The actors take on their roles with an equal amount of care and nuance.
She shines in every scene shes in, thoughthe ones she shares with Duplass are standouts.
Collider got the chance to speak with Duplass and Reid about developing their incredible chemistry.

Can you talk about building that father-daughter chemistry?
Because I really enjoyed watching you two interact.
MARK DUPLASS: Yeah, I didn’t feel that way so much.

REID: Yeah, soanyway back to whatIwas saying.
[Laughs] Yeah, Mark is just such an amazing human.
He is so easygoing, and I flow with stuff like that.

I remember our scene when I say, Are you guys bringing me back?
I wouldn’t have done this with anyone else if I had to change it.
She’s a bright light.
I was like, That’s great.
Like, you don’t realize this is her first speaking role, okay?
REID: Very British.
DUPLASS: [British accent] Lots of PG Tips.
Then we have an eight-episode arc playing slightly different versions of this character, depending on whose perspective.
All of this in her first gig.
No, its everything.
You gave me everything.
REID: Thank you.
You know, as an actor,it was so fun to play the different perspectives.
DUPLASS: Bad girl.
REID: Bad girl.
She was so fun.
I remember being like, I love this.
DUPLASS: [Laughs] She got a tattoo on her back that says villain era.
REID: Yeah, villain era.
And then, you know,when we go into Natalia’s POV, that was just so heartbreaking.
I just wanted to do it justice.
She’s such a complex character, and I feel like Michael really is, too.
I’m curious how that piece of information informed the character for you.
I’ve been open about it in my own life I’ve dealt with them for years.
It really stood out to me, how much you were moving around and fighting.
DUPLASS: [Laughs]This is just a big audition for her Marvel movie, okay?
Its one eight-hour audition.
REID: [Punches air] Wheres the cameras?
[Laughs] It was so much fun.
I mean diving into this role, I wanted to use every ounce of my body.
I just wanted to dive into it and the physicality of it.
First of all, I had a movement coach because my form of dwarfism is different from Natalia’s.
I loved the physicality of it.
I loved using my whole body.
Ive actually done a lot of the stunts.
I just wanted to do everything and learn from everyone.
DUPLASS: You go, Tom Cruise.
You do your own stunts.
Marvel, we are pleading to you right now.
DUPLASS: Im gonna start with this.
It was really simple for me.
She’s like walking around with a gratitude journal.
REID: I was just annoying.
[Laughs] Through Mark, what I learned is he is just such an amazing human.
There’s no fault in him.
He was just so sweet to always lean on and talk to.
And Ive never had that before.
I was really grateful for that.
Well, thank you both so much.
I hope this is not the last I see of you far from it.
We’re calling Marvel up right after this.
We’re gonna make it happen for you.
DUPLASS: [Puts cell phone to ear] Excuse me?
