Michael B. Jordan & Brie Larson Talk About Playing Real-Life Superheroes in 'Just Mercy'

Brie Larson and Michael B. Jordan pose for photos at the Just Mercy press conference during the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday morning (September 7) at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, Canada.

The actors, who are both Marvel stars, were joined by co-stars Jamie Foxx, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Tim Blake Nelson, Rob Morgan, and Karan Kendrick, as well as director Destin Daniel Cretton.

At the premiere the night before, Michael and Brie talked about getting to play real-life superheroes in the film based on the true story of lawyer Bryan Stevenson.

“These are real-life superheroes,” MBJ told the crowd (via EW). “For me, this was very intimidating at first. After I got a chance to get to know [Stevenson] and his work, I felt like I had a great deal of pressure to get it right. I felt honored to be able to carry that weight and to be able to go to set every day and try to make a difference, and try to be a part of that change.”

Brie added, “I would go into the drudges for [Cretton] any time. But, really, the question was: Does Michael want me there? Because my only role in this was to support. This is the true definition of supporting role. I just wanted to be there for him, and to be given the opportunity to hold space for him was one of the most incredible experiences of my working life. We shared moments that mean so much to me, and this story is so powerful; Bryan’s voice is so powerful. Every day was a treat.”

FYI: Michael is wearing Sies Marjan. Brie is wearing Celine.

Zoe Kazan Says 'Ballad of Buster Scruggs' Is Her 'Less Gendered Experience on Set'

Zoe Kazan strikes a pose while attending the MoMA’s Contenders screening of her Netflix film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs held at MoMA Titus One on Wednesday (December 19) in New York City.

The 35-year-old writer-actress was joined at the event by her co-stars Tim Blake Nelson and Bill Heck, and moderator Sean Egan, MoMA film exhibitions and special projects producer.

“I think everyone’s minds are on issues of representations now, or there’s a heightened awareness,” Zoe expressed about her (via THR). “The Coens [Joel and Ethan Coen], I think, historically have written really interesting female roles, and I’ve never had a less gendered experience on set in my entire career.”

“I didn’t think it was a deficit in the script, but I did think, ‘If we’re going to only have one or two female protagonists in this whole thing, I better make sure that I’m doing my job,’” Zoe continued. “But it’s the Coen brothers and you want to do a good job as an actor anyways because they’re the kind of filmmakers that actors dream their entire career of getting to work with.”

Zoe Kazan & Paul Dano Step Out for 'Ballad of Buster Scruggs' Screening After Netflix Cancels Red Carpet!

Zoe Kazan strikes a pose with her husband Paul Dano backstage at the screening of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs held during the 2018 AFI Gala on Sunday (November 11) in Hollywood.

The 35-year-old actress was also accompanied by her friend Grace Gummer, as well as co-stars Saul Rubinek, Stephen Root, Chelcie Ross, Tim Blake Nelson, Grainger Hines, Bill Heck and directors Joel and Ethan Coen.

The screening went on as scheduled despite Netflix axing the red carpet portion, following the horrific shooting at Borderline Bar and in light of the ongoing California wildfires, which continue to rage in Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

“‘Our hearts are with the victims and families of the Borderline shooting and of the California Wildfires.’ As a native Californian, I could not agree more with Netflix’s decision here,” Zoe tweeted.

FYI: Zoe is wearing a Prada dress.

HBO's 'Watchmen' Pilot Casts Regina King, Don Johnson, & More!

Regina King and Don Johnson will star in the upcoming Watchmen pilot for HBO!

Damon Lindelof is creating the new series and he previously worked with Regina on his show The Leftovers!

Also joining the cast are Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Adelaide Clemens, and Andrew Howard, according to Variety. No details about the characters have been announced yet.

Lindelof took to Instagram this week to tell fans about his vision for the series. It will not be a re-telling of the graphic novel, but instead tell a new story with new characters existing in the same universe.

“Some of the characters will be unknown,” he said. “New faces. New masks to cover them. We also intend to revisit the past century of Costumed Adventuring through a surprising yet familiar set of eyes…and it is here we will be taking our greatest risks.”
