How was you part of the Marvel Cinematic world?
joy. I love this character and what he represents. I love it in MCU. His story is based on some of the officials taken by the government, which ended in dire consequences, tent, and tent on a group of black men who recruited to make the country better but were deceived and betrayed. Isaiah is the only survivor. But from all this, they survived the names of those who were brutally sacrificed. It is a brutal story, but it is also a privilege to give it this task. I welcomed him at “The Falcon and Winter Soldier” and I was not happier to continue in this movie.
What was like working with Anthony?
He is a great actor, and now you have faced what is a great leader. It is also a lot of fun. There is a lot of joy in the way Anthony goes about things. It requires not only people to spend a fun time, but they feel that they are listed. He works with his heart wide open.
I am interested in returning your reaction when I learned that Isaiah will try to assassinate President.
It was difficult [Laughs]. Isaiah runs in the world again full of caution. After admitting his contribution to “The Falcon and Winter Soldier”, I think he could return to a kind of normal life. He feels that the world is seen by Sam is a scientist who wants to believe in, but he is not sure he can. He gets a boxing gym and is free in the world. You may think that he will not give up some revenge works or imagine some error. My first impression was that it was impossible to play and deal with it. But if possible, how will it look like?
So what do you do from the comparisons between the film and the political climate in the country?
The similarities that people can see were not present when writing or filmed. These things appeared at the same time as the movie, or the movie appeared as a way to speak to what we find in the world at this moment. It is almost like alchemy, the timing of history coincides with the timing of our movie.
How important is your feeling?
There is the title of “a new brave world”. It is important for me to go beyond, and to retreat or start prey to less angels. It is more important to address what is real, what is true, then move forward knowing that there is a lot that must be afraid but we are progressing anyway. I think this is what this movie says. There is a lot about this movie that talks about love, mercy and sympathy.
Everyone who sees “Captain America: Brave New World” will take his own movie to restart their heads. “Captain America” I saw I am very proud, and this gives me hope at a time when I want to feel hope. The idea of communication is to meet with our fears and to be brave enough to communicate.
I also want to talk about “Mantis”. Have you been surprised that he left this impression that people still remember the show?
The audience of that day feels something that affected it. To realize that this is actually a surprise and fun. I know that Mantis and Ashiaa have valued us sites in my archive.
What is your feeling is the legacy of that character?
Mantis, Isaiah Wilson, all of whom come from love, and they do not necessarily have. There are many reasons for their lack of existence. But if everything that happened to them – change, destroy, imprisonment, is rejected – he did not reach that piece in their heart that contains their love. They knew they could bear anything. There is no hatred in their heart. Hate surrender. It gives up the strength you have.
