Mashable UK Editor Shannon Connellan sat down with The Fall Guy director David Leitch (Deadpool 2, Bullet Train), producer Kelly McCormick, and actor Winston Duke (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Us).

The four discussed how Taylor Swift's 10-minute version of "All Too Well" ended up in the film, sourcing inspiration from Hollywood's stunt industry, and how the actors and the stunt crew collaborated in this very meta production.

How to watch: The Fall Guy opens in theaters May 3.
