00:00This feels like, you know, an Avengers-scale event, and you've gotten to play in so much fun things.
00:04Like, you've gotten to live so many worlds.
00:06But this feels so unique, and I love what you did with Ghost elevating her from the comic to me.
00:10I love, I actually like your take a bit more than some of the comics, I will admit.
00:12Thank you so much.
00:13Was there anything, and like, as a diehard comic guy, you were.
00:16Yeah, I really loved it a lot. Thank you, thank you.
00:18So when you get a script that you know there's people like me that have their preconceived notions about a character,
00:23what do you want to bring to satiate us, but also bring something uniquely you to the character?
00:26Well, Ghost, Ava Star's own origin story, because in the comic books, Ghost is, you know,
00:31Yeah, it's a pretty, it's a small thing, it's an origin.
00:35No, it's, you know, in the comic books, I took a lot from, you know, the Thunderbolts and Ghost,
00:39and how Ghost featured in the comic books.
00:41And Ghost was a man, and Ghost was described as it or he, and with Peyton Reed back in that,
00:48in Ant-Man and the Wasp, that other one.
00:50That old chestnut.
00:51That amazing one I did.
00:52You know, we really created, like, you know, the story of who Ava is,
00:58and where she's come from, and her trauma, actually, which really leads us on to this one,
01:03where we kind of really, it's been a few years, but she's kind of existing in her own trauma.
01:08She just kind of is living it.
01:10And she's, you know, in control of her body.
01:12She's very much more powerful.
01:15And I think a scarier version than last time.
01:18Well, last question for you, because I know we got a lot of carpet,
01:20but if you had the situation where one thing was going to get deleted from your computer forever,
01:25and dealing with your powers, would you, what would you want to keep,
01:28and what would you want gone from ever from your computer system?
01:30If everything was going to get wiped out, what would you save?
01:33What would I save?
01:34Oh, my favorite tunes and favorite family photos.
01:38Beautiful.
01:38I was wondering if those music or pictures will, yeah, both.
01:40I love that.
01:41I love that.
