It was the largest group of people. Of course I was already friends with John and Jenn [Holland], of course, and Steve Agee. But Danielle [Brooks] and Chuk [Iwuji] – [Chuk] is one of my best friends. Chuk is one of the primary characters now in Guardians 3, and he killed it on this movie. So, it was just, really, a wonderful group of people and I can not wait to work with them again. “
