00:00So your ability to build relationships, whether it's Paul Walter Hauser, Anthony Mackie, Don Saladino, you're like famously amicable.
00:06What was it like to work with...
00:09Yes, I still believe in people, even though it's getting harder.
00:15They're trying to show otherwise.
00:17Certainly, yeah, but I'm optimistic still, yeah.
00:21So what was it like to play in a role where you have to be at odds with people you love so publicly when there's such a vibe of bromance in so many projects,
00:28and the ability to blend with others, and then here you have to be at odds and focus on the mental health of things,
00:32but have that animosity and aggression?
00:36Well, it's always funny, right, when there's that dynamic with people like these characters, right,
00:42because technically are they villains, are they heroes or not, where do they stand,
00:46which is what Bucky Barnes is, essentially.
00:48He's always been trying to figure it out, and they are too.
00:51But in terms of the bromance, I mean, Wyatt Russell and David Harbour are very funny people,
01:00and they're really easy to work with, unlike some other people, like Anthony Mackie,
01:06who keeps me on my toes.
01:11Internet antagonist.
01:12Yeah, but it was such a great group, like literally, and so it was really easy,
01:19and I mean, like watching Julia Louis-Dreyfus every day on set was super fun,
01:23growing up such a huge Seinfeld fan, so it was fun, it was great.
01:28And briefly, White Wolf's obviously the most relaxed, but what was more stressful,
01:31dealing with the Thunderbolts, being a congressman, or the whole brainwashing timing?
01:35Like, what's the hardest era for Bucky?
01:38Oh, I feel like the hardest era for Bucky, for now, has passed, I want to say.
01:46I think those brainwashing days were a little bit more intense for him.
01:50I feel now it's a little bit, I always thought of Clint Eastwood and Unforgiven
01:56when I was approaching this movie.
01:58It's sort of like the older guy that's like, been there, done that,
02:02so, you know, take it from me, kid, kind of thing.
02:05That's where the sense of humor was coming from,
02:07but it'll be interesting to see what people feel, you know.
02:10Well, Don's Winter Soldier thing broke me, so I appreciate you surviving it, man.
02:13Yeah!
02:14Dude, thank you for doing it.
02:15Absolutely, man.
02:16Beautiful thing.
02:17Good to see you, man.
