Zawe Ashton felt 'empowered' by fiancé Tom Hiddleston as she joins MCU

Tom Hiddleston had some key notes for Zawe Ashton as she joins her fiancé as one of the villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The 38-year-old actress is set to hone her skills as Kree revolutionary Dar-Benn in the upcoming film The Marvels. Meanwhile, Hiddleston has played the fan-favourite villain Loki across several films in the franchise.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she opened up about the "incredible conversations" she has had with Hiddleston "about his experience being part of this franchise for over a decade."

"One of the main takeaways from our conversations was, 'What you put into Marvel, you get back,' " the actress shared. "'If you go into this with an open heart and a great work ethic and just want to provide an amazing experience for the fans, you'll have an amazing experience on those sets.'"

"He really empowered me in that way," Ashton added.

On the "practical advice" she received from her baby daddy, Ashton let out a laugh, before adding: "Make sure you have enough zippers to go to the bathroom in your costume."

"Which is very good advice, I realize now," she quipped.

Dan-Bree will face off against the iconic trio of space superheroes, including Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel played by Brie Larson, Monica Rambeau played by Teyonah Parris, and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel played by Iman Vellani.

The film, which is set to release Nov. 10 really "moved" Ashton, explained the Mr. Malcolm’s List star, as she described it as an "all-female sci-fi extravaganza, with a woman on the other side of the camera."

"It's not an environment you're often in — a huge-budget movie with all these badass women and Samuel L. Jackson. That just doesn't happen," she enthused.
