So we're both doing well.
I'm going to start,
I'll come to you first, Lauren, I mean, I want to talk about Chloe [Zhao].
She's such a character driven director.
How much did that help having a filmmaker with that kind of provocative like?
Did it feel like you were kind of making an intimate film just on a
on an epic scale?
Oh. Absolutely.
After watching the movie, I'm even more in awe that.
A movie like this is possible.
I mean, she was able to.
All this huge cast,
and she had this, she had a cast of very accomplished actors
and she had to deal with people like me who are new to this industry.
And she had no fear
in interacting with everyone she was, it was intimate and she kept it real.
And Kumail, I love what Kingo does.
So creating this dynasty and in Bollywood as a means of fulfilling his eternal life
on this planet.
What do you think you do in that situation?
Would you travel around, become different people?
How would you tackle an eternal life span on this planet?
I don't think I would do anything differently than Kingo.
I think I would go establish the biggest like Bollywood royalty
line ever, and I would buy my own play and I would have the best time.
I think what Kingo does with his powers
and have eternal life, it is the most mundane.
You know, that's what I liked about the character.
A lot of superheroes, you know, the
the the burden of superpowers weighs on them heavily.
The the the the need to do good.
Kingo doesn't really have that much influence to have a great time.
So I think I would do exactly what he did.
I know and
I was just, I mean, obviously, we have just about just talking to both of you.
Now we've got a superhero of Indian descent.
We have our first deaf superhero in the film.
We have a gay superhero, a Mexican superhero.
I'm sure you've both fielded so many questions
today about the film's diversification, but it does mean something, doesn't it?
Films like Eternals will mean so much to so many people.
As a result, it must be so great to be a part of a film like this.
Yes. Yes, I'm really inspired.
And at the Premiere whenever we were walking the red carpet.
There were deaf people
that essentially showed up at the event.
They weren't included, but they were there.
And there's this huge wall
like behind us behind the press and some people couldn't see me.
They didn't.
They knew I was there, like above the fence.
I could see people their eyes and they were like finger spelling things over.
And so to be able to see
that I, I just realized it is so important
this film is important and just the fact that it was made
and that there is now a deaf superhero born in the MCU.
Finally, it's huge.
My final question to you, Kumail.
I mean, there's obviously brief mention in the movies of The Avengers,
and obviously as fans of the MCU, we all want to see you guys team up
with them in the future.
Who do you think?
Kingo would most like to meet of The Avengers and why?
And for you personally, who would you most want to say hello to?
I would love to meet Thor
Kingo would love to meet Thor, and I would love to work with Chris Hemsworth.
You know, I think that's a very, very what he's brought to
that character is strength, but he's also very funny.
There's so many different sides to him.
So I think those two Kingo and Thor would make a great combination
because they both have that arrogance to them, and
I think they would both sort of want to be the alpha dog.
So I think that could be a very fun dynamic.
Yeah, it's hard to know if they get or hate each other really.
Yeah, I think it would be both at the same time
like respect, but a little bit of hatred.
But thank you so much for your time and hopefully,
you know, for the next Eternals, we can do this in person.
