DANGEROUS 1814

My approach is always the same. I try to be as honest as possible. Find the real honesty and humanity in the character, because even a fictional character is supposed to feel real. And my job is to find that reality and bring it to the screen.

β€œI have wanted to be in the MCU since the MCU debuted. I didn’t even know what I was auditioning for. And so they sent notes like, β€œJust overact. It’s okay, just go for it.” So, I was like, β€œOkay.” And I did some very great overacting. They called, and they were like, β€œHey, you got the part.” And I’m like, β€œWhat part? What’s the part?” Before they even told me what it was, I said to my agent, I was like, β€œOh my gosh, what if it’s Monica Rambeau?” And then it was Monica Rambeau, and I lost it. And I practically tried to jump off a set of stairs β€˜cause I thought I could fly. I was so excited.”

Toni Morrison: Nobel Prize-winning author dies at 88

President Obama remembered Morrison on Tuesday as β€œa national treasure” who was β€œas good a storyteller, as captivating, in person as she was on the page”.

β€œHer writing was a beautiful, meaningful challenge to our conscience and our moral imagination,” he said. β€œWhat a gift to breathe the same air as her, if only for a while.”

β€œSomething that is loved is never lost.” ― Toni Morrison, Beloved
