00:00You look chic! Thank you, I shower twice a day. Oh my gosh, good job, good job.
00:05Okay, well first of all, before we get into it, Super Bowl in your hometown this weekend.
00:08It was insane. Nick Fury shows up at the halftime performance. It was insane.
00:12You know? That's what Sam does. No, we talked about it, he didn't bring it up, but
00:16I had a feeling with him being there. That was great, that was great. I keep re-watching it.
00:23Yeah, Sam is always good. So it's been a few years since we've seen Sam Wilson's reluctant
00:27journey to take the shield. Now he's embracing Captain America. So where do we find him?
00:31We find him in the beginning of his journey, where he's full-fledged Captain America. He's
00:35accepted the duties that come with the shield, and now you get to see him as his version of
00:41Captain America. That's why Julius and I talked about doing as much as we could with these wings,
00:48pushing it as far as we could, and making it as exciting as we could for the audience. So
00:53I think people are going to be really surprised when they see those action sequences and amount
00:58of humanity and dignity with this character. A lot of talk about who's going to lead the
01:02Avengers. Is your name in the hat? I don't know. My boss don't tell me
01:05nothing. He just asked me not to be late for work.
