00:00I just felt so grateful that this is my job.
00:03It was such a cool opportunity to get to play a superhero,
00:07especially the Mighty Thor is so, so incredible.
00:10And then to have her also have this human side
00:13that has weaknesses, that has vulnerabilities,
00:16that has fears, you know, was an incredible,
00:20like, I felt like it was something
00:22that I could relate to more than someone
00:24who's just tough and badass all the time.
00:30I felt almost like it was my own bias
00:33that I was surprised that they would cast me as it
00:36because they didn't seem to,
00:38and I think that's really testament to Taika and to Marvel
00:42that they didn't, like, it was never an issue for them.
00:45And for me, you know, turning 40 while I was playing
00:49a superhero was pretty,
00:50a pretty magnificent way to mark the milestone.
