NO. CLUE.

No clue whatsoever. When I got the part, it was for one episode - the pilot.

And I didn't expect to do anything other than that. I was so stoked to get the part. I genuinely didn't expect it to continue. But when it did, I was so incredibly happy.

Interestingly enough, we did about 8 fittings for the new costume.

And fittings occur before you even start shooting. There are so many elements to the costume, so many layers, there are parts that have to be screwed on, parts that have to be slithered into, there's a lot going on there. But once I have it on, it really makes me feel like this cyborg super-powered character. So it really helps.

And it's really hard to pee in the suit.

We've had to organize / make my breaks official, because on my first day in the new costume, my skin turned completely white - i'm talking Gwyneth Paltrow white - because it sucks the moisture out of your body. So my first day, I had to do all these elaborate fight scenes, and I did my own stunts, so I was in the costume for 12-14 hours straight. And when I took it off, every part of my body that was covered was white. I'm thinking of instagramming a picture I took of myself like that. It was scary.

OK, first of all, thank you so much for your support & supporting the show.

Secondly, I haven't begged for anything regarding the character, because I understand that there's a larger - I mean, there's a huge plan in place, and I trust that if i fit in there, that I'll be put in. I'm a fan of the whole Marvel cinematic universe. And I trust that they know where they're going.

But I appreciate you asking, because I would love to play this character as much as I can.

OH MY GOD YES. I saw "Much Ado About Nothing" and was so jealous that I wasn't in it! Because we used to do Shakespeare readings at Joss' house on the weekends, when we were doing ANGEL...and I was lucky enough to play Othello to Joss' Iago... and I pray that he'll want to make that into a movie someday.

And as far as Age of Ultron goes, I would do anything Joss asked me to be a part of.

Firstly, obviously, it's TOTALLY AWESOME because I was a huge comic book collector as a kid, so obviously, playing a superhero as an adult is a childhood dream come true. Working with Clark is amazing, because he is the most generous, supportive and kind actor I've ever worked with.

And that's true!
