00:00I have been wondering this since this beautiful moment on the press tour.

00:03Thank you so much.

00:04Sue is such a maternal presence in the comics,

00:06and I love when the storyline and the arc of the comic can be about motherhood

00:08and be about imparting lessons.

00:10Is there any lesson you learned as Sue you're excited to impart to your child?

00:13Oh my God, so many, so many.

00:16Eerily, eerily so, you know.

00:17It's a very surreal timing for me.

00:20But really, I think the most moving thing for me was that this,

00:26you know, in a big movie like this, Sue spends half the time pregnant,

00:31she gives birth, and then she has a newborn,

00:32but while facing some huge intergalactic existential threat to humanity.

00:37Do you know what I mean?

00:37Sure.

00:38And she's never sidelined.

00:39She's absolutely part of it.

00:41The fact that she's a mother makes her stronger, I think,

00:43and it taught me so much about, I don't know, how powerful that experience is.

00:50And I really hope that, as she does in the comics,

00:55I really hope that translates.
