So, years ago, when I had just kind of started my relationship with Marvel, and ‘Black Widow’ had come out, and my Yelena wasn’t obviously as big as all of the other big superheroes, he was on the red carpet of his previous movie when someone said, ‘Who do you want to do the next movie with?’ Do you want to be with, like, Thor?’”To this question at the time, Holland replied that he wanted to work with the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ star. “So, because of that, fans were then, like, so excited about the idea of it, and that started the ball rolling. So, thanks to Tom. Thank you, Tom!” she added.
