These roundtables are definitely the best format I've ever seen for any kind of celebrity interview. We get the privilege of watching these "greats" learn from each other in real time, while inviting promising newcomers into their orbit. Both this and Variety's Actors on Actors are wonderful platforms for these stars to ditch the vanity and celebrity for a bit and simply sit and geek out about their craft. It showcases the artistry, the struggle, and most importantly, the humanity behind the magic of filmmaking.
I love everyone’s excitement when someone makes a point because they can relate to it. It’s like having 6 fast food workers from 6 different places and the topic of Grease burns come up. Beautiful conversation.
@@vee4687 Great analogy, this happens with people in Customer Service as well, if you’ve had to work with people via phone or in person we can talk for days, there’s so much we relate to, its unreal.
Keaton said to Oscar 41:31 'You know what, you don't have a choice', what a script and delivered with Keaton's typical intensity and gazing into Oscar.
I love the way that Samuel L. Jackson is making a point to include Quincy in the conversation. Now that's an example of having wisdom and experience yet still putting ego to the side to support the young upcoming generation.
I agree with Brian, this too shall pass. Nothing in this industry will survive unless it’s embraced by the public, and the majority do not welcome influencers getting parts solely due to a large social media following. Soon enough, studios will realize that they’re better off casting people based on talent, and not popularity.
Having training in acting and been on a handful of auditions if I’m asked what social medias do I have and what are my follower numbers and view counts I won’t read the part and walk away, I won’t get rude to the room or anything like that and it may hinder me going forward but it just doesn’t sit right with me
The industry never turns down the opportunity for a quick buck. Influencers have a harder time to be convincing in a role due to the lack of mystery. Studios will hire them to put butts in seats but their performance can sometimes feel like a weird cameo. I feel similar about many nostalgia based remakes and sequels.
But that wasn't Brian's point at all. He was pointing out that social media will stop being as important, that the public's opinion will matter less. You could see the others argue with that politely (and I agree -- I think social opinion is here to stay) but it's an interesting point of view.
@@rachelauguste I agree with you. I hope it passes. But I think more and more industries are relying on influencers to get their name out and make more money. Like the Met Gala used to be restricted to distinguished celebrities but now more and more influencers are getting invited. And influencers like Liza Koshy are in Netflix shows even though their acting is mediocre at best.
I loved how they were interested in Quincy's experience to new fame and how to deal with it cause that's a very niche experience for them. Also, you gotta love how funny Michael Keaton is, truly a stand up comic at heart. I wish he'd have continued doing stand up.
I think this is the first time I am seeing actors invited to a prestigious Hollywood reporter roundtable for thei work in comic book IP shows. It's impressive to see their roles represented and spotlighted on the same platform as everyone else especially cuz comic book shows and movies are still looked down at by a large section of Hollywood as being inferior to everything else.
Nikita Mohanan - I think they’re looked down on cos they’re for the majority - popcorn movies - rarely are any actually astounding. And that’s from someone who actually likes comic books
Micheal Keaton has such a magnetic personality and aura. You dont realize it until you sit back and look at the effect he has on you when he's acting , or talking.. etc. A throwback movie star.
Tom understands that listening is so much more valuable than getting a word in. The quality of experience in this round table is too phenomenal to care about being cut off.
It's Tom Hiddleston leaning in to hear Micheal Keaton's BATMAN story that does it for me. Would like to see a Variety Actors on Actors with those too. 🥰 Also love that she asked a question I've always wondered about, what their line in the sand is in regards to what they WON'T do.
I really love Quincy's perspective on being recognised in public and learning to separate him from the character and what people perseive him as... it's probably going to give him a very healthy look on his work/life going forward. It also shows just the difference in behaviour between generations, very interesting.
What a life moment for Quincy, being able to get all this insight in such a short time from so many phenomenal actors. He’ll be big someday too, but wow how surreal that must’ve been for him.
@@jahverussell2642 he also mentioned it in some interviews about Scenes From A Marriage how he and Jessica Chastain would watch Succession to unwind from their intense acting in Scenes From A Marriage.
Tom’s poetic way of talking, in my opinion is simply amazing, he knows to take the simplest questions and turn them into something so interesting and so formal in a way
we just gotta pray until the Oscar roundtables come up bc that is when they use switch it up and have the gentleman who in previous video would cut off the actors/writers/directors
I love how Lacey interviews and always respects the flow of conversation. She's brilliant at these roundtables. She also seems genuinely interested in their storytelling. Great job.
Awesome round-table. I especially liked when Samuel L. Jackson mentioned that he had followed Michael Keaton's career. I've loved Michael Keaton since Mr. Mom. (I'm old).
Tom Hiddleston is so eloquent with such an angelic voice And so *humble* too, He is literally one of the most popular actors among these people but he often encourages them to talk about themselves and he is the one who complements others the most! so precious and sweet!
He's an introvert. He tends to listen more than speaking and I think he's very polite so he doesn't want to interrupt anybody. I relate to that hahahha
Everything Brian said from 33:39 to 35:33 about the power of the script was spot-on, and I love how candidly he expressed it. "If you don't have a script, you've got nothing." It's remarkable how easy it is to forgive other aspects of a production (including the overarching plot) if the script and dialogue are sharp, engaging, and naturalistic. On the other hand a bad (or even unimaginative) script is so noticeable and so pernicious that it drags everything else down with it (especially if those other aspects are well-executed, because then it feels like a tragic waste of effort.) Given the abundance of Marvel actors at this roundtable, it's ironic how much the Disney+ shows exemplify this problem. They all feature a massive budget, a murderer's row of brilliant actors, stunning production design, and film-caliber visuals, but the scripts are thinner than the paper they're printed on. You can very much see the actors "compensating", as Brian put it, for "someone else's lack of ability." In this case I wouldn't even pin it on the individual writers' abilities so much as the creative ceiling Marvel and Disney seem to be putting on these shows, as they're all so aggressively mediocre and formulaic. It's as if they've been straitjacketed from embracing the creative freedom allowed by the streaming-TV format.
Yeah it depends on the genre of film though. For the types of films he makes that is absolutely true. But take films like Fury Road, or Police Story, or the later Mission Impossible movies, and you'll notice that alot of those films start filming without a finished script. Sometimes without a script at all, and they figure it out and shape the plot around storyboards and set pieces. Now, are those movies written with dialogue that comes anywhere near a Shakespearean adaption or something, of course not. But they are entertaining just the same. Plus taste is entirely subjective anyway. But he's right for 99% of movies though. If you don't have a solid script, you lack a solid foundation.
@@Largentina. I agree. A well-made script is what makes movies better 99% of the time when directors/story experts don’t have to overcompensate. But every now and then, there are stories with little dialogue but powerfully displayed emotive visuals made possible, thanks to genius story tellers and directors with amazing vision (i.e. Fury Road and Blade Runner 2049).
Always love these roundtables, but this one may be the most thrilling yet. The excitement is tangible, their love for the craft could fill every theatre in the world!
This is just great, not only because of the incredible actors , but also for the journalist. She knows when and what to ask to everyone. She let them speak, does not interrupt anyone. Great interview mrs Rose 👏
Hiddleston is one of the greatest actors of this generation tbh. His acting is so transformative, shakespearean, evocative, and passionate - his characters convey so much with even just their eyebrows lmao
@@cgln4382 I don’t really watch James Bond. To me it was closer to Internal Affairs/The Departed. Which also ruled. Just on the edge of your seat the whole time 😳
I wanted Tom and Michael to hit on their Branagh and Shakespeare connection. Michael’s scene stealing performance in Much Ado never gets enough love. Same with Tom’s Prince Hal in Henry IV & V for Hollow Crown.
I remember as a kid being happily surprised by Keaton’s moment, because I was used to seeing him as Batman. 🙃 Hiddleston was born to play Shakespeare, he finds meaning in the words you never knew could be there. 😊
I watched this video mostly for Oscar and Tom but man that was slowly moving away to watching it just to hear interesting topics. It is literally an entire table of interesting actors from all around in the movie world
Tom Hiddleston is a legend. His portrayal is just masterpiece This man deserves Oscars! And Samuel? This man can't get old. I love him Thanks for the best conversion with the best actors ever!
Love everyone here except Quincy, simply because I had no clue who he was, but he's surprisingly one of the best parts of this roundtable. He seems like a really level-headed and genuine guy and it was really cool to get his perspective alongside the veterans and newer established stars.
26:13 Come on Tom ! You can do it ! Speak ! Express yourself ! Say what you want to say. Don't be afraid by interrupt others. Sam do that all along the interview 27:58 No Tom ! We believe in you ! Do not give up !! 28:05 YEAAAAAAAH !!! He did it !!! So proud of you !!
A lot of British people (not all) are overly polite and well mannered so interrupting others while they're speaking feels very uncomfortable and out of character.
the hollywood reporter has blessed us this morning! What a great group of gents to listen to and learn from. I don't think I could keep my composure like the host did!
Great conversation! Literally 3 generations of actors representing. Everyone listening and learning from eschewed other. Wow. Quincy is very lucky to have so many legends knowledge and advice first hand and him being smart to have preventive therapy to deal with what’s coming to him with this big breakthrough in his career. They weren’t condescending towards him being so young and having a real conversation about how the world is now in the industry and how it was etc. very interesting and enriching round table talk
I love the dynamic of this. Just all these titans telling Quincy their life lessons and him really using it to ask all the questions a young actor would want to know, while teaching them too.
These guys are legendary in my book. They’re kind and polite enough to share their experiences to us. And looking forward to see more Quincy. I wish I get to work any of these legends one on one in the set. 💫
What these roundtables offer most is perspective. They do the same job, but it's the perspectives they offer, different viewpoints that make this conversation riveting
One of my biggest takeaways here (and I’m only 70% through the video) is Tom’s description of how he brings a character to life. “He’s a brother. I know what that is.” He says. Quincy asked a great question and further added, himself, that he did just that when playing magic, by thinking about magic as a 20 something year old (something he could relate to the character with). There’s clearly a lot to take away here, but as someone who’s fascinated by both the writing and acting aspect of shows and movies, that was amazing to listen to.
"He has a brother, I know what that is." "I know what it's like to be 20 years old." Reminded me of Liam Neeson when he said he drew from writing shopping lists when he played in Schindlers List. And he said it to make acting sound like a complete banality. So I guess in that way it was fascinating..
What Tom said at 37:15 seems to explain much of the MCU's success with creating memorable and consistently effective stories. Rather than trying to play the "superhero", the actors look for the nearest archetypes they can find in ordinary human life and then lean into that, which makes the characters feel relatable and believable (especially amidst their fantastical and larger-than-life adventures).
I’ve rewatched this a couple of times and I really wish we had heard more from Oscar! IMO, he’s certainly one of the best, if not the best actor at this table. He’s so underrated, his nuances when acting are incredible x
Man I went to college with quincy, though he was a year ahead of me and we were both involved in our theater program (i was doing it for fun whereas he was in it for his studies). So deserved for him to be where he is and also so surreal because I remember watching him act in his first major role in our spring play at our school in 2018, which wasn't so long ago. I didn't know him very well but he was much adored by many students. Especially his talent. It is so weird to see him amongst all these guys. Would never have imagined this a couple years ago. Also Steven Yueng from walking dead went to my school as well.
You gotta love how humble and kind Tom is, dude is just taking in all the information Samuel taking about not being typecast. I don’t want that for him at all l don’t think it will happen but l know I’m his mind he’s thinking about that hahah. He was awesome in King Kong and Crimson Peak.
This is one of the best roundtable sessions, everyone is exceptional, sharing themselves, very genuine and so thoughtful. Easy, interesting conversation, thanks for putting this group together.
I hope young actors are truly watching these interviews...they're so enlightening & full of gems. I'm not even an actor & I get so much insight from these conversations. Thank you ✊🏿
Such a great conversation with so many talented actors! Especially loved Tom's small talk with Samuel about their scene in the Avengers movie - and his reference to the specific part in the movie where Loki goes "Ooooh... it burns you to have come so close" to something Nick Fury said. Must have made an impact on Tom, since he still can remember it! He's so humble and considerate and it's so nice to hear him talk about his experience with other actors and how they (in the moment of filming) play off each other - especially enjoyed him talking about his experience with Owen Wilson. They had such great chemistry in the Loki series!
@@shpei88 i think it depends on whether they consider moonknight a miniseries or just a drama series, if it is the latter he won't even a chance to win, against jeremy strong.
Tom’s referencing this epic moment in Avengers: Nick Fury: You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did. Loki: Oooo…it burns you to have come so close. 😈
That was fun and interesting. Great actors and ones I enjoy watching often. The time flew by. I didn’t even realize how long it was until it was over. The other thing I I happily discovered was that they all seemed to match what I expected. What I mean is. Because I think they are all incredible I felt that they really love acting. After watching this it’s clear that they really do. What a great round table.
When they first announced the Loki TV series, I really wondered why Tom would agree to do it, if he wanted to or if Marvel was too big to say no to. In my mind, I thought he as an actor, would want to parlay his Loki movie success to his passion projects and try to shift his public perception from evil super villain. Watching this has made me realize you don’t have to forsake your past for your future. He was doing all that and he was doing that with a TV series and he was able to enrich his craft too.
Tom's always had an amazing knack for living in both worlds, for instance playing Henry IV and Loki in the same year. And he was filming The Essex Serpent (great show) as Loki was airing. :)
@@TheaterPup It's not so much as living in both worlds but more that I thought he would be done with Loki. But apparently he's not done mining the character yet, monetarily or otherwise.
@@sherryillk Ahh, well I think he's always been a real advocate for Loki, the same way the fans are. Marvel didn't seem to get how popular Loki was at first, but that's all changed now, and I'm sure that's gratifying.
He was also lured in by the opportunity to have so much additional time to TRULY express and expand Loki, to take him into richer territory. It was catnip (and it paid off -- the show is amazing).
I imagine Quincy's mind is running at a thousand miles per hour just trying to absorb all the knowledge and greatness these gentleman have
This is exactly what I was thinking, proud of him!
funny part is. I bet he gon watch this video a couple of times just to pick up all the things he might have missed.
I mean, if I'm a newcomer to acting and I'm sitting down with some big actors discussing acting, I'd be focused af
Yes agree 😆
i saw him internally taking down notes to go back and watch all of these old film references they were making ha ha
I love Michael Keatons calm intensity. Such a down to earth intelligent human. Fell for his character in NIght Shift. Such a gifted amazing actor.
He seems low key not wanting to be there lol.
@@joshuameier4062 No idea how you came away with that. He seems especially engaged and generous in this interview.
@@BatmanHQYT Totally agree. He seemed to love the atmosphere and company, and the chance to speak seriously with people who understand what they all go through.
It’s because he’s no scrub and he aint too proud to beg!
He "wants to play a queen."
Hahahahahhahah
As a therapist, I applaud Quincy for setting up his support system proactively.
What does that mean? :D I didn't understand
@@arnazahmed2372 He knew that becoming a star would be overwhelming, so instead of waiting for that to happen, he started therapy early to help him prepare before things got stressful.

Absolutely and so refreshing to not have them all talking over each other.

A beautiful moment for Quincy, especially with Sam being great friends with Magic.
Quincy is awesome. I also loved how we he had an extremely minor gaff at 36:40 Michael Keaton tried to cover for him in the edit.

But every now and then, there are stories with little dialogue but powerfully displayed emotive visuals made possible, thanks to genius story tellers and directors with amazing vision (i.e. Fury Road and Blade Runner 2049).
Aged well? Give the writers what they deserve!
Always love these roundtables, but this one may be the most thrilling yet. The excitement is tangible, their love for the craft could fill every theatre in the world!
Coming across a roundtable full of actors you've deeply enjoyed their work feels like winning something
I love when the actors have the space to ask each other questions. The flow of conversation is so natural and much more interesting.
This is just great, not only because of the incredible actors , but also for the journalist. She knows when and what to ask to everyone. She let them speak, does not interrupt anyone. Great interview mrs Rose 👏
The host is so cheerful, I love it. And the chemistry beetween the actors is really great.
Hiddleston is one of the greatest actors of this generation tbh. His acting is so transformative, shakespearean, evocative, and passionate - his characters convey so much with even just their eyebrows lmao
I agree! I love the man! 🤗
The Night Manager is still one of my all time favorites. That was SUPERB!!!
@@Movingmts111 the closest thing we will ever get to him playing James Bond
@@cgln4382 I don’t really watch James Bond. To me it was closer to Internal Affairs/The Departed. Which also ruled. Just on the edge of your seat the whole time 😳
he's a great dancer too !!🤩
I wanted Tom and Michael to hit on their Branagh and Shakespeare connection. Michael’s scene stealing performance in Much Ado never gets enough love. Same with Tom’s Prince Hal in Henry IV & V for Hollow Crown.
I remember as a kid being happily surprised by Keaton’s moment, because I was used to seeing him as Batman. 🙃 Hiddleston was born to play Shakespeare, he finds meaning in the words you never knew could be there. 😊
That would be great for a Variety Actor on Actor interview. However, Tom is paired up with Lily James for an Actor and Actor interview this time.
"How long do I gotta stay alive to do 9 pictures.."
🤣🤣🤣
I watched this video mostly for Oscar and Tom but man that was slowly moving away to watching it just to hear interesting topics. It is literally an entire table of interesting actors from all around in the movie world
Michael Keaton is such a quick thinker.
Tom Hiddleston is a legend. His portrayal is just masterpiece
This man deserves Oscars!
And Samuel? This man can't get old. I love him
Thanks for the best conversion with the best actors ever!
I don't see any legendary credits on his imdb...mostly marvel movies🤔 what role deserves an Oscar??
Well, Oscar is just sitting next to him.
Love everyone here except Quincy, simply because I had no clue who he was, but he's surprisingly one of the best parts of this roundtable. He seems like a really level-headed and genuine guy and it was really cool to get his perspective alongside the veterans and newer established stars.
Me too
MOON KNIGHT AND LOKI TOGETHER🥵🥵🥵
Tom & Oscar together... dream come true. And the chemistry between all of them, just wow
26:13 Come on Tom ! You can do it ! Speak ! Express yourself ! Say what you want to say. Don't be afraid by interrupt others. Sam do that all along the interview
27:58 No Tom ! We believe in you ! Do not give up !!
28:05 YEAAAAAAAH !!! He did it !!! So proud of you !!
Tom Hiddleston is just so polite!
Such a sweet soul
@@mishan3150 Yeah ! That why we love him so much
Hahaaaa I noticed that too. But he's what he's. A well-educated gentleman like few around.
Why does everyone interrupt each other 😂😂😂 especially Sam and Brian i felt they spoke over everyone a lot
A lot of British people (not all) are overly polite and well mannered so interrupting others while they're speaking feels very uncomfortable and out of character.
Michael Keaton is strangely attractive…and Oscar Isaac is my new favourite actor! Great group.
the hollywood reporter has blessed us this morning! What a great group of gents to listen to and learn from. I don't think I could keep my composure like the host did!
I love the way Hiddleston validates and acknowledges everyone before he jumps into his point. Very respectful
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS JUST HAPPENED, MY 2 FAV ACTORS OSCAR AND TOM ARE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER!!!!!!!😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Great conversation! Literally 3 generations of actors representing. Everyone listening and learning from eschewed other. Wow. Quincy is very lucky to have so many legends knowledge and advice first hand and him being smart to have preventive therapy to deal with what’s coming to him with this big breakthrough in his career. They weren’t condescending towards him being so young and having a real conversation about how the world is now in the industry and how it was etc. very interesting and enriching round table talk
Tom AND Oscar?! My life is now complete. 😮💨😮💨
Quincy seems like such a down to earth, kind dude. His voice is so recognizable
Amazing times in which a TV roundup of actors gives you such movie powerhouses...
I love the dynamic of this. Just all these titans telling Quincy their life lessons and him really using it to ask all the questions a young actor would want to know, while teaching them too.
These guys are legendary in my book. They’re kind and polite enough to share their experiences to us. And looking forward to see more Quincy. I wish I get to work any of these legends one on one in the set. 💫
What these roundtables offer most is perspective. They do the same job, but it's the perspectives they offer, different viewpoints that make this conversation riveting
One of my biggest takeaways here (and I’m only 70% through the video) is Tom’s description of how he brings a character to life. “He’s a brother. I know what that is.” He says.
Quincy asked a great question and further added, himself, that he did just that when playing magic, by thinking about magic as a 20 something year old (something he could relate to the character with).
There’s clearly a lot to take away here, but as someone who’s fascinated by both the writing and acting aspect of shows and movies, that was amazing to listen to.
"He has a brother, I know what that is." "I know what it's like to be 20 years old." Reminded me of Liam Neeson when he said he drew from writing shopping lists when he played in Schindlers List.
And he said it to make acting sound like a complete banality. So I guess in that way it was fascinating..
He sees Chris Hemsworth as his brother. ☺️
This is a BRILLIANT roundtable with SO MUCH to take away with. I’m so grateful as an actor starting out for these things!
Keaton aging like fine wine!
Michael is impressive how often he doles out compliments, I hope hes as humble as he appears here in general. I really enjoyed watching this.
What Tom said at 37:15 seems to explain much of the MCU's success with creating memorable and consistently effective stories. Rather than trying to play the "superhero", the actors look for the nearest archetypes they can find in ordinary human life and then lean into that, which makes the characters feel relatable and believable (especially amidst their fantastical and larger-than-life adventures).
Hiddleston in the night manager was amazing. He’s so talented!!
As a guatemalan to see Oscar Isaac with such influential entertainers is inspiring to me
Tom Hiddleston is just so polite and respectful of the people he is around it's always so nice to see :)
The world could use more respectful people like him! 😊
I’ve rewatched this a couple of times and I really wish we had heard more from Oscar! IMO, he’s certainly one of the best, if not the best actor at this table. He’s so underrated, his nuances when acting are incredible x
What I like most about these roundtables is watching great actors pay compliments to each other.
Man I went to college with quincy, though he was a year ahead of me and we were both involved in our theater program (i was doing it for fun whereas he was in it for his studies). So deserved for him to be where he is and also so surreal because I remember watching him act in his first major role in our spring play at our school in 2018, which wasn't so long ago. I didn't know him very well but he was much adored by many students. Especially his talent. It is so weird to see him amongst all these guys. Would never have imagined this a couple years ago. Also Steven Yueng from walking dead went to my school as well.
I can't help but think that Tom Hiddleston is plotting something whenever I see him smile, he's great haha
This roundtable was full of information that I'm going to take with me as inspiring actress. Thank you to the Hollywood Reporter for this.
You gotta love how humble and kind Tom is, dude is just taking in all the information Samuel taking about not being typecast. I don’t want that for him at all l don’t think it will happen but l know I’m his mind he’s thinking about that hahah. He was awesome in King Kong and Crimson Peak.
Michael seemed pretty pleased that Oscar wants to work with him.
This feels like the most conversational, free flowing, creative-thought evoking Roundtable to date. Loved every second.
oscar and tom sitting next to each other bye i love it here
This is one of the best roundtable sessions, everyone is exceptional, sharing themselves, very genuine and so thoughtful. Easy, interesting conversation, thanks for putting this group together.
I could watch them speak for 10 hours and not be bored. Great round table cast!
Scenes from a marriage is some of the best acting I have ever seen on TV, plain and simple
I’ve never looked more forward to watching an hour long video.
I hope young actors are truly watching these interviews...they're so enlightening & full of gems. I'm not even an actor & I get so much insight from these conversations. Thank you ✊🏿
Love these, but why are they so short now. Give me a 2-3 hour podcast type with these amazing artists you put on.
Such a great conversation with so many talented actors! Especially loved Tom's small talk with Samuel about their scene in the Avengers movie - and his reference to the specific part in the movie where Loki goes "Ooooh... it burns you to have come so close" to something Nick Fury said. Must have made an impact on Tom, since he still can remember it! He's so humble and considerate and it's so nice to hear him talk about his experience with other actors and how they (in the moment of filming) play off each other - especially enjoyed him talking about his experience with Owen Wilson. They had such great chemistry in the Loki series!
How handsome Tom Hiddleston is !!!
I love how Quincy is the new guy and how Keaton immediately connects with him with. There was something dope about that to me.
I just wish Oscar Issac gets Emmy for Moon Knight
He did great work in it. =)
Totally agree
It’s gonna be Oscar vs Garfield for Under the Banner of Heaven
he was brilliant. totally deserves an emmy.
@@shpei88 i think it depends on whether they consider moonknight a miniseries or just a drama series, if it is the latter he won't even a chance to win, against jeremy strong.
this is my film/acting school. watching the greats talk it out with each other. truly grateful!
Oscar, Tom, Samuel, & Michael = MCU🙌🏻👏🏻🙏🏻. PS: SOMEONE CAST TOM & OSCAR IN A MOVIE OR SHOW PLS!!!!
I remember Brian in Braveheart and the Sharpe's series with Sean Bean, and I loved him in Super Troopers.
Tom’s referencing this epic moment in Avengers:
Nick Fury: You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did.
Loki: Oooo…it burns you to have come so close. 😈
The oooo was real lol
Knowing the ooo was real makes it so much better
29:25
(for my own reference)
How supportive Keaton is; just awesome.
Michael Keaton is the coolest dude, man. He'll forever be Batman
That was fun and interesting. Great actors and ones I enjoy watching often. The time flew by. I didn’t even realize how long it was until it was over. The other thing I I happily discovered was that they all seemed to match what I expected. What I mean is. Because I think they are all incredible I felt that they really love acting. After watching this it’s clear that they really do. What a great round table.
Agent William Stryker, Batman/the Vulture, Nick Fury, Moon Knight, and Loki all at one table
I know! I was like, this is so Marvelicious!
And Apocalypse
When they first announced the Loki TV series, I really wondered why Tom would agree to do it, if he wanted to or if Marvel was too big to say no to. In my mind, I thought he as an actor, would want to parlay his Loki movie success to his passion projects and try to shift his public perception from evil super villain. Watching this has made me realize you don’t have to forsake your past for your future. He was doing all that and he was doing that with a TV series and he was able to enrich his craft too.
Tom's always had an amazing knack for living in both worlds, for instance playing Henry IV and Loki in the same year. And he was filming The Essex Serpent (great show) as Loki was airing. :)
@@TheaterPup It's not so much as living in both worlds but more that I thought he would be done with Loki. But apparently he's not done mining the character yet, monetarily or otherwise.
@@sherryillk Ahh, well I think he's always been a real advocate for Loki, the same way the fans are. Marvel didn't seem to get how popular Loki was at first, but that's all changed now, and I'm sure that's gratifying.
He was also lured in by the opportunity to have so much additional time to TRULY express and expand Loki, to take him into richer territory. It was catnip (and it paid off -- the show is amazing).
I saw why when I watched Loki...
