Which Avenger were you most excited to meet?

Robert Downey Jr., of course. I was really happy that I got to work with him. But when you meet him, he’s really funny, generous, he’s an amazing partner to team up with and he’s a great human being.

In Infinity War, Mantis and Star-Lord share screen time with Iron Man, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. Which hero was your favourite to work with?

I think the dynamic between Spider-Man and Mantis is pretty cute and funny. I like when there’s stuff between them because they’re both kind of childlike.

What do you think these final two Avengers films represent for fans?

It’s like the end of a chapter. After these two movies the Marvel Universe is going to be changed. Some characters might not be there anymore. I know that the Guardians will continue. But things are going to change for sure.

What’s going on with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?

We’re going to start shooting it next year. It’s not that far off, it’s a few months from now. I’m really excited about it because I can’t wait to work with James Gunn again. He’s such a genius and he changed my life. I can’t wait to see what he has in store for Mantis and the other characters. And I can’t wait to play again with my partners, Chris [Pratt], Zoe [Saldana], Karen [Gillan], Dave [Bautista] and Sean [Gunn].

What’s your favourite Marvel movie so far?

When I saw Guardians of the Galaxy, the first one, I was blown away. For me, it was the best Marvel movie ever because it had everything I like in those movies. There was a lot of heart, it was a lot of fun and it had really interesting, weird characters – I love that. As a fan, Guardians 1 changed something in the Marvel universe. It opened the door to something new.

When we spoke on the set of Infinity War, you joked that you don’t know what’s going to happen in Avengers 4. Is that still the case?

I have no idea, seriously! People are going to read this and think, ‘Really? She doesn’t know anything?’ But I honestly don’t know. For sure it’s going to be a surprise when it ends next summer.
