So let&#x27;s say the action is me smashing Brad Pitt&#x27;s face into a table. You want it to be the best smashing of Brad Pitt&#x27;s face to a table. You just want to make sure. What we really wanted, honestly, was the audience to go along with us. We really wanted the audience to feel how much fun we were having. We were all on this crazy mission, and you don&#x27;t know who&#x27;s gonna make it to the end of the line. So you just lean into that and you just play,&quot; Henry said.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brad Pitt.

Look what I&#x27;m doing today. I&#x27;m doing a David Leitch action movie with Brad Pitt.
