When the interviewer asked whether they are going to work together on After Knives Out, The Gray Man, and Ghosted Chris Evans said:
You know what I mean? She’s the first person I go to and if she says no, then we explore the pool. But she’s the first up.
The interviewer continued to ask about their different projects. And asked, if someone has never seen anything that they have done, what is the first thing they want them watching and why. Chris Evans answered:
Well for you? Is it Marilyn? I mean, like maybe it’s something we haven’t even seen yet because let’s be honest, Ana’s so good in Knives Out. I mean, that really is the thing that everybody, she kicked the doors down with Knives Out didn’t she? But maybe the best thing is yet to come. Maybe, is it Marilyn? What would you pick? Would you take, what would you get?

They proceeded with a conversation about the movie which has nine action set pieces in it. And asked as they are part of those action sequences, for people that aren’t familiar with the way movies are made, what do they wish more people knew about making an action scene? Ana De Armas answered:
Like the scale of the complexity of like putting together all the actors and the elements and the locations or whether it’s the studio and the blue screen or whatever, like making it all work at once and matching each other’s energy and characters and all of that is just, it’s very, very complex. And the toll that that takes on you is really exhausting.
Chris Evans also added that beyond this movie, they just did another movie together, and it required this constant repetition. And if the scene itself only needs a moment of action, the entire setup and the whole moment are dedicated to one quick punch.
The Gray Man is now playing in theaters and streaming on Netflix.
