Avengelyne

We’ve got great pedigree [on Avengelyne] with Margot Robbie and Olivia Wilde. I’m like, ‘Is this happening?!’ But no, they read it and they loved it. They pitched me how they saw Avengelyne, and I’m stupid enough to say to Olivia and Margot, ‘Are you sure you guys want to do this?’ I couldn’t help myself.
