0:04Got a lot of apologies to make. Nothing's been the same since New York. Experience things and then they're over. I can't sleep. Boy, I have nightmares. Honestly, just a hundred people want to kill me. I hope I can protect the one thing I can't live with that. So the character in this film is a lot more comedic than the last one. Like you get to play Rody a lot differently. Well, you know, I think in the second Iron Man, we saw when Tony and Rody had to go at it in the

0:50Japanese garden. I think it's sort of let us know more about who these guys were and why they need each other and what the relationship was. So this one I think has just deepened it and extended it and furthered it and we get to see more of them as you know, as friends. Do you go into it differently knowing he's gonna be, he's almost a different character. He's a lot more serious in the second one. Do you go into it preparing differently? I don't know. I didn't have that specific take on it. I thought that and but that's without having seen the movie again for a long time. I think as I said at the end of it, I know that it's the very similar dynamic that we have in the third one. You know, they're he's telling him, you know, I put the big gun up on the hill and then Tony starts to go up there and Roy's like, where are you going? You know, I know I said the big gun not that you know, so I think it's it all started there.

1:37We know who these guys are. They like to rib each other, but ultimately their their friends and really have each other's back. Does preparing for a sequel is it similar to Praying for Marty? Because you're playing the same character over and over. I think you want to remember who you were and clearly, you know, you have to, you know, you're coming back into the same skin, but it's about the script, you know, it's really about, you know, fulfilling what's in the Bible, which is the words and our Shane Black, I mean, our director who also pinned the script is really the person who's keeping us in the proper frame. What are you doing? You get the script. Like what's your process as soon as you see that script for the first time? Just read it and try to track it and see if everything follows and make notes about what I think is going to come

2:24and then know that when we get to the actual set and we start the rehearsal process that it's a blueprint and we're going to find really what it is on the day that's going to make these characters come off of the page. So I'm going to come off the page. You have a scene with with Sir Batton and it reminds me, Jamie Foxx and Sam Jackson were talking about working together in Django and this one scene where where Sam comes out and Jamie was blown away just I got a step in my game because Sam's on fire. Yeah. And it reminded when I was watching Ben do that scene where the Mandarin, I don't want to give it away, but I think you know what Sam's talking about. What was it like on set for you when Ben's rising to that level? No, we had a, it was great on that particular day because it was one of those situations where we thought we were going to be shooting it one way and we got on the set and it didn't support it, so we had to figure out another way to do it. And so it's Shane and myself and Tone and Robert and

3:13Sir Ben who I just met that day all putting our heads together and kind of working the scene out. And that was great because when you realize we are all coming from the same place, we all come at it in a very similar way and Sir Ben was just, as you said, he's amazing. He was great. So it was a lot of fun to just have that happen on the moment in the moment like that. I got to go sweetie something called five questions. Five quick questions, Walmart answers. Right. Sacks are trumpet. Trumpet. Because it's a shame black film, rigs are myr tug. Cheetah. Well, this is, that might be the answer to this one. Who's the better baller? Clooney or ballmar and cheetah. Riggs. If you could recommend one Miles Davis tune, what would it be? Only one. Only one. Circle. That's a one word answer that works out well. In one word, Iron Man three.

4:01Yes. Yes. I like it. Thank you so much. Thank you.
