respect boundaries. 492 00:19:22,138 --> 00:19:24,107 And it's one thing for young people 493 00:19:24,207 --> 00:19:27,543 to claim seniors restaurant reservations, 494 00:19:27,643 --> 00:19:31,180

00:21:58,461 --> 00:22:00,296 the top scams targeting teens are 543 00:22:00,396 --> 00:22:02,598 sextortion plots against boys. 544 00:22:02,699 --> 00:22:05,435 The FBI says scammers pose as

00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,109 Talent scout scams are on the rise too. 548 00:22:13,209 --> 00:22:17,313 Users on Instagram and TikTok receive DMs offering modeling 549 00:22:17,413 --> 00:22:18,881 and acting opportunities. 550 00:22:18,915 --> 00:22:21,117 Scammers then ask for a fee to apply, 551 00:22:21,217 --> 00:22:23,386 but of course, there's no talent job in sight. 552 00:22:23,486 --> 00:22:25,888 Another common scam is student loan forgiveness. 553 00:22:25,988 --> 00:22:27,890 Scammers are creating fake student 554 00:22:27,991 --> 00:22:29,993 loan websites, tricking people into

00:26:27,514 --> 00:26:29,249 successful films to come out. 647 00:26:29,349 --> 00:26:31,451 The last I checked, Black Panther had grossed I think it 648 00:26:31,551 --> 00:26:34,220 was like $330 or $340 million. 649 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,022 Everybody is loving the movie. 650 00:26:36,122 --> 00:26:37,423 People are loving you in the movie. 651 00:26:37,524 --> 00:26:38,792 I just watched it a few days ago, 652 00:26:38,892 --> 00:26:41,494 and I know I'm biased because you're sitting here with me, 653 00:26:41,594 --> 00:26:44,731 but I think you had some of the funniest lines in the film. 654 00:26:44,831 --> 00:26:46,800 I also think you had some of the baddest, 655 00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:49,636 like amazing fight scenes and choreography. 656 00:26:49,736 --> 00:26:50,637 How does it feel? 657 00:26:50,737 --> 00:26:52,372 Because this was such a long project. 658 00:26:52,472 --> 00:26:53,873 There were so many ups and downs. 659 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,308 There was a pandemic. 660 00:26:55,408 --> 00:26:57,444 There was the unfortunate loss of Chadwick. 661 00:26:57,544 --> 00:27:00,814 Everything came together to create this moment. 662 00:27:00,980 --> 00:27:03,483 Have you taken a moment to process it all? 663 00:27:03,583 --> 00:27:04,484 Thank you. 664 00:27:04,584 --> 00:27:05,785 Not yet, not yet. 665 00:27:05,885 --> 00:27:09,389 I'm getting there, but it has been an amazing journey 666 00:27:09,489 --> 00:27:11,724 and a tremendous one and a painful one 667 00:27:11,825 --> 00:27:15,128 and an intense one, starting from the beginning when 668 00:27:15,228 --> 00:27:18,798 we tragically lost our brother and our king, our 669 00:27:18,898 --> 00:27:20,300 leader, Chadwick. 670 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,702 So really, coming back was all about honoring him. 671 00:27:22,802 --> 00:27:25,839 So really it was, like Ryan always mentions, 672 00:27:26,005 --> 00:27:29,242 a line my character says, which is, I gave everything. 673 00:27:29,342 --> 00:27:31,711 Like that basically we came back with that, 674 00:27:31,811 --> 00:27:34,180 like it was just about giving all we had to this, 675 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,515 and honoring him. 676 00:27:35,615 --> 00:27:38,017 And so to have it come to a place 677 00:27:38,051 --> 00:27:39,552 where people are enjoying it this much 678 00:27:39,652 --> 00:27:43,022 and responding to it this well, I mean, it just feels, 679 00:27:43,056 --> 00:27:45,125 it feels very full circle in the sense 680 00:27:45,225 --> 00:27:48,027 that the goal was to honor him and the way Ryan beautifully 681 00:27:48,128 --> 00:27:50,630 arced it to be something that honored 682 00:27:50,730 --> 00:27:53,199 him, which involves I think something 683 00:27:53,299 --> 00:27:55,068 that I think he would love, which is that it 684 00:27:55,168 --> 00:27:56,469 is a full experience as well. 685 00:27:56,569 --> 00:27:57,771 It really is. 686 00:27:57,871 --> 00:27:58,838 As we walk through our grief with it at the same time. 687 00:27:58,938 --> 00:27:59,839 It really is. 688 00:27:59,973 --> 00:28:02,976 I notice people crying in the cinema. 689 00:28:03,042 --> 00:28:04,177 Obviously, people were cheering, 690 00:28:04,277 --> 00:28:05,378 people were laughing. 691 00:28:05,478 --> 00:28:07,547 But it reminds you of what you want movies to be, 692 00:28:07,647 --> 00:28:08,548 an experience. 693 00:28:08,648 --> 00:28:11,584 And it was an authentic experience. 694 00:28:11,684 --> 00:28:16,022 I enjoyed seeing how both the audience, 695 00:28:16,122 --> 00:28:19,993 and then I felt like the cost had an experience of catharsis 696 00:28:20,026 --> 00:28:22,295 that everyone got to say goodbye in a different way. 697 00:28:22,395 --> 00:28:24,097 Everyone got to go through that. 698 00:28:24,197 --> 00:28:26,800 When you look at this journey and where it's come, 699 00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:28,701 look at how Black Panther has reshaped 700 00:28:28,802 --> 00:28:29,903 how we see superheroes. 701 00:28:30,003 --> 00:28:31,504 People have talked about how diversity has 702 00:28:31,604 --> 00:28:33,473 never been the same on screen. 703 00:28:33,573 --> 00:28:37,076 This is the first woman Black-led film 704 00:28:37,177 --> 00:28:38,578 that Marvel has ever put out. 705 00:28:38,678 --> 00:28:39,646 And it's crushing it. 706 00:28:39,746 --> 00:28:41,214 People are loving it. 707 00:28:41,314 --> 00:28:43,216 It's huge, it's momentous. 708 00:28:43,316 --> 00:28:45,084 Yeah, I mean, that just means so much to hear, 709 00:28:45,185 --> 00:28:47,187 because I mean, it is really something that I grew up, 710 00:28:47,287 --> 00:28:49,122 the other big thing is that it's also African. 711 00:28:49,222 --> 00:28:50,256 Yeah. 712 00:28:50,356 --> 00:28:52,859 And like I grew up next door to you in Zimbabwe 713 00:28:53,026 --> 00:28:55,395 and I hope was not too painful to the ear, our Xhosa, 714 00:28:55,495 --> 00:28:57,397 but we're trying, we're working on it. 715 00:28:57,497 --> 00:28:58,598 No, I appreciate it. 716 00:28:58,698 --> 00:29:00,600 I always laugh with, Ryan Coogler is the director, 717 00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:03,770 I say like, you chose one of the hardest languages 718 00:29:03,870 --> 00:29:05,472 to just like, Xhosa, it's like, first of all, 719 00:29:05,572 --> 00:29:07,173 it's an African language, but it's like, what if we 720 00:29:07,273 --> 00:29:08,374 added clicks into it as well. 721 00:29:08,475 --> 00:29:09,375 I know. 722 00:29:09,476 --> 00:29:10,677 And I think the Xhosa's really well, 723 00:29:10,777 --> 00:29:14,414 not just with the Xhosa, but I mean, you've got some, 724 00:29:14,514 --> 00:29:17,083 like you could take Mayan in the movie, 725 00:29:17,183 --> 00:29:18,151 and that's what makes it. 726 00:29:18,251 --> 00:29:19,986 I'm not going to spoil the plot for anyone. 727 00:29:20,086 --> 00:29:21,621 So if there's gaps, I'm doing that on purpose. 728 00:29:21,721 --> 00:29:23,890 But you have a movie that now isn't 729 00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:27,794 just talking about the African diaspora around the world. 730 00:29:27,894 --> 00:29:31,131 You're also in this conversation about where 731 00:29:31,231 --> 00:29:33,533 we've come from as peoples in South 732 00:29:33,633 --> 00:29:35,235 America and Central America. 733 00:29:35,335 --> 00:29:38,271 And it's all coming together in a really gripping way. 734 00:29:38,371 --> 00:29:40,039 Well, the beauty of it is like that aspect 735 00:29:40,140 --> 00:29:41,341 of that shared conversation. 736 00:29:41,441 --> 00:29:42,709 Yes. 737 00:29:42,809 --> 00:29:44,477 That Africa could have with that part of the world, which 738 00:29:44,577 --> 00:29:47,046 is, we were both, we both went through a lot of imperialism. 739 00:29:47,147 --> 00:29:48,381 We both went through colonization. 740 00:29:48,481 --> 00:29:49,382 Yeah. 741 00:29:49,482 --> 00:29:50,784 We both lost, Indigenous cultures 742 00:29:50,884 --> 00:29:54,387 lost a lot through that very wretched process. 743 00:29:54,487 --> 00:29:55,555 Right, right. 744 00:29:55,655 --> 00:29:57,590 And so it's actually this reclaiming that we're 745 00:29:57,690 --> 00:29:59,826 getting to see these two cultures mirror 746 00:29:59,959 --> 00:30:01,127 each other as they do that. 747 00:30:01,227 --> 00:30:05,565 And Wakanda has kept it and protected it, and then so 748 00:30:05,665 --> 00:30:06,966 have the Talokaniles. 749 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,968 So it's this beautiful kind of reflection on each other, 750 00:30:09,002 --> 00:30:10,537 which I just think is kind of unprecedented 751 00:30:10,637 --> 00:30:11,538 and really, really exciting. 752 00:30:11,638 --> 00:30:12,539 And I think-- 753 00:30:12,639 --> 00:30:13,540 It truly is. 754 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,475 Your character shines. 755 00:30:15,575 --> 00:30:17,143 Some of my favorite lines, genuinely in the movie, 756 00:30:17,243 --> 00:30:18,144 are yours. 757 00:30:18,244 --> 00:30:19,546 Because here's the thing. 758 00:30:19,646 --> 00:30:24,284 We met you as this bad-ass on screen, kicking ass, running, 759 00:30:24,384 --> 00:30:26,286 I always said, do you know how bad-ass 760 00:30:26,386 --> 00:30:29,022 you have to be the bodyguards for the Black Panther? 761 00:30:29,122 --> 00:30:30,390 Do you know what I mean? 762 00:30:30,490 --> 00:30:33,226 That scene in the casino, that first fight scene 763 00:30:33,326 --> 00:30:34,694 where everyone's just like, who are you 764 00:30:34,794 --> 00:30:35,695 and what are you doing. 765 00:30:35,795 --> 00:30:36,896 And your character comes back. 766 00:30:36,996 --> 00:30:39,399 The fight scenes are even more intense. 767 00:30:39,499 --> 00:30:42,135 There's parts where you're fighting in the water, 768 00:30:42,235 --> 00:30:43,203 and then you're not. 769 00:30:43,303 --> 00:30:44,571 Were you actually doing that, by the way? 770 00:30:44,671 --> 00:30:46,005 Yes. 771 00:30:46,072 --> 00:30:49,242 I have a little bit of a torn muscle in my shoulder to prove 772 00:30:49,342 --> 00:30:50,910 it, but it's all good now. 773 00:30:51,010 --> 00:30:52,312 It's healed, it's healed. 774 00:30:52,412 --> 00:30:53,313 So don't fret. 775 00:30:53,413 --> 00:30:55,748 OK, like water fight scenes and-- 776 00:30:55,849 --> 00:30:58,318 Yeah, and the scene, what my character, yeah, the key thing 777 00:30:58,418 --> 00:31:01,488 that the stuff on the bridge, all that stuff, 778 00:31:01,588 --> 00:31:03,957 yeah, I had to, because there's no way I could, 779 00:31:04,057 --> 00:31:05,391 to me, it's like, how do I do the role 780 00:31:05,492 --> 00:31:07,060 if I'm not doing the role. She's a warrior. 781 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,261 Right. 782 00:31:08,361 --> 00:31:09,963 And like I was coming from Walking Dead as well. 783 00:31:10,063 --> 00:31:12,298 So I was used to, in Walking Dead, it was just like, 784 00:31:12,398 --> 00:31:13,366 get out there and do it. 785 00:31:13,466 --> 00:31:14,968 Go beat, go out there and beat somebody! 786 00:31:15,001 --> 00:31:15,969 You know? 787 00:31:16,002 --> 00:31:17,170 It's like, get it done. 788 00:31:17,270 --> 00:31:19,139 So like I was used to just getting out there and just 789 00:31:19,239 --> 00:31:20,406 getting it done. 790 00:31:20,507 --> 00:31:21,708 And that's, and really acquainting 791 00:31:21,808 --> 00:31:22,776 myself with the weapon. 792 00:31:22,876 --> 00:31:24,978 And we did that so hard in the first one. 793 00:31:25,078 --> 00:31:26,613 So in the second one, there was no exception. 794 00:31:26,713 --> 00:31:28,681 I had to do my fights, I had to learn my fights. 795 00:31:28,782 --> 00:31:31,785 And yeah, it was, it's a lot of work. 796 00:31:31,885 --> 00:31:33,253 There's no way around the work. 797 00:31:33,353 --> 00:31:36,022 But to me, that's actually how you become the character. 798 00:31:36,122 --> 00:31:39,659 You can't become Okoye outside of how she knows how to fight. 799 00:31:39,759 --> 00:31:41,227 And you have to keep doing it-- 800 00:31:41,327 --> 00:31:42,762 - It's a part of who she is. - Exactly. 801 00:31:42,862 --> 00:31:44,164 So it needs to be a part of who you are. 802 00:31:44,264 --> 00:31:45,698 Like I had to, I had to win. 803 00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:46,699 That was my thing. 804 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,067 Like, I could not win. 805 00:31:48,168 --> 00:31:49,402 This is General Okoye, this is you. 806 00:31:49,502 --> 00:31:51,171 - Oh, crap, you might be right. - Yeah. 807 00:31:51,271 --> 00:31:52,572 This is her. This is her. 808 00:31:52,672 --> 00:31:54,274 Because we see your character on this journey. 809 00:31:54,374 --> 00:31:55,742 And again, I won't spoil it, but what 810 00:31:55,842 --> 00:31:58,011 we see on your character's journey 811 00:31:58,111 --> 00:32:01,614 is her grappling with the idea that she's not in control. 812 00:32:01,714 --> 00:32:04,350 Her grappling with the idea that she cannot protect 813 00:32:04,451 --> 00:32:06,019 everybody, including herself. 814 00:32:06,119 --> 00:32:08,521 Her grappling with the idea of failure, 815 00:32:08,621 --> 00:32:11,524 which is such a personal experience for anybody 816 00:32:11,624 --> 00:32:13,560 to share, first of all, but it's also vulnerable to have, 817 00:32:13,660 --> 00:32:17,530 is to go, yeah, I am not what everybody needed me to be. 818 00:32:17,630 --> 00:32:19,132 And you felt that pain in your character. 819 00:32:19,232 --> 00:32:20,133 Oh, yeah. 820 00:32:20,233 --> 00:32:21,701 And that's what I loved about how 821 00:32:21,801 --> 00:32:24,003 Ryan like bifurcated the grief process 822 00:32:24,104 --> 00:32:25,105 in different characters. 823 00:32:25,205 --> 00:32:26,973 And my character, she just doesn't really 824 00:32:27,073 --> 00:32:28,274 take care of herself that way. 825 00:32:28,374 --> 00:32:30,743 So to actually, to have to get confronted with it 826 00:32:30,844 --> 00:32:32,812 that way was the only way she was really going to be, 827 00:32:32,979 --> 00:32:35,648 because she is so, I have to take care of everybody else. 828 00:32:35,748 --> 00:32:37,083 I have to make sure this, she's got 829 00:32:37,183 --> 00:32:38,184 the country on her shoulders. 830 00:32:38,284 --> 00:32:39,586 I've got to keep it protected and secure. 831 00:32:39,686 --> 00:32:41,421 I got to keep this family protected and secure 832 00:32:41,521 --> 00:32:42,789 that she feels she's a part of. 833 00:32:42,889 --> 00:32:43,890 Yes. 834 00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:46,893 So the lines are all blurred between her job 835 00:32:46,993 --> 00:32:49,429 and her personal experiences of losing her brother 836 00:32:49,529 --> 00:32:51,131 and taking care of his family. 837 00:32:51,231 --> 00:32:54,134 So yeah, it is definitely that sort of aspect of not being 838 00:32:54,234 --> 00:32:57,470 able to hold everything down and not 839 00:32:57,570 --> 00:33:00,140 being able to process her pain and her grief for herself. 840 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,408 Can I just say on behalf of everybody who 841 00:33:02,509 --> 00:33:04,310 was a massive fan of the first film, 842 00:33:04,410
