How was it reuniting with your old Salt co-star
Angelina Jolie on Maleficent? Did the film make you re-evaluate the fairytales you’d read as a child – and did you feel a sense of responsibility about how much movies influence young people?
It was great to work with Angelina again. I loved working with her on Salt and she’s so deeply invested in everything she works on and has such a great world view that her films really reflect. So it’s always fun to go into that world. I came to the first film quite late but I loved it because it re-evaluated the fairy tales and the character tropes that I grew up with. And I think that can be really influential on a younger generation. Re Love, Actually - Peter was obviously blinded by love! Both of them! 1.31pm BST

What was Joss Whedon like to work with? #serenity
Joss was just amazing to work with and it was wonderful at the time to join the cast of Serenity/ Firefly. He had an encyclopedic understanding of film and TV and was just deeply inspirational.
