I usually rehearse with the actors for a couple weeks before we start shooting. I found a bunch of pics of us rehearsing scenes from #GotGVol2. Here's the whole gang rehearsing the scene where Mantis feels Quill's feelings. https://twitter.com/KyleJerichow/status/1281791030724120577
This is the scene with Drax and Mantis on the stairs, the strange beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Here's Yondu making the ultimate sacrifice for Quill. I wanted to see how they would look shot from above, so this was as much researching the hold as it was going over the lines and performances.
Some of the rehearsal time is taken up just going over lines, and the meaning of a scene, finding our center. This is me, @prattprattpratt, & @zoesaldana discussing their bedroom argument on Ego's planet.
This is Rocket and Yondu rehearsing "I know who you are, boy, because you're me!" scene. Yes, my dog was with us a lot. (People are asking what the tape on the floor is - these are all of the different sets' outlines exactly mapped out).
Going over the aftermath of Nebula & Gamora's fight. "You were the one who wanted to win, and I just wanted a sister!"
A map I drew during the rehearsal of the Quill & Gamora bedroom argument of where they go, from out on the balcony, to Gamora on the couch as Quill stands in the doorway, to besides the bed arguing, and Quill pacing away.
When an actor can't be there (or in this case it wasn't necessary they were there as it was the end of a long scene Kurt Russell wasn't a part of), our co-producer Simon often steps in. Here he is as Ego in the moment of his arrival.
