00:00Three, two, one, action.
00:08One of the fascinating things in the franchise
00:10to 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,
00:34it 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,
00:51I didn't think you could find a way to expand the world
00:54in a way that felt completely different
00:56and at the same time completely connected.
00:59They didn't come to the Continental, but 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.
01:26It's a challenge.
01:31That's cool.
01:32But I held a lot of fun.
01:35The way that the fights are built,
01:37you have to be prepared for whatever they throw at you.
01:43It was a kind of discipline,
01:46physical and mental, that I didn't know before.
01:50She balls out.
01:52Just fearless.
01:56The action is incredible.
01:58It was a really high bar.
02:00You have to bring your A-game.
02:02The first time I saw Keanu flick a cartridge out of a pistol,
02:05I was like, oh my God, rewind, rewind.
02:11John Wick is the Baba Yaga.
02:14She's the baby Yaga.
02:19You have no idea what you just walked into.
02:22The flamethrower scene is insane.
02:26I think I burned 106 people.
02:32I only cried with the first man.
02:35The other 105, I was fine.
02:40Fans are going to love what Anna does
02:43and how she plays this character.
02:45The overall goal
02:47was to give John Wick action.
02:49When you're watching it with an audience
02:51and the place goes nuts,
02:55that's a great experience.
02:59That was amazing!
