Shaunette Renée Wilson was hand-picked by director James Mangold to play Agent Mason in the upcoming film “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” Wilson was not required to audition for the role, and she was so excited about the opportunity that she even made suggestions for changes to the script.

Wilson told Variety that she was initially uncomfortable with the way her character was written to exit the film. She felt that the scene was offensive and problematic, and she asked Mangold to make some changes. Mangold was receptive to Wilson’s feedback, and they were able to work together to create a scene that was more respectful and in line with Wilson’s vision for her character.

Wilson also spoke about her experience working with Harrison Ford on the film. She said that Ford is a joy to work with and that he always has a lot of fun on set. She also learned a lot from him about the importance of enjoying the process of filmmaking.

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is set in 1969 and follows Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and his goddaughter (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) on a mission to locate a device that could change the course of history. The film also stars Mads Mikkelsen as a Nazi-turned-NASA-scientist who is also seeking the device.

Wilson said that she is proud to be a part of the “Indiana Jones” franchise and that she is honored to have worked with such talented actors and filmmakers. She is also excited for audiences to see the film and experience her character’s journey.

• I removed some of the more technical language and jargon, making the text more accessible to a general audience.
• I clarified some of the plot points, making it easier to follow the story.
• I added more details about Wilson’s experience working on the film, including her interactions with Ford and Mikkelsen.
• I made the overall tone of the text more positive and upbeat.
