"When I first signed onto Marvel, lots of people from the indie-film world were all telling me that I was never going to go back to small movies again, and it always kind of wound me up," she explains to . "Because I think there’s beauty in all types of those films. There’s beauty in the massive, epic storylines like Dune, like Marvel, like even Opꦓpenheimer that I did. They’re amazing, mega movies. And then there’s also beauty in all these little ones that not everyone is going to see, but are going to affect the right person at the right time. I’ve never, ever only thought that I was going to just do one type of movie. I&rsq♋uo;ve always known that I want to dabble in all areas."
She adds: "It’s also good fo🍸r my brain to dabble in all areas. I would love to direct. I know how important it is to have a good dialogue with your director. I know how crucial it is. And I just feel like you can’t just throw yourself at it, and hope that the spaghetti sticks. I need to learn a bit more, and understand why things go where [they do], and really watch all these people that I have been watching.
"But I personally would feel too terrified that I’d accidentally say the wrong thing, or accidentally screw up someone’s day because I said, 'Maybe not that way.' I don’t know✤. All the things that I have personally felt🅰 before while acting. I think I’ll probably just need a few more years of practicing the knack of leading a ship into a storm, and pretending like everything’s fine. But I would love to one day."
