COLLIDER: I want to start with a sincere you are great in this.
REGE-JEAN PAGE: Hey!
Ill take a sincere one of those.
How happy are you that the movie is so awesome?
PAGE: [Laughs] I’m as happy as the audience is, at all times, Steven.

That’s the rule.
So I get to be ecstatic, and I’m reveling in that.
Being serious, you never know how the movie is actually gonna turn out.

PAGE: No, not at all.
So I’m sure you’re very happy.
It’s like taking the movie home to meet your parents because this is the audience it matters to.

So when you get that reaction, it validates everything.
PAGE: It’s hard to pick out specifics.
I think that we are very, very proud of that dual-layeredness that you’re talking about.
It’s a little bit like watchingRugratsback in the day like this.
I think it’s very similar with the D&D stuff.
I think [there are] D&D jokes, like really kind of inside baseball jokes.
You set off the trap, you fools!
It’s the corpse scene, you know?
That’s another gremlin D&D moment.
Because you get to be that ass-kicker.
PAGE: I think it’s getting to revel in being Inigo Montoya a little bit, you know?
It’s like, I amso muchthe shiny, chivalrous hero.
Someone previously in the interviews pointed out the first thing I do in the movie is save a cat.
I think getting to do that is what really turned me on about this character.
There’d be no development.
