00:00Hello, good to see you.

00:01Can you believe you're here in London at this premiere?

00:03I can't.

00:04I'm about 98% sure this is all either a dream or a fantastic prank that Nick Holt is pulling

00:09on me.

00:10Let's talk about the fact that you found out about this iconic character.

00:14How did you feel?

00:15How did you react?

00:16What happened?

00:17Immediately I felt a great sense of relief and a kind of quiet peace came over me.

00:23You are Superman.

00:24What are you bringing to the character that we've not seen before then?

00:27Oh, I don't know what we haven't seen before, but I very much connected to two things about

00:33him.

00:34One, his joy for the job that he has.

00:36His great sense of gratitude for having the power to do what he can do.

00:41And also to a certain extent his loneliness and the isolation and alienation he sometimes

00:46feels from humanity.

00:47I think that's something that we all feel at times.

00:49Absolutely.

00:50And let's talk about the visionary that is James Gunn.

00:52Oh, boy.

00:53Tell me how it was to be with him.

00:54It's the greatest thing in the world.

00:56He's like getting to make films with your friends in the backyard over the summer again.

01:00He just has such a love for filmmaking and for the characters.

01:03And it was like being a bunch of kids running around in, I don't know, a mall or a candy

01:07shop or something.

01:08Just the most fun.

01:09And why should fans see this on the big screen?

01:10James paints with a big brush.

01:12And you want it to, you want the experience to fill your vision and fill your ears.

01:18And you also want to see it with a group of people.

01:20It's a very moving film.

01:21And it's designed to reconnect you with your friends and family and energize you for the

01:25world.

01:26So definitely a group activity.
