Interview with Simon Pegg

Transcript

00:00The first time watching this film, this chapter of this saga, I got the impression that the

00:06members of the team are expendable.

00:08And I'm curious if you would be okay with Benji one day getting iced in a mission movie.

00:14I think you're very right.

00:16And I think that's something that has always been the case, but no more sort of clear is

00:22it in these stories that we, as, as I think Luther says, we don't matter as much as the

00:30mission and any one of us at any time could face the end.

00:35And if that happened, I'd be sad.

00:38You know, I've lived with Benji for like, I mean, wait, who's to say it doesn't happen.

00:43But true, true, good point.

00:46I would be sad.

00:47He's been in my life for 17 years.

00:49I've watched him and been him growing up, becoming an older, more mature agent.

00:55And you know, it's a kind of a, it's a, they live a sort of a tragic life in a way.
