Wilson acknowledged that action movies can pose a danger at times, but she didn’t seem overly concerned about what transpired.
“I hopefully will be totally, totally fine,” she said.
Wilson’s movie was permitted to continue filming amid the SAG-AFTRA strike due to the fact that it is an independently produced film.
