con nosotros hoy, más va va voom, menos villana hoy, Maria Gabriela de Faria. Bienvenida. Me alegro de verte. Muchas gracias. Por cierto, dices mi nombre perfectamente. Y eso es difícil para algunas personas. Me divertí mucho. Me divertí diciéndolo. Es un nombre tan bonito. Pero he oído que también puedo llamar Gabby. Sí, sí. Así es como me llaman mis amigos. Sí. Gracias. Estamos ya amigos. Ya somos amigos. Mis amigos me llaman Fred. Allá vamos. Vale, Gabby, háblame de esto. ¿Qué tan emocionante es ser parte de esta película épica? Es una locura. Durante mucho tiempo antes del rodaje, tuve que prepararme durante ocho meses para el papel trabajando en artes marciales entrenando. Y yo seguía llamando a mi entrenador preguntando, ¿es esto es esto ¿es real? Así que soy yo el papel es mío porque el guión era tan fantástico. He sido fan de James desde hace mucho tiempo y poder formar parte de la génesis del DCU. Sigue siendo alucinante. Dios mío, y tú eres mortal. Y tengo que disculparme. Tengo que aún no he visto la película. Pero está en mi lista. Voy a verla. Pero estoy viendo los clips. He visto los clips y estás matando todo el camino. Quiero decir, la película se llama Superman. Pero gran parte de la película se centra, ya sabes, alrededor de el papel de los personajes femeninos fuertes, como el tuyo, aparte de Lois Lane, ya sabes, está Eve, la chica sexy, por supuesto, el ingeniero. Así que, um, ya sabes, lo que ha permitido, ya sabes, que esta película vaya más allá del estereotipo masculino... de las películas de superhéroes. Siento que todo esto tiene que ver con el cineasta. Y siento que James tiene una vida tan rica y diversa. Y lo muestra fácilmente en sus proyectos. Y siento que tiene increíbles mujeres fuertes en su vida. Y las escribe muy, muy bien. Estoy realmente agradecido a cineastas como James por ser capaces de darnos ese poder en una película como esta. Tienes razon. Quiero decir, nuestra Lois Lane, es un personaje increíble y fuerte. Y entonces la el resto de nosotros, ya sabes, estamos ahí para apoyar esta historia. Y, y Siento que incluso se puede ver sentir nuestras personalidades un poco poco a través de la pantalla, a pesar de que esta es la historia de Superman, y me atrevo a decir, cripto, que absolutamente roba el espectáculo. Oh, lo he oído. Y quiero decir, no es ninguna sorpresa. Porque ya sabes, pones una mascota en la mezcla, un perro en la mezcla. Y, y es va a ser, ya sabes, con las patas hacia abajo, realmente algo especial. Así que otra cosa que no puedo esperar a ver. Así que el ingeniero, Oh, adelante. No, que, ya sabes, la Warner Brothers socio con Best Friends Animal Society para promover las adopciones, y estamos renunciando a todas las tasas de adopción. Y adopté un perro durante una selección de Superman. Así que esto es una locura. Adopté mi propio cripto. Es un cachorro y tiene cinco meses. Y tengo gatos. Y no sé, pero está aquí y estoy disgustada. Entonces, ¿tu cachorro de cinco meses va a tener o tuvo un Superman tipo de nombre relacionado? ¿Quieres llamarla ingeniero? ¿Cómo? Mis gatos son Eleanor Rigby y el Sargento Pimienta. Así que tenía que ser Jude. Es una familia Beatles. Oh, me encanta. Muy bien, genial. Beatles manía pasando allí. Vale, entonces, ya sabes, el ingeniero, cuéntame más. Quiero decir.., Sé que, ya sabes, ex operaciones especiales, militar duro incluso antes de conseguir sus poderes. Pero después de eso ya sabes, tiene la fuerza para luchar contra Superman. Cuéntame más. Bueno, ella es originalmente de la Autoridad, que es un superhéroe que creen que el mundo está roto y que necesitan arreglarlo sin importar, ya sabes, las consecuencias de lo que hagan. Así que bailan en esa zona gris de la moralidad, que es realmente, realmente divertido. Y entonces James, ya sabes, está introduciendo a todos estos personajes que con suerte serán parte del DCU en este película, la primera película del DCU. Y se puede llegar a ver cómo lo increíblemente fuerte que es y lo increíblemente capaz que es. Pero dentro de ella, esta la humana, ya sabes, ella es parte máquina. Y cada vez que ella usa sus poderes, la máquina viene, se vuelve más poderosa, pero el humano dentro sigue dando la lucha. Y y tiene la conciencia, tiene un corazón y ella ha sido realmente rota por el mundo y el camino que el mundo ...ha tomado. Así que se une a Lex para sacrificar su vida, su... propia humanidad para proteger al mundo y a los humanos. Y aunque ya sabes, no creo que ella tenga la mayor final en esta película en particular, su película, película en particular, ya veremos. Veremos que pasa con sus intenciones. Vale, estoy leyendo entre líneas. Así que estoy viendo como vi tú también, ya sabes, preparándote para el, ya sabes, el papel y los entrenamientos y la formación. Y hablaste un un poco sobre eso. Y no en esta película, me dice que el ingeniero se va a transformar en otra película. Y Gabby, vas a estar allí. Esa es la esperanza, ya sabes, que siento como todos nosotros, no puedo realmente decir mucho porque no hay mucho que decir aparte de que sí, ese es el plan. Todos los personajes de esta película van a tener una gran vida en el DCU. Bueno, Gabby, no puedo esperar a volver a hablar contigo. Porque para ahora, este es el final de este programa. Ha sido divertido. Gran conocerte. Felicidades.
