Did you guys see this yet?
*shared a link*

Widow
I was just looking at it. This is...a surprise. Did anyone know?

Ruffles
If anyone here knew about it, it's probably Tom.

Widow
Hiddleston, speak.

Low-key
Well
She got a call from Kevin the other day. Said they had a role for her and whether she'd be interested. Apparently someone from the cast put a reference for her. Wasn't me but her manager has been talking back and forth with them since. I didn't know it was confirmed, however.

StankMan
It's not. They're still discussing the terms.

Ruffles
You knew too?

StankMan
I was the one who mentioned her to Jon. He told me about the casting calls and I jokingly mentioned her and they thought she'd actually match the character's outlook well.

Mackster
But what about the very obvious factor here that you might've overlooked.

StankMan
I didn't overlook anything. I just didn't want to start a conversation unless this could potentially lead to something. Jon just texted me an hour ago and said they might be signing her soon so I was going to bring it up soon as well.
Here, look

*forwarded a message*
Hey Robert, hope you're doing well. Just wanted to update you on Lydia's status for the upcoming movie. She did the screen-test and her manager has already edited two contract papers according to their terms and wishes, almost everything's set for now. We're hoping to get the signing done within this week, alongside Tom, Chadwick and the others, so that they can all start filming from next month with you guys at the same time. The only other concern we have right now is whether Chris is comfortable with this or not. We really do think that Lydia is the perfect person to play Nyx but we want to ensure Chris feels comfortable with this, because it would mean a 5-movie contract  for her and this is his title movie. Would you discuss this with him? Or should me and Kevin talk to him instead? Let me know. Thanks.

WANDArful Witch🔮
I don't know why this groupchat is feeling very awkward all of a sudden. It feels like I'm hearing something I shouldn't have heard or known.

Ruffles

Low-key
Lydia was worried about the same thing when she got the call. Of course she was excited about the project but she too wanted to ensure Chris' comfort in this. As per my knowledge, this was what the first conversation she had with Kevin was about and she was told to do the screen-test and if she went to the next stage, they would then have a word with Chris.

Widow
Classic Lydia. So thoughtful, as always.

WANDArful Witch🔮
It would be so much fun to work with her, right? I've always adored her accent.

Hemsworthy
What is happening here? Lyds is joining us?!

Mackster
Not yet.
We still haven't heard from the man we're all looking out for, here.

Weiner Soldier
Yeah, where the hell is he?

Mackster
@Craptain
@Craptain
@Craptain

Craptain
What is it, Mackie?

Mackster
I'm gonna give you a minute

Craptain
Oh

WANDArful Witch🔮
It's okay, take your time.

Craptain
I don't know what to say
This is so...

Widow
Sudden, we know. That's why you can take your time to think this through. There's no rush.

StankMan
Actually, there kind of is. They need to know by tomorrow so they can prepare the contract, fly her here and get all signings done by the weekend, Evans.

Legolas
Dude, chill out. We all know how big a hit he took when she left.
Give him the time he needs to think about it. We gotta look out for our own first and then think of the others.

Low-key
Lydia is one of us too. She's been our friend forever.

Legolas
Your friend, you mean.

Widow
She's our friend too, Renner. She was yours too.

Legolas
She was, before she did what she did.

Low-key
She did what she needed to.
We all know what she was going through.
She did the right thing by letting it go because she didn't want to drag Chris down with her.

Ruffles
Guys, come on. This isn't our fight.

WANDArful Witch🔮
Yes, stop it.
Chris, what do you think?

Craptain
She should take the role.

Mackie
Are you sure? You have time to think

Craptain
There's nothing to think about here.
She obviously went for the screen-test because she wants this. It'll be good for her and whatever happened between us was a long time ago.
I can't take this away from her.
We're both professionals.
I think we can handle working together like every other pair of exes in the industry.
Besides, Lizzie is excited about this. How could I say no?

WANDArful Witch🔮
Chris 🥺

Legolas
Are you sure, man? We totally understand if you're not on board with this.

Craptain
It's okay, Jeremy.
I am sure about this.

And I'd appreciate it if you all would be civil about it too. There's no need to bring back the past in this.
She should feel comfortable and welcomed into this as well.

StankMan
Well, if you're sure then I guess I will let Jon know?

Craptain
Please do. It's alright, really.
Even they think she's the one for this. I couldn't live with myself if I was the reason it ended up not happening.

Widow
Always the charming man, Evans. Proud of you for this.

Craptain
🙂

Jon Favreau
Hello, Lydia. I just wanted to let you know that we have received the revised version of the terms and conditions that your manager proposed and we're on board with the changes. As you already know, we've thought you're the ideal actress for this role ever since we received your screen-test and would love to move forward with this.

The contract signings for a few other new actors is this weekend in our LA office and we would appreciate it if you could be present on the day alongside them so we can sort through all the new additions at once.

If you have any other concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.

Lydia
Thanks, Jon. This is really something I hadn't thought of in my wildest dreams and I am honored that you think I'd be a good fit for the role. If you are okay with the revised T&C then I believe there is only one other concern that remains for me.

I've already mentioned it to you and Kevin before and I would really appreciate it if you would cross-check with him before we move forward with this because I really do not wish to make anyone uncomfortable with the situation here.

Jon Favreau
About that
We've already spoken to Chris. Well, Robert has and according to him, Chris doesn't have any issues with this.

He has assured us that he isn't uncomfortable with the situation and believes you two will be able to handle this in a civil manner like the true professionals that you are.

Lydia
Oh
That's nice to hear.
Can I let you know my final response by tomorrow?

Jon Favreau
Sure, Lydia. We hope you'll make the right decision for your career and not only based of your emotions, especially not fear. Trust me, you have the potential to do this better than anyone else and even the fans agree.

Lydia
Thanks, Jon. This opportunity means a lot.
I will be sure to reply soon.
