RYAN COOGLER:
We brought something for you guys today.
2
00:00:11,594 --> 00:00:13,722
You guys are gonna be the first
audience to see...
3
00:00:14,764 --> 00:00:17,100
the trailer for
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
4
00:00:19,644 --> 00:00:21,312
WOMAN: Oh, my God.
MAN: Wow!
5
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:25,817
WOMAN: No woman, no cry
6
00:00:29,404 --> 00:00:31,823
No woman, no cry...
7
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:06,649
Hey. What are you doing?
8
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,778
-MAN: Checking you out.
-No, no, there's no...
9
00:01:10,653 --> 00:01:12,113
There's no behind the scenes.
10
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:16,201
There are no, you're spoiling everything.
11
00:01:22,874 --> 00:01:24,667
COOGLER: Chad is no longer
with us, physically.
12
00:01:26,461 --> 00:01:31,174
COOGLER: But his spirit, his passion,
his genius, his pride and his culture,
13
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:35,762
and the impact
that he made on this industry
14
00:01:35,845 --> 00:01:37,055
will be felt forever.
15
00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:42,852
Standing here with y'all,
16
00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:45,605
I promise you
I can feel his hand on me right now.
17
00:02:17,887 --> 00:02:18,888
MAN: Rolling.
18
00:02:20,849 --> 00:02:21,850
All right.
19
00:02:22,934 --> 00:02:28,064
There is a lot of grief
and pain in this film,
20
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:32,152
that resonates in a way that sadly
is connected to a reality.
21
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:36,573
Chad, of course,
the understanding of what it meant
22
00:02:36,739 --> 00:02:39,242
to really show
a world like this, it came from him,
23
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:43,163
like, him and John Kani,
24
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:46,374
who played his father,
who is an iconic South African actor.
25
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:50,336
You know, they came together
during Captain America and said,
26
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:54,299
you know, let's put Xhosa
in this film right here and now.
27
00:02:54,382 --> 00:02:55,842
They set that precedent
28
00:02:55,925 --> 00:03:00,138
that said, you know,
we're gonna use this very beautiful
29
00:03:00,221 --> 00:03:04,809
and specific African language,
and it will become the Wakandan language.
30
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:17,405
That set the precedent
for the world of Wakanda.
31
00:03:26,706 --> 00:03:28,666
LUPITA NYONG'O:
The first Black Panther film
32
00:03:29,417 --> 00:03:34,005
so much of Africa was being celebrated,
rather than exploited, you know?
33
00:03:34,088 --> 00:03:36,216
Which is something we're more used to.
34
00:03:36,299 --> 00:03:39,135
And it was giving credit
where credit was due
35
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:41,638
and people were
so excited to see themselves.
36
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:45,516
And there was an embracing of culture,
of ethnicity.
37
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,104
There was just like, a reminder
that we all come from very rich histories.
38
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:52,315
-My King!
-Stop it, stop it.
39
00:03:56,152 --> 00:03:58,363
WINSTON DUKE: While shooting
the first Black Panther movie,
40
00:03:58,446 --> 00:04:03,534
we became more than
just actors and collaborators.
41
00:04:03,618 --> 00:04:06,537
We really became friends
along the way.
42
00:04:06,621 --> 00:04:07,872
The entire cast.
43
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:10,750
We became very, very close
44
00:04:10,833 --> 00:04:14,879
and we all suffered an incredible loss
when we lost Chadwick.
45
00:04:16,714 --> 00:04:18,383
-You have to keep working.
-My goodness.
46
00:04:18,466 --> 00:04:20,468
-Bad news, you have to keep working.
-Goodness.
47
00:04:21,886 --> 00:04:22,887
Oh, man.
48
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:26,557
I mean, you don't
get past a loss like this.
49
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:31,980
It's something
you learn how to live with, I think.
50
00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:38,528
For me, it was about realizing
how blessed and lucky I was
51
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:41,364
to have had the opportunity
to work with Chadwick before he passed.
52
00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:42,740
He wrote a statement saying
53
00:04:42,824 --> 00:04:44,951
playing T'Challa
was the honor of his life.
54
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:51,374
I was moved by knowing
our time together meant something to him
55
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:52,750
because it definitely
meant something to me.
56
00:04:52,834 --> 00:04:55,003
And it was kinda, I was like,
"We gotta keep going.
57
00:04:55,086 --> 00:04:59,173
"We gotta find a way to do it with
the people who he cared so much about."
58
00:05:00,258 --> 00:05:01,634
A sense like...
59
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:04,304
COOGLER: Yeah, I think,
I think how I see this is...
60
00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:05,388
Yeah.
61
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:08,349
You don't use
combustion technology in practice.
62
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,559
-Yeah.
-You understand it.
63
00:05:09,642 --> 00:05:11,436
It was an interesting exercise for me
64
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:13,855
'cause it wasn't
my first time making a sequel.
65
00:05:13,938 --> 00:05:16,399
Because I had done that with Creed before,
66
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:19,360
which was like a spiritual sequel
and like a proper sequel
67
00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:21,237
to the Rocky films and...
68
00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:25,283
But I never like,
made a sequel to something that I made.
69
00:05:26,409 --> 00:05:28,745
I mean, if it stays on their head,
70
00:05:29,245 --> 00:05:31,414
just one rotation,
I think, will be enough.
71
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:33,541
Yeah, it keeps them in...
72
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:36,044
-It focuses, just not that fast.
-WOMAN: Yeah.
73
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:38,129
Like, half that speed, I guess.
74
00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:41,466
One of the questions
we would ask ourselves
75
00:05:41,549 --> 00:05:43,676
when we were
in the early Blue Skies phase,
76
00:05:45,136 --> 00:05:47,555
what is a Black Panther movie?
Like, what is...
77
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:49,974
Like, we know what Black Panther is,
78
00:05:50,058 --> 00:05:51,726
but what makes it
a Black Panther movie?
79
00:05:51,809 --> 00:05:54,062
If we're to do another,
would it fit into the world?
80
00:05:54,145 --> 00:05:55,688
How would audiences recognize it?
81
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:58,274
We mourn the loss of our king.
82
00:05:59,609 --> 00:06:04,072
But do not think for a second
that Wakanda has lost her ability...
83
00:06:04,155 --> 00:06:06,657
to protect our resources.
84
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:07,825
COOGLER: Cut. Nice work.
85
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:10,286
MAN: Cutting.
COOGLER: Hey, guys, stop real quick.
86
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:11,371
MAN: Yes, sir.
87
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:15,375
I just wanna say thanks
to everybody for a helluva first day.
88
00:06:15,458 --> 00:06:16,584
Shot a beautiful scene.
89
00:06:21,631 --> 00:06:23,633
It means a lot to be back at work.
90
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:25,134
Specially on this one.
91
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:28,805
We gotta honor our good,
good friend and collaborator.
92
00:06:28,888 --> 00:06:29,889
Fellow artist.
93
00:06:29,972 --> 00:06:32,934
And it feels like
we off to an amazing start.
94
00:06:33,017 --> 00:06:35,103
I wanna say thank you
to you guys for today,
95
00:06:35,186 --> 00:06:38,314
thanks in advance for
the other 90-some-odd days we got to go.
96
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:44,112
Just a big thank you,
thank you to you guys.
97
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,284
LETITIA WRIGHT:
The themes are pretty strong here.
98
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:51,994
You see the themes of family,
99
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:56,040
of protection, of love, of care.
100
00:06:57,083 --> 00:07:00,545
All in one place and I think
that's beautiful for us to explore
101
00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:02,046
'cause many are feeling that
102
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:04,632
especially with
the years that we've just had.
103
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:06,008
You know, so many lost.
104
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:10,179
We can use this film to show people like,
105
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:13,141
"Hey, we feel
what you're feeling, you know,
106
00:07:13,224 --> 00:07:16,144
"we can connect to that, we can relate."
107
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:19,313
And hopefully that gives people an avenue
108
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:22,984
to express how they feel
and just come to terms with that,
109
00:07:23,067 --> 00:07:25,820
so there's so much
that's happening in this movie.
110
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,613
It's beautiful, really.
111
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:31,451
For me, Wakanda is a symbol of home.
112
00:07:31,534 --> 00:07:33,828
It's a symbol of belonging.
113
00:07:33,911 --> 00:07:36,497
It's a symbol of community.
114
00:07:37,331 --> 00:07:39,208
And the identity of community
115
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:43,463
and how we hold on
to each other to move forward.
116
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:48,342
And now, in the second film,
there's been an expansion
117
00:07:48,801 --> 00:07:51,637
to the world of Wakanda,
that's been fun.
118
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:53,389
For those of us from Wakanda to be like,
119
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:57,018
"This is what this neighborhood
looks like, that's dope," you know.
120
00:07:57,351 --> 00:08:01,105
And to learn more
about this incredible nation.
121
00:08:03,566 --> 00:08:05,735
HANNAH BEACHLER:
These are ginormous sets.
122
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:09,155
I've been very excited
about building everything.
123
00:08:09,238 --> 00:08:10,531
We've got Little Rivertown,
124
00:08:10,615 --> 00:08:12,575
which wasn't seen last time.
125
00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:15,077
Based on the River Tribe
and their color is green.
126
00:08:15,786 --> 00:08:17,371
We wanted to bring that in,
127
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:20,082
but we also wanted
to bring in some other beautiful colors
128
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:22,877
that you would see in textiles.
129
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,089
So there's a real big variety
in the color usage this time
130
00:08:27,173 --> 00:08:28,508
that I'm super excited about.
131
00:08:29,258 --> 00:08:33,888
You also get to see a little bit more
of our capital city, Golden City.
132
00:08:33,971 --> 00:08:36,307
Think of Golden City like Manhattan,
133
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:41,979
where you have the culmination of all
the different districts in that one place.
134
00:08:42,063 --> 00:08:44,440
So there's a lot of different tribes
135
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:46,859
that live in Golden City
as it's their capital.
136
00:08:52,281 --> 00:08:56,494
The only tribe you won't find
living in Golden City is Jabari.
137
00:08:56,577 --> 00:09:00,289
They are separate
from the rest of Wakanda,
138
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:04,335
so they live in this sort of,
southern snowy mountain tops.
139
00:09:08,673 --> 00:09:12,635
North Triangle is where
Bashenga first put his sword down
140
00:09:12,718 --> 00:09:16,931
so it is oldest place
in all of Wakanda, including the capital.
141
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:19,892
It is also where Okoye lives.
142
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:24,605
And a lot of the design in North Triangle
is based on Danai Gurira,
143
00:09:24,689 --> 00:09:27,400
our fabulous actress as Okoye,
144
00:09:27,483 --> 00:09:30,403
her actual country of Zimbabwe,
145
00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:33,114
and she is from
the tribe of the Shona people.
146
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:37,660
It's where Okoye feels
most at home because of the tradition,
147
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,037
because of what it represents.
148
00:09:40,121 --> 00:09:43,040
I was losing my mind
by some of these portrayals,
149
00:09:43,124 --> 00:09:45,543
of various cultures, including my own.
150
00:09:45,876 --> 00:09:47,795
I grew up in a country that had recently
151
00:09:47,878 --> 00:09:50,631
come out of colonization
when I moved there.
152
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:54,010
And so, to understand
a nation like Wakanda existing,
153
00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:56,095
I understood how special it was.
154
00:09:56,178 --> 00:09:58,306
A nation that left you with that question,
155
00:09:58,389 --> 00:10:02,393
"Who would we have been as a continent
had we never been colonized?"
156
00:10:06,814 --> 00:10:09,483
RUTH CARTER:
Wakanda itself is such a concept
157
00:10:09,567 --> 00:10:13,195
that we really wanted
to come back to it and groom it.
158
00:10:14,363 --> 00:10:18,367
You see technology that's upgraded,
you see new armor.
159
00:10:21,912 --> 00:10:27,126
When we do finally see this costume
as Midnight Angel,
160
00:10:27,209 --> 00:10:30,046
it connects directly to the comics.
161
00:10:30,546 --> 00:10:35,051
The Midnight Angels in the comics
are tones of blue.
162
00:10:35,551 --> 00:10:40,723
So, the design ideas
came directly from the comics
163
00:10:41,015 --> 00:10:45,686
and also connect
directly with the actor and the story.
164
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:53,069
Ruth will exhaust every possibility
165
00:10:53,152 --> 00:10:55,321
in terms of her research,
166
00:10:55,404 --> 00:11:00,785
in terms of connecting
with other artists around the world,
167
00:11:00,868 --> 00:11:03,788
to build this world of Wakanda.
168
00:11:05,289 --> 00:11:07,124
To walk into the warehouse,
169
00:11:08,751 --> 00:11:12,254
and just see row
after row after row, rack after rack,
170
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:15,925
table after table of jewelry and fabrics
171
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:20,388
and costumes that she sourced
from Africa, from around the world.
172
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:25,184
It's just absolutely, absolutely amazing.
173
00:11:30,272 --> 00:11:32,108
It has always been our policy...
174
00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:35,986
to never trade vibranium
under any circumstance.
175
00:11:36,946 --> 00:11:40,366
Not because of the dangerous potential
of vibranium...
176
00:11:41,450 --> 00:11:44,954
but because of
the dangerous potential of you.
177
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:51,419
I know so much more who I am
when I put the costumes on.
178
00:11:51,502 --> 00:11:55,005
The embroidery,
the jewelry within the fabric,
179
00:11:55,089 --> 00:11:57,216
the capes, the headdress,
180
00:11:57,299 --> 00:11:58,968
she just took it up a notch
181
00:11:59,051 --> 00:12:02,888
and I felt so regal
in each and every costume.
182
00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:06,809
Ruth Carter obviously
brought tears to everybody's eyes
183
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:09,979
with like, the beautiful costumes.
184
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:12,273
I always say like,
Ryan's the smartest man alive
185
00:12:12,356 --> 00:12:15,401
being surrounded by
a lot of women.
186
00:12:15,484 --> 00:12:17,319
Women department heads
187
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:20,573
and every woman on this show,
there's a strength that...
188
00:12:20,656 --> 00:12:24,326
you don't often see,
there's a level of excellence.
189
00:12:26,287 --> 00:12:30,082
CARTER: We had to develop
a brand new military faction
190
00:12:30,166 --> 00:12:33,502
that wasn't seen
in the first film, which was the navy.
191
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:37,923
I wanted to get
a color story first and foremost.
192
00:12:38,007 --> 00:12:40,760
We know that the River Tribe is green.
193
00:12:40,843 --> 00:12:43,345
So we started with a palette of green.
194
00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:46,390
You can combine
all different types of green together
195
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:48,934
and it just seems
to work together really nicely.
196
00:12:49,018 --> 00:12:52,605
Also, the element
of bringing in a tribal reference.
197
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:57,735
We really wanted to give them
a sense of Wakandan royalty as well
198
00:12:57,818 --> 00:13:02,448
so we brought in the gold
and the silver as an accent color.
199
00:13:02,531 --> 00:13:06,285
And they have hats
like all military factions of Wakanda,
200
00:13:06,368 --> 00:13:09,079
but it's different
and unique to them at the same time.
201
00:13:22,176 --> 00:13:24,178
This better not be a part of your ritual.
202
00:13:24,261 --> 00:13:25,262
It isn't.
203
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:29,141
I remember talking about Namor
204
00:13:29,225 --> 00:13:32,561
being in Black Panther 2
while writing the first movie.
205
00:13:38,192 --> 00:13:40,444
He's always been at the top of mind.
206
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:44,073
In the comics,
the two worlds have a great rivalry.
207
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:48,536
Namor and Atlantis are
208
00:13:48,619 --> 00:13:51,705
some of the oldest characters
in Marvel publishing.
209
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:54,458
Namor was one
of the first superheroes, frankly.
210
00:13:56,502 --> 00:13:59,255
But, for us
to introduce Namor into the MCU,
211
00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:02,424
there needed to be something
that grounded it in a reality
212
00:14:02,508 --> 00:14:06,929
that felt like, as tactile as hopefully,
the world of Wakanda feels.
213
00:14:07,221 --> 00:14:10,933
And in talking with Ryan, figuring out
how to bring this character to life,
214
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:12,893
one thing we thought
was really interesting
215
00:14:12,977 --> 00:14:15,646
was viewing Namor through the lens
of Mesoamerican culture.
216
00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:22,111
In preparation, we knew the film would be
217
00:14:22,194 --> 00:14:24,822
about Wakandans
coming in contact with another place.
218
00:14:26,615 --> 00:14:29,326
Mesoamerica was something
I was thinking about a bit.
219
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:31,829
And upon research,
220
00:14:32,621 --> 00:14:35,499
it became more clear
that the people of the Yucatán
221
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:37,126
made a ton of sense.
222
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:44,842
We would see images of them
drawing themselves with blue paint on,
223
00:14:44,925 --> 00:14:48,512
that was the color that we wanted
from Marvel comics that inspired the film
224
00:14:48,596 --> 00:14:51,432
and the more we got into it,
we realized it was meant to be.
225
00:14:52,182 --> 00:14:56,020
JOEL HARLOW: This is our background area
for doing the Talokanil.
226
00:14:56,103 --> 00:14:59,273
These are the gills.
They were grown digitally
227
00:14:59,356 --> 00:15:03,027
in the computer, sculpted,
then grown, we grew the mold.
228
00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:07,573
And then mass produced that mold
so we could knock out a lot of 'em.
229
00:15:08,115 --> 00:15:11,994
These also have to go in water,
so they've to be very durable.
230
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:16,081
Now he's gonna go over to get painted.
His whole body will be painted blue.
231
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:20,252
And then he'll come back to me
and I'll finish him up.
232
00:15:20,336 --> 00:15:23,339
He also goes to hair, and costumes.
233
00:15:24,089 --> 00:15:28,886
Each warrior has their own fish or mammal
234
00:15:28,969 --> 00:15:32,306
that's signature to their look.
235
00:15:32,514 --> 00:15:35,893
Attuma has the hammerhead shark.
236
00:15:36,018 --> 00:15:39,063
The other warriors,
some of their costumes use
237
00:15:39,146 --> 00:15:45,152
what appear to be shells and stones
and whale skin, fish skin.
238
00:15:45,569 --> 00:15:50,074
They have
their traditional Maya earspools.
239
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:54,495
The costume really does feel like
240
00:15:54,578 --> 00:15:57,873
this is something
that has been tooled over time.
241
00:15:58,540 --> 00:16:02,211
The way we went about making
the first movie was with as much respect
242
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:05,381
for the cultures we were pulling from
and for the audience.
243
00:16:08,384 --> 00:16:10,135
So we wanted to do the same thing
244
00:16:10,219 --> 00:16:12,388
for the cultures
we were reflecting in this.
245
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:16,100
Black Panther 1 for us was a big impact.
246
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:19,520
Everybody can identify with that story.
247
00:16:19,603 --> 00:16:23,983
We suffer because of the racism,
and social cancers.
248
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:25,442
Black Panther, it was like,
249
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:28,153
"Oh, my God, there is nothing
wrong in us."
250
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:31,573
There is nothing bad,
you know, we are not broken.
251
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:36,078
So, it was, important
and now it's our turn.
252
00:16:38,956 --> 00:16:40,541
COLE: The Mayans are...
253
00:16:40,624 --> 00:16:43,419
There's so much mystery
around their civilization.
254
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:45,087
COOGLER: Action.
255
00:16:45,212 --> 00:16:48,007
COLE: There's so much
fertile terrain there to explore,
256
00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:51,260
their artwork
and their advanced agriculture.
257
00:16:51,385 --> 00:16:53,595
All of these things
that they accomplished,
258
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:58,058
it just was a perfect palette
for us to kind of, delve into.
259
00:17:02,938 --> 00:17:04,857
COOGLER: With Namor, we knew early on,
260
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:07,276
I was like,
"We gotta find out how he got this name."
261
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,447
'Cause in the comics,
the explanation for his name was simple.
262
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:14,199
His story goes,
they took "Roman" and spelt it backwards.
263
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:16,493
That's not gonna work
with what we're doing here.
264
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:20,289
I had the thought,
somebody said something to him in Spanish
265
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:21,999
and kind of curses him in a way.
266
00:17:22,082 --> 00:17:23,083
That's how he got his name.
267
00:17:25,836 --> 00:17:29,131
MAN: On my mark in three, two, one.
268
00:17:29,214 --> 00:17:31,133
COOGLER: When our collaborators
came up with the idea
269
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:32,968
of sin amor which means no love.
270
00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:40,768
His enemies were calling him that.
That's how we came up with it.
271
00:17:45,314 --> 00:17:46,815
The child without love.
272
00:17:48,358 --> 00:17:52,321
Namor's costumes
reflect the tradition that he honors
273
00:17:52,404 --> 00:17:54,698
and a lot of researching went into that.
274
00:17:55,115 --> 00:18:00,162
His shoulder mantle
and headpiece that he wears on the throne
275
00:18:00,245 --> 00:18:04,374
is curated from
post-Yucatec Mayan culture.
276
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:07,795
It's the snake and we used a lot of kelp
277
00:18:07,878 --> 00:18:12,758
and things to make the whole headdress
and handwove his cape.
278
00:18:14,259 --> 00:18:17,471
but we kept it pure
to what he looked like in the comics.
279
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:25,229
The elements for me,
280
00:18:25,312 --> 00:18:28,440
sort of the makeup effects
elements, are his ears,
281
00:18:28,524 --> 00:18:31,360
I did a couple of iterations of those,
282
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:34,696
and then we did a septum piercing on him.
283
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:37,741
He's got earrings
that the costume department provided,
284
00:18:37,825 --> 00:18:42,496
but finding his look
on our actor was pretty easy actually.
285
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:46,583
He embodies so much
of what I had read Namor to be,
286
00:18:47,167 --> 00:18:50,921
that you don't want to cover him up
with fake eyebrows and stuff like that,
287
00:18:51,004 --> 00:18:54,633
I mean, he's got enough eyebrow there
that I can give him a slight point,
288
00:18:54,716 --> 00:18:58,804
but he's got
great ears for ear prosthetics,
289
00:18:58,887 --> 00:19:00,848
which was, you know, that was a gift.
290
00:19:00,931 --> 00:19:01,932
That was a bonus.
291
00:19:12,776 --> 00:19:14,027
The fish man.
292
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,698
DUKE: What's great about Tenoch is that...
293
00:19:17,781 --> 00:19:20,951
like any great actor,
in my opinion, he loves to play.
294
00:19:22,369 --> 00:19:25,747
He enters the scene with an open mind
295
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:28,041
and ready to play and try things.
296
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:29,126
COOGLER: Action.
297
00:19:31,378 --> 00:19:34,715
He carries a lot of gravitas
which the character has,
298
00:19:34,798 --> 00:19:38,844
but he has a lot
of softness and potential warmth
299
00:19:38,927 --> 00:19:41,722
which creates a really great dynamic.
300
00:19:41,805 --> 00:19:46,143
For me, to be part of this world,
with all the respect, it's a dream.
301
00:19:49,229 --> 00:19:51,148
-Cut.
-Clean. Good job.
302
00:19:51,231 --> 00:19:55,569
HUERTA: I never imagined
to be here playing this character.
303
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:03,493
And I have the best allies
around me including Mabel.
304
00:20:03,577 --> 00:20:05,245
MABEL CADENA: It was amazing experience,
305
00:20:05,329 --> 00:20:06,955
I have to learn Maya for the movie
306
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:10,209
because Namora
only speak Maya in the movie.
307
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:16,673
That was interesting challenge.
It's really hard.
308
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:31,772
CADENA: It's really difficult
but because we have a lot of time,
309
00:20:31,855 --> 00:20:34,149
a lot of months with our coach
310
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:38,278
for pronunciation
and for memorize the line.
311
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:41,365
But the big goal was on set
312
00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:44,910
because sometimes Ryan,
he needed change the lines,
313
00:20:44,993 --> 00:20:46,995
and that was a big challenge
314
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:51,458
because you need
learn at the moment a new line.
315
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:54,920
It's a really, really achievement for us
316
00:20:55,837 --> 00:20:59,299
in that moment, learn a new word in Maya.
317
00:20:59,675 --> 00:21:01,343
Líik'ik Talokan!
318
00:21:01,468 --> 00:21:02,928
Líik'ik Talokan!
319
00:21:03,470 --> 00:21:04,846
BEACHLER: When you look at Talokan,
320
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:09,142
we kind of took inspiration
from the temples that you see,
321
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:10,602
we worked with an archaeologist
322
00:21:10,686 --> 00:21:13,522
and he's written books in Mayan
and he really helped us along
323
00:21:13,605 --> 00:21:16,900
with how to get to where
we needed to be as far as their history.
324
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:20,153
But also, being reminded that...
325
00:21:20,237 --> 00:21:23,240
Namor never actually
lived during those times, right?
326
00:21:23,323 --> 00:21:25,784
He never lived in Maya
during its glory years
327
00:21:25,867 --> 00:21:27,953
'cause he wasn't born
until they went into the water.
328
00:21:28,036 --> 00:21:30,706
So everything that's there,
is based on memory.
329
00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:33,250
So that's why
things are just a little askewed
330
00:21:33,333 --> 00:21:35,502
because he's remembering
what he's been told
331
00:21:35,585 --> 00:21:39,006
and then what he saw
before everything went into ruins.
332
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:42,134
This is what's underneath El Castillo.
333
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:43,719
-Right.
-Which is K'uk'ulkan.
334
00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:45,345
COOGLER: How did y'all model the...
335
00:21:45,429 --> 00:21:46,930
-Stalactites is up, right?
-Up.
336
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:48,598
-Mites is down.
-Mites is down.
337
00:21:48,682 --> 00:21:51,059
There's over 700 on both sets.
338
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:53,687
-Jesus.
-Yeah, they hand carved each one
339
00:21:53,770 --> 00:21:56,356
in about three weeks.
340
00:21:57,232 --> 00:21:59,568
-COOGLER: Amazing.
-And then, this is our...
341
00:22:01,945 --> 00:22:04,698
sister cenote to the visitors quarters.
342
00:22:05,907 --> 00:22:07,242
Those are hand carved.
343
00:22:07,784 --> 00:22:09,953
-COOGLER: The big...
-It took like six weeks
344
00:22:10,037 --> 00:22:12,247
to hand carve those ten-foot steles.
345
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:16,335
And the faces are like,
kind of, after Tenoch's face.
346
00:22:16,793 --> 00:22:17,878
-COOGLER: Yeah, wow.
-Yeah.
347
00:22:18,462 --> 00:22:19,463
Mmm-hmm.
348
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:22,382
And then, this.
349
00:22:23,967 --> 00:22:25,177
Everything's from Tulum.
350
00:22:26,386 --> 00:22:27,471
COOGLER: Yeah, this one...
351
00:22:28,221 --> 00:22:29,556
This one's my favorite one.
352
00:22:29,931 --> 00:22:31,016
That's my favorite one,
353
00:22:31,099 --> 00:22:32,934
-the panther and Namor.
-Yeah.
354
00:22:33,435 --> 00:22:35,312
In the style of Bonampak.
355
00:22:35,854 --> 00:22:38,482
And the people are really brown.
356
00:22:39,441 --> 00:22:40,484
Which is awesome.
357
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:42,944
COOGLER: It's pretty incredible, man.
358
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:45,364
-So much detail in all this stuff.
-BEACHLER: Yeah.
359
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:48,700
All this is crazy.
How do they plant all this stuff?
360
00:22:48,784 --> 00:22:50,285
They plant this in real dirt?
361
00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:51,828
Yes, so this whole...
362
00:22:51,912 --> 00:22:53,538
-It's all living plants?
-Yes.
363
00:22:53,955 --> 00:22:57,501
And this whole stage is built on dirt.
364
00:22:57,584 --> 00:23:00,420
We cover the ground covering
and then bring in the rocks.
365
00:23:00,504 --> 00:23:03,590
You know, this is deeper
than any of the other tanks,
366
00:23:04,007 --> 00:23:05,133
so they can dive.
367
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:15,102
WOMAN: Take it away,
five, four, three, two, one.
368
00:23:15,185 --> 00:23:16,353
MAN: Actors go underwater.
369
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:20,232
COOGLER: I want to go
where the story requires us to go.
370
00:23:21,983 --> 00:23:25,570
There was this quote about how little
we know about the depths of the ocean.
371
00:23:26,321 --> 00:23:30,075
And how, the deeper you get down there,
the more alien things look and seem.
372
00:23:33,495 --> 00:23:35,872
And so for us,
we were talking a lot about this film
373
00:23:35,956 --> 00:23:38,417
being like,
a first contact movie, in a way.
374
00:23:56,226 --> 00:23:58,228
We were talking
about Namor as kinda being...
375
00:23:58,311 --> 00:24:01,648
a little bit of a spaceman,
in a deep ocean as outer space.
376
00:24:01,731 --> 00:24:04,985
MAN: All set, three, two, one, action.
377
00:24:05,068 --> 00:24:08,113
COOGLER: At that point, the movie
took on this specific identity
378
00:24:08,196 --> 00:24:10,574
of having these
water scenes that are super tactile.
379
00:24:10,657 --> 00:24:13,577
MAN: Three, two, one. Turn.
380
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:16,955
COOGLER: And I knew we needed
to do it for real, as much as we could.
381
00:24:22,919 --> 00:24:23,920
Hello.
382
00:24:24,004 --> 00:24:27,841
MAN: Cut. And surface.
383
00:24:29,259 --> 00:24:32,679
COOGLER: And it made more sense when
things happened that slid our schedule.
384
00:24:32,762 --> 00:24:35,515
We noticed, we're not gonna
have a ton of time for...
385
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:37,726
to VFX every single water shot,
386
00:24:37,809 --> 00:24:40,312
so it would be great
to get in there and do it.
387
00:24:44,524 --> 00:24:47,986
For me, I love
doing everything I can in camera.
388
00:24:50,614 --> 00:24:52,365
And it's really all about lighting.
389
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:56,369
We had to take into consideration
a lot of things because...
390
00:24:57,245 --> 00:24:59,039
you know, this city
391
00:24:59,122 --> 00:25:02,292
is so deep under water
that there shouldn't be any light.
392
00:25:04,044 --> 00:25:06,505
A lot of what
we're used to seeing, underwater worlds,
393
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:10,342
people breathing under water,
sometimes these examples can be
394
00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:14,054
over-lit, that look a little fake, right?
395
00:25:14,137 --> 00:25:15,472
Like they're not underwater.
396
00:25:15,847 --> 00:25:17,474
So we had in our tank
397
00:25:17,557 --> 00:25:20,936
very soft light above pushing through.
398
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:22,979
MAN: All right. Camera, set.
399
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:26,691
ARKAPAW: So that's the believability
factor if you're underwater.
400
00:25:26,775 --> 00:25:29,486
It's like we have this soft,
ambient light that feels real,
401
00:25:29,569 --> 00:25:31,571
not very punchy, not reflective.
402
00:25:32,989 --> 00:25:33,990
MAN: Go.
403
00:25:34,866 --> 00:25:37,869
Everything is against you under water.
404
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:41,831
Safety's against you, time's against you,
communication's against you.
405
00:25:41,915 --> 00:25:44,042
Moviemaking is hard on dry land,
406
00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:46,753
and you get under water,
407
00:25:46,836 --> 00:25:50,840
the difficulty factor
gets amplified by a factor of a 100.
408
00:25:50,924 --> 00:25:52,551
WOMAN: Great, and charts.
409
00:25:58,515 --> 00:26:00,016
DENISON: One issue we encountered was
410
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:02,435
a lot of the cast
wasn't comfortable swimming.
411
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:04,980
MAN 1: Five seconds, roll camera.
412
00:26:05,063 --> 00:26:06,106
MAN 2: Rolling.
413
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:08,358
WRIGHT: I struggled with it.
414
00:26:08,441 --> 00:26:12,153
Ryan called me and he was like,
"Tish, can you swim?"
415
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:13,238
I was like...
416
00:26:13,947 --> 00:26:16,992
"Sir, sir, I'm in the lab.
417
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:20,579
"What more do you need
from me coming out of that lab?"
418
00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:22,914
So I had to learn to swim very quickly,
419
00:26:22,998 --> 00:26:25,458
and everybody
was in a corner learning to swim.
420
00:26:26,751 --> 00:26:28,378
Now I've swam...
421
00:26:29,212 --> 00:26:32,048
in a mediocre manner since I was little.
422
00:26:34,217 --> 00:26:37,137
I used to swim like a puppy,
you know what I mean?
423
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:39,472
Not anything that anyone wants to film.
424
00:26:40,348 --> 00:26:42,475
I had to become friends with the water.
425
00:26:44,019 --> 00:26:47,063
You have to be so present
when you're dealing with water.
426
00:26:47,772 --> 00:26:48,898
WOMAN: Thirty seconds.
427
00:26:49,316 --> 00:26:50,400
DENISON: Five purges.
428
00:26:58,283 --> 00:26:59,784
NYONG'O: You cannot afford stage fright.
429
00:26:59,868 --> 00:27:02,912
WOMAN: Three, two, one.
430
00:27:03,246 --> 00:27:04,414
MAN: Actors going down.
431
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:10,754
NYONG'O: You can't afford
adrenaline, really.
432
00:27:12,172 --> 00:27:14,007
NYONG'O: You can't afford to hurry.
433
00:27:14,090 --> 00:27:17,594
You actually have to slow
all the way down and focus.
434
00:27:19,095 --> 00:27:22,223
And it was such a great lesson
for performance in general.
435
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:25,894
COOGLER: The look back's great.
436
00:27:25,977 --> 00:27:27,729
Right. I said... I told...
437
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:31,107
-How they're coming after...
-COOGLER: Yeah, yeah, totally.
438
00:27:31,191 --> 00:27:32,400
Looks good.
439
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:35,737
DENISON: Throughout the film, we don't
really see anybody on actual scuba.
440
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:37,197
Majority of it is free-diving.
441
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,491
You look at Tenoch's character,
Mabel's character,
442
00:27:39,574 --> 00:27:42,577
they have to look, not only competent,
but very comfortable.
443
00:27:44,245 --> 00:27:45,955
Like they were born under water.
444
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:47,957
We've to get them to a point
445
00:27:48,041 --> 00:27:50,085
where they're comfortable
holding their breath,
446
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:52,128
they're not thinking
about holding their breath,
447
00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:53,296
but thinking about acting.
448
00:27:54,255 --> 00:27:55,423
And being in the scene.
449
00:27:56,299 --> 00:28:00,679
The free-diving
is so fantastic and peaceful,
450
00:28:00,762 --> 00:28:04,140
when you are down in the tank,
everything is silent
451
00:28:04,224 --> 00:28:10,438
and it's like, active meditation in a way,
and I can hold my breath for five minutes.
452
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:11,606
That's my record.
453
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:21,533
DENISON: Mabel is the single best
free dive student I've ever had
454
00:28:21,616 --> 00:28:23,702
and I've taught lots how to breath-hold.
455
00:28:23,785 --> 00:28:27,622
We could push her to 10-minute range
if we had another week with her.
456
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:31,042
What's interesting
about Namor and the Talokanil
457
00:28:31,126 --> 00:28:34,045
is they're actually
kind of, super soldiers in water
458
00:28:34,129 --> 00:28:36,131
so they're going
to want to move through water
459
00:28:36,214 --> 00:28:38,341
in a way that
the human body probably can't.
460
00:28:40,593 --> 00:28:42,387
There needs to be an interesting marriage
461
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:44,597
with the stuff
we shoot underwater, wet for wet.
462
00:28:44,681 --> 00:28:45,682
MAN: Cut.
463
00:28:45,765 --> 00:28:48,143
And some stuff
we shoot out of water, dry for wet.
464
00:28:48,685 --> 00:28:52,897
Because they're stronger and faster
swimmers than any human on the planet.
465
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:58,194
So there was a lot of figuring out to do
466
00:28:58,278 --> 00:29:01,197
between the different ways
that Wakandans move through water
467
00:29:01,906 --> 00:29:03,491
versus the Talokanil.
468
00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:07,203
There's a lot of kind of,
math and geometry being done constantly
469
00:29:07,287 --> 00:29:11,416
to make sure that those two different
groups of people are moving differently.
470
00:29:11,833 --> 00:29:14,335
But there's an internal logic
to how everybody moves.
471
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:16,004
ARKAPAW: When we did
our dry for wet,
472
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:19,799
we were always trying to keep true
to how light works in the tank.
473
00:29:19,883 --> 00:29:23,428
Since a lot of wet for wet stuff
was shot first, we had a reference.
474
00:29:24,512 --> 00:29:28,933
So, trying to make it look more real
is kind of making sure that
475
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:32,061
the rules, the scientific rules of light,
476
00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:34,856
stay true to when
you're shooting it underwater.
477
00:29:34,939 --> 00:29:37,025
You want these to maybe push a little bit?
478
00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:38,526
COOGLER: Yes, I do.
479
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,153
-Kind of step out...
-Okay, man.
480
00:29:40,236 --> 00:29:43,948
One of the most difficult elements
of this film was the exosuits.
481
00:29:44,032 --> 00:29:47,160
It's a submarine that you wear,
with the arms and legs.
482
00:29:47,243 --> 00:29:49,579
They make 'em
for utility work under water.
483
00:29:49,662 --> 00:29:51,998
Each suit is about
a million and a half dollars.
484
00:29:52,707 --> 00:29:54,834
People don't realize that was wet for wet.
485
00:29:55,376 --> 00:29:57,003
Those were the actual suits.
486
00:29:57,337 --> 00:30:02,133
And using the exosuits in the tank
was an incredible opportunity to learn.
487
00:30:02,425 --> 00:30:04,552
But it was a massive challenge.
488
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:07,889
MAN: If we can try to see past it
through the vibranium detector.
489
00:30:09,349 --> 00:30:12,435
DENISON: We had to all kind of,
become experts in them overnight.
490
00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:15,021
Worst thing that
could happen is the suit breaks,
491
00:30:15,104 --> 00:30:18,608
they go, "No, the scariest thing
is a fire inside of the suit."
492
00:30:18,691 --> 00:30:20,068
It's pretty frightening.
493
00:30:20,443 --> 00:30:21,694
We don't want that.
494
00:30:21,778 --> 00:30:24,572
So we had to develop,
just like we do for all stunts,
495
00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:26,741
a safety plan for how the suits work.
496
00:30:28,576 --> 00:30:30,787
But it was pretty phenomenal,
the end result.
497
00:30:31,287 --> 00:30:33,081
This is practical moviemaking
at its finest,
498
00:30:33,164 --> 00:30:36,334
which, in the age of VFX,
is a very cool thing to see, right?
499
00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:39,087
MAN: Alex, you ready?
500
00:30:39,587 --> 00:30:41,047
All right, here we go. Ready?
501
00:30:41,422 --> 00:30:43,132
And, action.
502
00:30:49,681 --> 00:30:51,182
-You okay?
-I moved my head.
503
00:30:52,141 --> 00:30:55,395
I was intimidated. I'm not gonna lie.
504
00:30:57,230 --> 00:31:01,484
You know, I've seen Danai
on TV for years, you know.
505
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:02,986
The Walking Dead.
506
00:31:03,987 --> 00:31:05,905
So, meeting her, it was like...
507
00:31:06,948 --> 00:31:09,951
"Hi, how you doing, I'm Alex."
508
00:31:11,035 --> 00:31:13,204
But she's been great, you know.
509
00:31:13,788 --> 00:31:15,915
She's the one that I worked with the most.
510
00:31:16,207 --> 00:31:19,961
And she's been the most amazing person
511
00:31:20,044 --> 00:31:21,379
in the sense of...
512
00:31:21,462 --> 00:31:23,673
This is my first time in the MCU
513
00:31:23,756 --> 00:31:26,467
or doing something this big
and that fight on the bridge...
514
00:31:29,137 --> 00:31:30,263
You get goosebumps.
515
00:31:31,639 --> 00:31:34,475
When I first started
and I actually saw the video
516
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,686
the stunt guys made for our fight,
517
00:31:36,769 --> 00:31:38,021
I was intimidated.
518
00:31:40,189 --> 00:31:42,650
I was like, "Man, I look so good."
519
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,235
Why should I mess it up?
520
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:51,784
So it was a lot of training
for a long time, for a lot of weeks.
521
00:31:55,038 --> 00:31:57,373
When I started,
it was like I had two left feet.
522
00:31:57,707 --> 00:32:00,585
I couldn't move
as well as they did, but through time,
523
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,795
I... I got it.
524
00:32:02,879 --> 00:32:06,507
You know,
I started dancing, as they call it.
525
00:32:17,226 --> 00:32:19,854
Something that was very important
526
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:24,025
was to highlight what Danai
could actually do as Okoye.
527
00:32:25,276 --> 00:32:28,905
Because I think it's important
to capture her on screen, you know?
528
00:32:28,988 --> 00:32:31,991
We could always go to a double,
it's not... That's easy, right?
529
00:32:32,492 --> 00:32:34,202
But Danai put in a lot of work.
530
00:32:35,036 --> 00:32:39,499
And I think actors are different
than your average stunt performer
531
00:32:39,582 --> 00:32:42,335
because a stunt performer
will try to definitely...
532
00:32:42,669 --> 00:32:46,047
Not all of them,
but they will try to do everything
533
00:32:46,422 --> 00:32:48,216
physically with more grit,
534
00:32:48,299 --> 00:32:50,635
but an actor thinks
about the emotion behind it.
535
00:32:50,718 --> 00:32:52,428
COOGLER: Cut. cut.
MAN: Cut it, cut it.
536
00:32:52,762 --> 00:32:54,055
Let's do one more, I'm sorry.
537
00:32:54,138 --> 00:32:55,348
MAN: Reset.
538
00:32:55,431 --> 00:32:57,725
Don't you think like she should get
right next to camera
539
00:32:57,809 --> 00:32:59,394
-So I can come in faster?
-COOGLER: Yeah.
540
00:33:01,604 --> 00:33:04,399
TONEY: There's more weight,
and so when that translates,
541
00:33:05,024 --> 00:33:06,859
you get something very special.
542
00:33:12,073 --> 00:33:15,284
GURIRA: In Okoye's mind,
there's no one who's gonna top her
543
00:33:15,785 --> 00:33:17,078
in regards to combat.
544
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:20,498
Doesn't matter what their size is,
545
00:33:20,581 --> 00:33:23,543
it doesn't matter
what their musculature is.
546
00:33:23,626 --> 00:33:26,129
It's like I'm too skilled to be taken down
547
00:33:26,212 --> 00:33:28,589
by y'all who just came off
of a killer whale's back.
548
00:33:28,965 --> 00:33:31,134
Cute, but let me just get to work.
549
00:33:32,301 --> 00:33:34,220
So that's how she thinks, you know.
550
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:37,473
Take another step closer...
551
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:40,518
and I will kill you all.
552
00:33:44,564 --> 00:33:47,191
I really wanted
to make Attuma just bigger
553
00:33:47,275 --> 00:33:52,155
than everybody else physically,
to create that intimidating size.
554
00:33:53,406 --> 00:33:56,242
So, yeah, a lot of working out
and a lot of eating,
555
00:33:56,325 --> 00:33:59,871
I was eating like, every ten seconds.
556
00:33:59,954 --> 00:34:03,416
You know, I was consuming
about 6,000 calories a day
557
00:34:03,499 --> 00:34:04,667
and I gained 30 pounds.
558
00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:09,881
They're gonna see Attuma be large,
look intimidating, but be swift.
559
00:34:13,801 --> 00:34:15,261
Danai is gonna be different.
560
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:23,811
She has to be extremely tactical
about how she attacks,
561
00:34:24,103 --> 00:34:26,856
because this guy is extremely powerful.
562
00:34:26,939 --> 00:34:28,858
So you're gonna see her calculating.
563
00:34:31,778 --> 00:34:32,862
You're gonna see her...
564
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,656
rarely on the ropes,
565
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:38,117
but you're gonna see
a little vulnerability here.
566
00:34:39,327 --> 00:34:41,454
She's never faced anyone like this before.
567
00:34:48,419 --> 00:34:52,340
With Okoye, what I was deeply attracted to
568
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:58,262
was, from the jump, Ryan was very clear
about how he wanted her to be.
569
00:35:00,264 --> 00:35:02,642
And then, kinda going like this.
570
00:35:03,726 --> 00:35:06,312
GURIRA: And the way,
the idea of her being a general
571
00:35:06,395 --> 00:35:08,397
the idea of the Dora Milaje
572
00:35:08,481 --> 00:35:11,692
and then,
the traditionalism of who she was
573
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:16,072
was definitely something that
really helped me anchor her.
574
00:35:16,614 --> 00:35:21,828
'Cause her connection to her country
was so, so passionate.
575
00:35:21,911 --> 00:35:24,747
This is a woman
who actually really enjoys her life.
576
00:35:24,831 --> 00:35:28,501
And she loves
being a Wakandan more than anything.
577
00:35:28,584 --> 00:35:32,046
But you know, when you're being told
you can't be a soldier anymore,
578
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,549
and that's all you've been
that's all you know,
579
00:35:34,632 --> 00:35:38,636
that's definitely... a dark corridor.
580
00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:41,556
But that's the arc she has to take.
581
00:35:42,431 --> 00:35:45,226
She never thought she'd
do anything but die for Wakanda,
582
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:48,020
you know, in that uniform.
583
00:35:48,729 --> 00:35:52,191
But when that's taken off,
now who are you?
584
00:35:52,275 --> 00:35:54,819
And that's what she has to find
585
00:35:54,902 --> 00:35:58,781
and that's what she... ultimately finds
with the Midnight Angels.
586
00:36:00,408 --> 00:36:03,494
I'm excited about
the cultures celebrated in this film,
587
00:36:03,578 --> 00:36:07,748
I'm excited about the new characters
that will be introduced to the world.
588
00:36:07,832 --> 00:36:11,627
Especially to see
how Dominique's portrayal of Riri
589
00:36:11,711 --> 00:36:13,546
come alive, it's so beautiful because...
590
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:15,798
Riri is now in Africa
591
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:19,093
and Riri is now
a reflection of T'Challa's decision.
592
00:36:19,177 --> 00:36:21,929
She is a result
of T'Challa's decision in saying
593
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:25,516
we're gonna open our borders,
we're gonna help.
594
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:27,810
We must find a way...
595
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:30,354
to look after one another...
596
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:35,151
as if we were one, single tribe.
597
00:36:35,234 --> 00:36:36,986
When we were making the first film,
598
00:36:37,069 --> 00:36:39,280
one of the things
that we kept talking about
599
00:36:39,363 --> 00:36:42,200
is that, yes,
Wakandan is extremely African, right?
600
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:45,036
But, in terms of their mentality,
601
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,914
because they are,
"on top of the world,"
602
00:36:47,997 --> 00:36:49,916
they are only concerned with themselves.
603
00:36:49,999 --> 00:36:52,251
And in a sense,
that's a reflection of America.
604
00:36:52,335 --> 00:36:57,548
I believe I speak for
all the member states here...
605
00:36:59,133 --> 00:37:04,013
when I say that I am deeply
disappointed in Wakanda's failure.
606
00:37:04,513 --> 00:37:08,935
So, in our narrative, Wakanda is that.
607
00:37:09,018 --> 00:37:12,063
And what Riri does for us
608
00:37:12,146 --> 00:37:16,150
is open up Wakanda
for us to be able to relate
609
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:21,155
and for other people
to be able to see other perspectives.
610
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,407
Riri, I love all that she represents
611
00:37:23,491 --> 00:37:26,369
and Dominique herself
is extremely impressive.
612
00:37:26,452 --> 00:37:27,912
She's the daughter of immigrants,
613
00:37:27,995 --> 00:37:30,248
first child to go to college
in her whole family,
614
00:37:30,331 --> 00:37:33,918
she just graduated
from Cornell herself in the sciences,
615
00:37:34,001 --> 00:37:36,545
and she's playing this role,
I think that's so cool,
616
00:37:36,629 --> 00:37:37,797
like, it gets me teary-eyed.
617
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:38,965
Hey.
618
00:37:39,048 --> 00:37:41,676
The poetry of it is
that's actually who's playing it.
619
00:37:41,759 --> 00:37:42,969
You forgot to Venmo me.
620
00:37:43,344 --> 00:37:45,554
It slipped my mind.
It's eight hundred, right?
621
00:37:46,681 --> 00:37:49,600
Eight hundred was yesterday's price.
It's a band today.
622
00:37:50,309 --> 00:37:52,103
My name is Dominique Thorne.
623
00:37:52,186 --> 00:37:55,481
Dominique auditioned
for Shuri for the first movie.
624
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:58,693
The particles absorb the kinetic energy
625
00:37:58,776 --> 00:38:01,237
and hold it in place for redistribution.
626
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,864
And we really liked her
and we thought she was smart
627
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:06,284
and she has a great presence
and she is funny
628
00:38:06,367 --> 00:38:09,245
and she has a lot of attitude
but we remembered that audition.
629
00:38:09,328 --> 00:38:12,540
Old tech. Functional, but old.
630
00:38:13,165 --> 00:38:17,420
Oh! People are shooting at me.
Wait, guys, let me put on my helmet.
631
00:38:17,503 --> 00:38:22,008
And so when we decided to put
Riri Williams into Wakanda Forever,
632
00:38:22,091 --> 00:38:23,759
she was the first and only call.
633
00:38:26,053 --> 00:38:30,099
DUKE: This is her foray
into coming into something
634
00:38:30,182 --> 00:38:34,228
that felt really established
and like, we all had our own relationships
635
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:39,066
and she came in strong,
holding her own, very prepared,
636
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:43,446
and just willing to go toe to toe
with everyone and that's her character.
637
00:38:45,698 --> 00:38:46,991
Yo, we got him.
638
00:38:47,074 --> 00:38:51,912
It felt like stepping into a family,
stepping into someone's home.
639
00:38:52,204 --> 00:38:54,457
Please show Miss Williams
where she's working.
640
00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:55,666
WOMAN: Right this way.
641
00:38:55,958 --> 00:38:59,545
And wanting to enter in
with the utmost respect
642
00:38:59,628 --> 00:39:04,842
and reverence for what it is
and what they've done.
643
00:39:04,925 --> 00:39:09,555
But it was also exciting
because sort of, Riri's presence there
644
00:39:09,638 --> 00:39:12,475
along with these new characters
meant that there was more
645
00:39:13,267 --> 00:39:15,728
to be found, more to explore.
646
00:39:15,811 --> 00:39:19,231
It was very, very fun and beautiful
647
00:39:19,315 --> 00:39:24,028
to sort of, go on that ride
with the folks who know the place best.
648
00:39:24,904 --> 00:39:29,992
CARTER: You see that in the story,
Riri builds this machine
649
00:39:30,076 --> 00:39:32,370
that Shuri is very impressed by,
650
00:39:32,453 --> 00:39:35,915
and it flies and it shoots
and it does all kinds of things.
651
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:40,127
MAN: Three, two, one and blast.
652
00:39:43,339 --> 00:39:45,174
GRIOT: Oxygen, 0%.
653
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:52,681
CARTER: And it's also
a very difficult costume to craft.
654
00:39:52,765 --> 00:39:55,976
It's actually, you know, put together
655
00:39:56,060 --> 00:40:00,815
through some mold work but also,
you know, there's metal work there
656
00:40:00,898 --> 00:40:05,945
and it's also a costume
of all kinds of mechanical parts.
657
00:40:06,529 --> 00:40:10,991
And you can imagine the plethora of pieces
that would go into a costume like that.
658
00:40:11,534 --> 00:40:14,537
They were all discussed
over many multiple meetings.
659
00:40:15,287 --> 00:40:18,791
What these cannons do,
what her armpieces do,
660
00:40:18,874 --> 00:40:20,626
how she moves about.
661
00:40:20,709 --> 00:40:24,630
There were so many elements
to that costume that had to be sussed out.
662
00:40:24,713 --> 00:40:26,757
It's such a smart build because
663
00:40:26,841 --> 00:40:31,011
as heavy and as bulky as it is,
all of my joints are free
664
00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:34,598
and so I could step, I could walk,
I could wave, I could squat.
665
00:40:34,682 --> 00:40:39,437
I could do all the things,
but just with this extra weight on.
666
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,565
I think it's probably
most comparable to football gear,
667
00:40:42,648 --> 00:40:45,484
is what a lot of folks
were comparing it to.
668
00:40:45,568 --> 00:40:50,072
And I definitely do feel like,
"Yeah, like, I'm ready for anything now,"
669
00:40:50,156 --> 00:40:52,158
you know,
which is a great feeling.
670
00:40:52,533 --> 00:40:55,995
MAN: On my call, in three,
two, one, action.
671
00:40:58,456 --> 00:40:59,623
MAN: Cut it. Cut, cut.
672
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:01,292
You all right?
673
00:41:02,084 --> 00:41:04,295
But the Mark II is where we get to see
674
00:41:04,378 --> 00:41:09,717
that sort of, Wakandan flair
sort of, rub off on Riri.
675
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,635
It has a much sleeker design.
676
00:41:12,970 --> 00:41:15,681
There were a lot
of discussions about how closely
677
00:41:15,764 --> 00:41:19,059
it would relate to the Iron Man costume.
678
00:41:19,685 --> 00:41:23,355
And Ryan wanted it to be Chicago Bulls red
679
00:41:23,439 --> 00:41:25,858
and we moved the heart to the side,
680
00:41:26,275 --> 00:41:29,945
but only half
of the costume actually was built.
681
00:41:30,029 --> 00:41:33,407
We built a maquette, which is like a doll,
which was the full size
682
00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:36,535
that they're able
to use with visual effects.
683
00:41:37,328 --> 00:41:40,748
There was a kind of movie magic
that went on with that costume
684
00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:46,170
because it had to perform, you know,
such fantastical things in the air,
685
00:41:46,253 --> 00:41:48,964
and spin and dive and all kinds of stuff
686
00:41:49,048 --> 00:41:52,092
that she would not have
been able to do in a full costume.
687
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,970
Old tech, functional but old.
688
00:41:55,054 --> 00:41:58,474
People are shooting at me.
Wait, let me put on my helmet.
689
00:41:58,557 --> 00:42:00,809
For now, tell it to go on.
690
00:42:00,893 --> 00:42:02,895
Once we realized
what the movie was gonna be,
691
00:42:02,978 --> 00:42:05,606
this version of the movie was gonna be,
692
00:42:06,607 --> 00:42:09,777
I realized that it was
a unique opportunity for me as a creative
693
00:42:09,902 --> 00:42:14,114
to have a protagonist just go on
like, a transformative arc.
694
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:16,534
I'm not my brother.
695
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:20,037
Namor will beg me for mercy...
696
00:42:21,288 --> 00:42:23,207
and I will stand and watch as he dies.
697
00:42:23,832 --> 00:42:27,127
You know, I was thankful
that Letitia's such an amazing actress,
698
00:42:27,253 --> 00:42:29,922
'cause this is not
the role that she auditioned for.
699
00:42:30,506 --> 00:42:33,050
We were really blessed
in terms of her being that versatile
700
00:42:33,133 --> 00:42:36,387
that she could make you believe
that she was that younger sister
701
00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:39,932
who could have fun, you know,
with T'Challa and rib him,
702
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:42,935
and feel youthful and like
she was full of love and light.
703
00:42:43,018 --> 00:42:46,105
And then become this character,
which is a totally different thing.
704
00:42:47,565 --> 00:42:49,775
Was the herb not destroyed?
705
00:42:49,858 --> 00:42:52,695
Yes, I recreated it.
706
00:42:54,530 --> 00:42:55,531
With science?
707
00:42:56,448 --> 00:42:57,449
Yes.
708
00:42:57,533 --> 00:42:58,784
MOORE: For us as storytellers,
709
00:42:58,867 --> 00:43:04,456
I think Ramonda's passing was important
in bringing Shuri to her lowest,
710
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:08,836
and really breaking down this girl
whose spirit seemed unbreakable,
711
00:43:08,919 --> 00:43:11,755
to see what the breaking point might be.
712
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:15,050
I just buried the last person
who truly knew me.
713
00:43:18,846 --> 00:43:20,306
My heart was buried with her.
714
00:43:20,973 --> 00:43:22,891
It was not a decision we made lightly
715
00:43:22,975 --> 00:43:26,645
because Ramonda's a fantastic character
and Angela Basset is a talented actress
716
00:43:27,271 --> 00:43:28,939
and a part of the family.
717
00:43:29,356 --> 00:43:30,357
Shuri.
718
00:43:31,025 --> 00:43:32,318
Show him...
719
00:43:32,818 --> 00:43:34,069
who you are.
720
00:43:35,821 --> 00:43:36,864
COOGLER: Okay, cut.
721
00:43:36,947 --> 00:43:37,948
MAN: Cut it.
722
00:43:42,786 --> 00:43:44,371
WRIGHT: I'll be very honest.
723
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:49,877
When I read that Ramonda
was going to die by the hands of Namor,
724
00:43:50,669 --> 00:43:52,087
I was very upset.
725
00:43:52,171 --> 00:43:54,798
I think I almost cried
on the phone to Ryan.
726
00:43:54,882 --> 00:43:58,093
I was kinda like,
"What are you doing? What is this?"
727
00:43:58,677 --> 00:44:00,679
I'm so sorry about your mom.
728
00:44:00,763 --> 00:44:02,056
BASSETT: I guess it's...
729
00:44:04,475 --> 00:44:09,647
When you take an audience on a journey,
it's like you gotta grab them by the heart
730
00:44:09,730 --> 00:44:13,442
and rip it out of them,
I suppose, but I was...
731
00:44:13,525 --> 00:44:15,194
It took me a moment,
732
00:44:15,277 --> 00:44:18,280
I had to process it,
I had to get over it.
733
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,451
For Ramonda, here's a woman
who has been girded by loss,
734
00:44:22,534 --> 00:44:26,330
who has become a very,
very successful queen of Wakanda,
735
00:44:26,413 --> 00:44:29,458
and has done a great job in defending
her nation from all comers.
736
00:44:29,625 --> 00:44:33,337
And yet, her daughter is suffering from
depression over the loss of her brother
737
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:36,465
and it's Ramonda's job to try
and pull Shuri out of this place
738
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:40,344
and let her see that there is the
potential to move forward through loss.
739
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:43,389
When that illness
took your brother from us...
740
00:44:43,472 --> 00:44:47,476
I had to lead a wounded nation
and a broken world.
741
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:50,270
But I still took time in the bush.
742
00:44:51,397 --> 00:44:55,401
My most precious resource
is my daughter at this point.
743
00:44:56,777 --> 00:45:00,280
You can imagine
with her husband and her son gone,
744
00:45:00,572 --> 00:45:04,827
that her embrace is that much,
you know, tighter around Shuri.
745
00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:07,830
Physically, emotionally,
mentally, spiritually.
746
00:45:07,913 --> 00:45:10,082
And that's what a mother does,
747
00:45:10,165 --> 00:45:12,710
she does sacrifice
her life for her kids, you know,
748
00:45:12,793 --> 00:45:15,587
and being a mother,
I know this all too well,
749
00:45:15,671 --> 00:45:17,297
we'll do anything for them.
750
00:45:17,965 --> 00:45:19,383
WRIGHT: As we were doing it,
751
00:45:20,092 --> 00:45:23,846
I realized, it did inspire Shuri's arc.
752
00:45:23,929 --> 00:45:29,309
It did really inspire...
that thirst for vengeance
753
00:45:29,393 --> 00:45:33,063
that you'll see when Shuri
takes on the Black Panther mantle.
754
00:45:37,943 --> 00:45:41,405
Very early on,
Ryan explained to me where he was at
755
00:45:41,488 --> 00:45:43,699
and he asked me where I was at.
756
00:45:43,782 --> 00:45:48,120
And he felt really strongly
that Chadwick would want us to continue.
757
00:45:48,203 --> 00:45:53,709
He slowly explained to me
how we can honor Chad in this film,
758
00:45:53,792 --> 00:45:57,713
and how we can honor
what was created by us as a family
759
00:45:58,547 --> 00:46:01,258
and I started to realize
what he was saying.
760
00:46:01,341 --> 00:46:04,136
And it was for me,
like a bittersweet experience
761
00:46:04,219 --> 00:46:07,723
because Shuri does become
the Black Panther in the comic books.
762
00:46:07,806 --> 00:46:13,645
But like, I didn't have
my brother to pass the torch to me.
763
00:46:14,354 --> 00:46:15,481
So...
764
00:46:17,316 --> 00:46:21,153
I had to, kinda like, process that.
765
00:46:21,862 --> 00:46:26,950
And once I felt at peace
that it was the right thing,
766
00:46:27,034 --> 00:46:30,078
I accepted and I said
to Ryan, I'll do my best.
767
00:46:30,162 --> 00:46:33,749
And I made a commitment, I was like,
I'll honor God and I'll honor Chad.
768
00:46:41,089 --> 00:46:44,885
When I put the panther suit on,
it was a surreal moment.
769
00:46:44,968 --> 00:46:46,386
I did feel pretty cool
770
00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:51,558
and they incorporated
a few Shuri elements from the first film.
771
00:46:51,642 --> 00:46:56,063
So Shuri had gauntlets and they kind of,
incorporated those into her suit.
772
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:58,607
Essentially, we were working
with the design language of
773
00:46:58,690 --> 00:47:01,151
silver being representative of T'Challa,
774
00:47:01,235 --> 00:47:03,320
gold being representative of T'Chaka,
775
00:47:03,403 --> 00:47:06,114
and the little bit of where
Killmonger's coming from.
776
00:47:06,198 --> 00:47:08,826
And Shuri's design, we're essentially
taking those two elements
777
00:47:08,909 --> 00:47:09,952
and combining them.
778
00:47:10,035 --> 00:47:13,455
So that she is taking what works
from each one of those methodologies
779
00:47:13,539 --> 00:47:16,750
and making them intertwine
into her Black Panther suit.
780
00:47:16,875 --> 00:47:20,295
Finding her own voice with the things
781
00:47:20,712 --> 00:47:23,465
My first day in the suit,
I did feel really nervous.
782
00:47:24,091 --> 00:47:27,344
I was like, am I meant
to walk like this, talk like this?
783
00:47:27,427 --> 00:47:29,930
And I just kept hearing
my brother saying like,
784
00:47:30,013 --> 00:47:32,975
"Calm down. It's cool, don't worry.
785
00:47:33,058 --> 00:47:36,478
"And just keep going,
just keep walking and just be confident.
786
00:47:36,562 --> 00:47:38,063
"Just be confident."
787
00:47:42,693 --> 00:47:45,654
MAN: And here it comes,
back at you and... Duck!
788
00:47:48,824 --> 00:47:49,908
COOGLER: And... duck.
789
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:52,744
Nice. Nice, nice.
Much more like that, okay?
790
00:47:53,161 --> 00:47:56,164
DENISON: When you choreograph
a giant scene like that third act battle,
791
00:47:56,248 --> 00:48:00,419
you read the script,
you're just drinking out of the firehose.
792
00:48:00,502 --> 00:48:02,296
How're we gonna get this action done?
793
00:48:02,379 --> 00:48:04,631
But then you start
breaking it down piece by piece.
794
00:48:04,715 --> 00:48:05,924
What are the main beats?
795
00:48:08,844 --> 00:48:10,053
They come out of the water.
796
00:48:16,393 --> 00:48:18,020
They climb the side of the ship.
797
00:48:19,521 --> 00:48:23,400
The Dora come off and then you
have to just fine tune things from there.
798
00:48:23,483 --> 00:48:26,862
So, we had these huge days
like, 50 plus performers,
799
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,116
we've got a crane up,
we have warriors coming up,
800
00:48:31,199 --> 00:48:33,452
doing organic falls,
there's lines everywhere.
801
00:48:33,535 --> 00:48:34,536
It gets tough.
802
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:35,662
Go.
803
00:48:35,746 --> 00:48:37,915
DAVID HUGGHINS:
They have to make sure they're committed.
804
00:48:37,998 --> 00:48:42,419
Once a person commits to the jump,
they've gone beyond the point of return,
805
00:48:42,502 --> 00:48:46,214
they're out there, you can release 'em
bring 'em down at whatever speed you want.
806
00:48:46,673 --> 00:48:50,218
We also have to make sure
that in the choreographing of that scene,
807
00:48:50,302 --> 00:48:51,720
we gotta have people climbing up
808
00:48:51,803 --> 00:48:54,848
in a way that they're
out of the way when they're running down
809
00:48:54,932 --> 00:48:57,225
so they're not hit by accident.
810
00:48:57,309 --> 00:48:59,019
Everybody has to know where they're at.
811
00:48:59,102 --> 00:49:03,148
It's like a dance, everybody needs
to know exactly what step they're on.
812
00:49:04,399 --> 00:49:07,611
Are you ready to bathe in the blood
of Wakanda's enemies?
813
00:49:13,742 --> 00:49:19,039
With some really great training,
it's just the physicality of the Jabari,
814
00:49:19,122 --> 00:49:21,959
where you get to dive
a little bit more into that.
815
00:49:24,169 --> 00:49:26,713
There will be no climbing here.
816
00:49:26,797 --> 00:49:29,341
The fight training was really incredible
817
00:49:29,424 --> 00:49:33,637
and I always try to make
M'Baku feel like a strong man
818
00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:36,890
instead of like, a bodybuilder
or a guy that's about aesthetic.
819
00:49:36,974 --> 00:49:40,894
So, like, he has
a lot of weight culturally on his back.
820
00:49:41,269 --> 00:49:42,854
And he carries it with pride.
821
00:49:44,398 --> 00:49:48,110
And that's a really big part
of what defines the character.
822
00:49:51,196 --> 00:49:52,322
MAN: Follow the chart.
823
00:49:58,453 --> 00:49:59,871
TONEY: Shuri versus Namor.
824
00:49:59,955 --> 00:50:02,541
We put a lot into that fight.
825
00:50:12,426 --> 00:50:16,513
And it's got a lot of heart and
there's so much weight behind this moment,
826
00:50:16,596 --> 00:50:20,392
because you don't see
a lot of Shuri, you know, in action.
827
00:50:20,475 --> 00:50:23,687
So, when you do, it's gotta be impactful.
828
00:50:23,770 --> 00:50:24,771
Go!
829
00:50:25,856 --> 00:50:27,649
WRIGHT: Yeah, it's a great payoff.
830
00:50:27,733 --> 00:50:28,734
I'm so proud of it.
831
00:50:28,817 --> 00:50:31,445
And Shuri's looking amazing,
Namor's looking amazing.
832
00:50:34,322 --> 00:50:36,783
But something that is
very important to take into account
833
00:50:37,117 --> 00:50:38,535
was that Shuri is smart.
834
00:50:38,618 --> 00:50:41,079
She uses her mind
before she uses her body.
835
00:50:41,163 --> 00:50:45,208
There isn't a lot of flash,
there is more calculation.
836
00:50:48,754 --> 00:50:51,506
With Namor,
when it came to fighting styles,
837
00:50:51,590 --> 00:50:56,219
I pulled from not only sort of,
cultural aspects like Lucha Libre
838
00:50:56,303 --> 00:50:59,765
the sort of ball game that
they go out and play with their bodies,
839
00:50:59,848 --> 00:51:02,100
but also I pulled from Asian cultures.
840
00:51:02,476 --> 00:51:04,478
I pulled from a style called Baji
841
00:51:04,561 --> 00:51:09,024
and Baji is a style
that focusses on grounding your body
842
00:51:09,107 --> 00:51:11,109
while delivering shoulder strikes,
843
00:51:12,444 --> 00:51:15,197
elbow strikes,
so you're gonna see Namor do things
844
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,449
that are unorthodox,
845
00:51:17,532 --> 00:51:19,743
but effective because
he is the person he is.
846
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:26,792
Namor is more like, yeah,
the fight is not an explosion,
847
00:51:26,875 --> 00:51:30,087
it's little by little,
you know, he's more in control.
848
00:51:31,379 --> 00:51:34,716
TONEY: It was fun to play around
with the wings, you know,
849
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,676
special, sort of like, quick attacks.
850
00:51:37,135 --> 00:51:38,470
Or him boosting.
851
00:51:40,097 --> 00:51:42,766
But also, they said,
can we rip the wings off?
852
00:51:45,018 --> 00:51:48,605
They grow back, he'll be fine,
but it gives you an opportunity
853
00:51:48,688 --> 00:51:53,193
to humanize this God-like character
and make him come to her.
854
00:51:53,276 --> 00:51:55,987
And so that's
playing to Shuri being smart.
855
00:52:09,084 --> 00:52:10,252
COOGLER: Shuri, look at me.
856
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:15,423
See your Ma.
857
00:52:16,424 --> 00:52:17,801
Call out to her.
858
00:52:19,886 --> 00:52:21,096
Mother.
859
00:52:21,721 --> 00:52:22,848
COOGLER: It's time to show him.
860
00:52:25,642 --> 00:52:27,060
Time to show him who we are.
861
00:52:27,686 --> 00:52:28,854
Go get him.
862
00:52:33,984 --> 00:52:35,152
Go get him.
863
00:52:36,862 --> 00:52:38,071
Make him pay.
864
00:52:46,788 --> 00:52:49,249
WRIGHT: For Shuri, it's kind of like
a coming of age moment
865
00:52:49,332 --> 00:52:54,421
where she's thinking that,
processing in a way of violence.
866
00:52:54,504 --> 00:52:55,505
Wakanda forever!
867
00:53:00,177 --> 00:53:04,764
Processing in a way
of expressing her pain and her fury
868
00:53:05,473 --> 00:53:09,436
towards Namor, she thinks that's gonna
be satisfying to her soul and it's not.
869
00:53:10,270 --> 00:53:13,773
And I think that's
a beautiful way to complete that arc.
870
00:53:13,857 --> 00:53:17,861
To realize that,
wait, my brother wouldn't do this.
871
00:53:17,944 --> 00:53:19,779
You know,
my mother wouldn't want this for me.
872
00:53:19,863 --> 00:53:23,366
And she learns from that
and she becomes a woman,
873
00:53:23,450 --> 00:53:27,579
you know, we see Shuri
become a woman in her own right.
874
00:53:37,464 --> 00:53:41,593
Sometimes life imitates art
and art imitates life.
875
00:53:41,676 --> 00:53:46,681
And I feel that this movie,
the art is imitating life.
876
00:53:49,017 --> 00:53:51,895
DUKE: This is a movie about loss...
877
00:53:53,980 --> 00:53:57,609
and about growth,
and about pain
878
00:53:57,692 --> 00:54:01,112
and the transformation
that happens as a result.
879
00:54:02,113 --> 00:54:03,240
COOGLER: More than anything,
880
00:54:03,949 --> 00:54:06,451
different people
will get different things out of it.
881
00:54:07,494 --> 00:54:10,830
Hopefully you see something in it
and it speaks to you in a way that...
882
00:54:12,123 --> 00:54:14,251
deals with things that you've been
883
00:54:14,334 --> 00:54:16,544
wrestling with
consciously or subconsciously.
884
00:54:16,628 --> 00:54:19,881
Ladies and gentlemen, that's a picture
finish on Miss Angela Basset.
885
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,010
Ryan has such a big heart
and such a great storyteller
886
00:54:24,094 --> 00:54:28,014
and within the storytelling,
what Ryan has done
887
00:54:28,098 --> 00:54:30,642
gives lightness and joy to our sadness.
888
00:54:30,725 --> 00:54:34,229
MAN: Picture wrap of Mr. Winston Duke,
ladies and gentlemen.
889
00:54:34,312 --> 00:54:36,439
We did it, man.
890
00:54:36,523 --> 00:54:39,567
MAN: It's also a picture finish
on Ms. Lupita Nyong'o.
891
00:54:41,736 --> 00:54:45,031
COOGLER: After Panther one,
what I was most excited about
892
00:54:45,115 --> 00:54:47,617
was seeing everybody
who I worked on the first one with,
893
00:54:47,701 --> 00:54:49,286
'cause we'd become like family.
894
00:54:49,869 --> 00:54:51,454
And then we lost Chad.
895
00:54:52,914 --> 00:54:56,167
And it kinda changed
everything for this one, you know.
896
00:54:57,919 --> 00:55:02,382
It just became bigger in a way
that was unexpected for all of us.
897
00:55:03,008 --> 00:55:04,551
WRIGHT: Having the support of Ryan,
898
00:55:05,885 --> 00:55:10,724
he just confidently, always would say,
"Hey, Tish, like, you could do this."
899
00:55:11,141 --> 00:55:13,268
And just pushing me forward each day.
900
00:55:14,477 --> 00:55:16,438
You gotta keep inspiring people.
901
00:55:16,521 --> 00:55:19,983
And I'm praying
that that will be the result for Shuri,
902
00:55:20,066 --> 00:55:23,445
that as she's growing and she's evolving,
903
00:55:23,528 --> 00:55:25,905
that later down the line we can be like,
904
00:55:25,989 --> 00:55:27,657
"Wow, that's a great woman,
905
00:55:27,741 --> 00:55:31,453
"that's a great example
to so many people in the world."
906
00:55:32,704 --> 00:55:35,707
COOGLER: From our family to yours,
we just wanna say thank you.
907
00:55:35,790 --> 00:55:39,294
Deeply. Deeply, deeply, deeply,
for taking care of this story,
908
00:55:39,377 --> 00:55:41,212
for taking care of me, taking care of us.
909
00:55:42,005 --> 00:55:45,300
And you guys allowed me to heal,
from something that was really...
910
00:56:03,234 --> 00:56:06,363
From something that was difficult.
So, thank you for that.
911
00:56:06,738 --> 00:56:09,032
Wakanda forever. Líik'ik Talokan.
912
00:56:09,449 --> 00:56:10,700
Love you guys, thank you.
913
00:56:16,623 --> 00:56:20,835
I think part
of the reason you make this movie
914
00:56:20,919 --> 00:56:22,545
is it changes perspective.
915
00:56:24,422 --> 00:56:26,966
People can see
a superhero in a different light.
916
00:56:27,050 --> 00:56:30,387
A different worldview, and to be
a part of that is a special thing.
