00:00Congratulations! What is it like to be a part of such a legendary franchise?

00:04It's crazy. It's definitely as cool as you think it is.

00:08I grew up watching the movies. They were a staple in my household, so this is kind of insane.

00:12It feels really cool to be cemented in history as part of this legacy,

00:16as part of this franchise. Yeah, I think I'll be riding this for a while.

00:20For sure, and working with people like Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan.

00:24Talk to me about that. Oh my gosh, it's amazing. It's definitely a little intimidating

00:28at first. But they're both amazing guys. They show up

00:32to set so humble, so ready to work, so happy to be there. And they treat

00:36everybody so wonderful. Everybody's equal.

00:40That was really nice to see, because you don't always see that with legends like them.

00:44What kind of stunt work did you have to do or prepare for

00:48this movie? My character Mia doesn't do any physical fighting. She's more of an emotional

00:52fighter. She really wrangles these guys, keeps them in check.

00:56And she sort of brings an emotional presence in a world that's

01:00normally so dominated by physical action,

01:02which is a really fun character to play.

01:04And yeah, I loved it.

01:06Well, being around action stars

01:08like Jackie Chan, were you able to pick up

01:10on any stunt work

01:12or tips while on set?

01:14Yeah, I definitely was a little nosy. I was feeling

01:16a little left out of the fun,

01:18because Mia doesn't fight, so I was like,

01:20you know, I'm just gonna insert myself into a few training sessions.

01:24Um, because I just wanted to pick up a few things while I was there,

01:26you know? What'd you learn?

01:28A few punches, a few kicks, especially

01:30from Ben. He helped me out a little bit.

01:32I tested them out on him.

01:34I love that. And where do you think the franchise

01:36goes from here? Oh my gosh, there's like

01:38endless possibilities. I'm so excited to see what they

01:40want to do. Um, I'd love,

01:42selfishly, I'd love if Mia

01:44could get in on the action. You know, maybe

01:46she needs to learn how to fight for some reason.

01:48She wants to take up kung fu or karate or both.

01:50You know, let's get her in there.

01:52Or let's bring Hillary Swank in

01:54too, um, because she was the female

01:56karate kid, and

01:58we need to get her back. That's truly

02:00when all the legends are coming together. Yeah, exactly.
