He raved about co-star Rosario Dawson, saying, “I love Rosario. I think she's a phenomenal actress and just a great human being, and I think she brings so much to this character.”

She continued, “I've been friends with him since I was a teenager, so it's been really remarkable being on this journey with him.”

She added, "Dave and everyone, Jon [Favreau] keeps, like, threatening, promising/threatening to everyone else in all the different shows, is like, 'You think it's over. It's never over!' It just goes and goes and goes."
