00:00Three, two, one, action.
00:07One of the fascinating things in the franchise to me is the world creation.
00:14Valerina gave us a chance to explore that world.
00:17How do I start doing what you do?
00:25Looks like you already have.
00:30When I got the opportunity or the offer, it was really inspiring.
00:37Lean into your strengths.
00:44I'm actually surprised I came out of it in one piece.
00:48When I read the script, I didn't think you could find a way to expand the world in a way that felt completely different,
00:56and at the same time completely connected.
00:59Welcome to the Continental.
01:01But they did.
01:09This is not a female John Wick.
01:14This is a story about Eve coming into it from the beginning.
01:19I was excited.
01:21I was nervous.
01:23I was worried.
01:25It's a challenge.
01:29That's cool.
01:31But I held a lot of fun.
01:34The way that the fights are built, you have to be prepared for whatever they throw at you.
01:42It was a kind of discipline, physical and mental, that I didn't know before.
01:49She balls out.
01:51Just fearless.
01:53Just fearless.
01:57The action is incredible.
01:59It is a really high bar.
02:01You have to bring your A-game.
02:03I remember the first time I saw Keanu flick a cartridge out of a pistol.
02:07I was like, oh my god, rewind, rewind.
02:12John Wick is the Baba Yaga, and she's the Baby Yaga.
02:17You have no idea what you just walked into.
02:21The flamethrower scene is insane.
02:25I think I burned 106 people.
02:31I only cried with the first man.
02:34The other 105, I was fine.
02:39Fans are going to love what Anna does and how she plays this character.
02:43The overall goal
02:45was to give John Wick action.
02:47When you're watching with an audience and the place goes nuts,
02:52that's a great experience.
02:56That was amazing!
