THE CREATORS AND I WONDERED IF WE SHOULD DO MORE SEASONS, OR

END IT NOW ON A HIGH NOTE.

>> JAMES: THAT'S WHERE I CAME IN.

MY VISION WAS TO TAKE THE BIGGEST THING IN TELEVISION

"MRS. MAISEL," AND COMBINE IT WITH THE BIGGEST THING IN FILM.

WAIT, WHAT'S THAT SOUND?

IT'S A BILLION DOLLAR BOX OFFICE GROSS.

DING, DING, DING, DING!

WAIT, ACTUALLY, IS THAT A TOW TRUCK?

I PARKED IN A LOADING ZONE.

COULD YOU MOVE MY CAR?

THANK YOU.

ANYWAY, WE CAME UP WITH-- >> "THE MARVEL'S MRS. MAISEL."

>> JAMES: BOOM!

>> AT FIRST, I WAS SKEPTICAL.

THEN HE EXPLAINED THE SIMILARITIES MS. MAISEL HAS WITH

SUPERHEROS.

>> JAMES: THEY BOTH SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER, THEY BOTH HAVE

MEMORABLE CATCH PHRASES.

>> JAMES: AND THEY BOTH HAVE DADDY ISSUES.

AND WHO DID WE GET TO DIRECT?

WELL, I HAD TO CALL IN A COUPLE FAVORS, BUT, LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, WE GOT HIM!

JAMES CORDEN!

( LAUGHTER ) ( BACKGROUND ACTION NOISES )

( LAUGHTER ) ( BACKGROUND ACTION NOISES )

>> I WILL SHRED THIS UNIVERSE DOWN TO IT'S LAST LEG.

>> WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

I GOT IT ON 46th STREET LONG AGO.

NEVER GOT IT APPRAISED.

>> James: CUT!

YOU'RE AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTERDIMENSIONLE GOD OF WAR.

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE DIAMOND DISTRICT!

KOMBUCHA!

>> THANK THIS IS GOING TO BE MY FIRST

FOLLOW-UP FILM SINCE "CATS."

I HAVE A REPUTATION TO LIVE UP TO!

>> WE HAD PROBLEMS BALANCING THE TWO WORLDS.

>> James: MRS. MAISEL KEPT ASKING THOR IF HIS ANIMAL WAS

CIRCUMCISED BUT I'M SURE THE REST OF THE SHOOT WOULD GO

SMOOTHER.

>> RED SKULL RETURNED.

HE'S THREATENING TO DESTROY THE CITY.

>> NOT ON MY WATCH.

MY SHIELD!

>> JUST GIVE ME 20 MORE >> JUST GIVE ME 20 MORE MINUTES.

I'M GOING TO THE CATSKILLS THIS WEEKEND AND RIGHT NOW MY SKIN IS

MORE MUTED THAN A REPUBLICAN HOUSEWIFE.

>> James: CUT!

CUT!

>> WHAT NOW?

YOU TOLD ME TO USE THE SHIELD.

>> James: IT'S AN ACTION MOVIE!

YOU USE IT TO DEFEND YOURSELF!

>> I AM DEFENDING MYSELF!

AGAINST PASTY, BLOTCHY SKIN!

IN HINDSIGHT, MAYBE IT WASN'T THE SMARTEST IDEA TO BASE AN

ENTIRE BIG BUDGET BLOCKBUSTER ON A MILDLY CLEVER, CONVOLUTED PUN.

>> James: ALL THE BEST MOVIES ARE BASED ON MILDLY CLEVER PUNS.

"THE SANTA CLAUSE."

"GNOMEO AND JULIET."

"THE SANTA CLAUSE 2."

( LAUGHTER ) AND THUS WE CARRIED ON.

>> WOW, YOU TAKE DOWN MUGGERS LIKE I DO HECKLERS.

AND I BET YOU GET PAID MORE FOR IT, TOO.

>> JUST ANOTHER JOB FOR YOUR FRIENDLY, NEIGHBORHOOD

SPIDER-MAN.

>> DID YOU SAY SPIDER-MAN?

ANY RELATION TO DR. DAVID SPIDERMAN ON THE UPPER WEST

SIDE?

>> James: CUT!

CUT!

CUT!

HE'S SPIDER-MAN.

>> BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF SPIDER-MANS IN THE CITY.

WE GO TO TEMPLE WITH FIVE OF THEM.

>> James: LIKE SUPERMAN.

I LIKE AN IRVING SUPERMAN, HIS SON JUST PASSED THE BAR.

>> James: WE'LL MOVE TO THE NEXT SCENE.

REAP IT COMING!

HERE WE GO, GUYS!

>> IN THE END, WE DECIDED THIS PARTICULAR CHAPTER IN

MRS. MAISEL'S STORY WAS BEST LEFT UNTOLD.

>> James: BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'VE STOPPED BRAINSTORMING

HOW TO EXPLAINED THE MRS. MAILS FRANCHISE.

THE MARVELOUS MRS. MARMALADE.

>> I'M NOT PUTTING MY NAME ON THIS.

>> James: IT'S FISH FLAVOR.

YOU LIKE IT, DON'T YOU?

YES, YOU DO!
