Way more so than Paul Rudd , " Reed deadpanned to The Hollywood Reporter at Monday ’s premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre . " She ’s in there and really wants to get it right . Every facial expression of that character . It was important to her , ' I want to sudate . A lot of those female heroes they crusade and they see majuscule and glam , I want to sweat . I want to have my hair in a ponytail because that ’s what I would do . ' "

John - Kamen was also dedicated to performing her own stunt , embracing the"adrenaline rush"that it collapse her .

Whether they end up fighting side - by - side ( or against each other ) persist to be seen .
