
00:14and that just made us even more excited for everyone else to see it
00:18because it's definitely resonating with people.
00:20I got to see the film, and right now we're in a time
00:23that it can sometimes feel like the world is actually ending.
00:26But this is such a hopeful and inspiring movie.
00:28How do you hope audiences will receive this film in this current climate?
00:33I mean, I hope that, you know, given everything that's going on right now,
00:36it can inspire some joy.
00:38We're living in really divided times as well,
00:40and I hope that this film could in some way unite people in their experience of joy.
00:45And it just, I think, reminds us all that our time is limited on this planet,
00:49and let's make the most of it and enjoy ourselves.
00:53Tom Hiddleston shows off some serious dance moves in this movie.
00:56Did you know he could dance like that?
00:57I actually did, because I've seen him dance before.
01:00Okay, I didn't know he could dance quite to that level,
01:02because I've seen him bust a move in, like, press stuff.
01:06So I thought, okay, he can dance.
01:07But that was, like, that was a whole other level.
01:09I was blown away by what he did in this film, truly.
01:15Definitely.
01:16And Nick Offerman's voiceover also plays a really big role in the movie
01:19as he narrates the film.
01:21If you had to choose a star to narrate the movie of your life,
01:25who would you pick?
01:25Like, David Attenborough.
01:27Wouldn't that be so fun?
01:29And he just, like, does it documentary style.
01:31Like, and now she's doing the red carpet.
01:33No, that was a terrible impression.
01:35That sounded nothing like him.
01:38I'm glad you had an answer right away.
01:39That question has stumped a lot of people.
01:42But so many people are excited to see this movie.
01:44It's, you know, kicking off the summer box office.
01:47What's another movie you're excited to see this summer?
01:49Oh, what's coming out?
01:52Superman, James Gunn?
01:53Oh, it's got to be Superman.
01:55Because I love James Gunn so much.
01:56And I just know he's going to knock it out of the park with Superman.
01:59I mean, it's going to be a winning combination, truly.
02:02And I did hear little snippets of how that's going to be
02:04when we were doing the last Guardians of the Galaxy press tour.
02:07He was giving us spoilers.
02:08And it's going to be incredible.
02:10No surprise.
02:11And you've said that you would love to play Poison Ivy in the DC Universe
02:15or work with James Gunn again.
02:16Have you talked to him more about that at all?
02:18I have not spoken to him more about that.
02:21But, oh, my goodness, if James Gunn calls,
02:23I'm picking up the phone and I'm running to wherever he is.
02:26I mean, he's one of my favorite people on the planet
02:29and then also one of my favorite filmmakers.
02:31So, yeah, I would work with him in a heartbeat.
