He'll be back at around 2 PM ET tomorrow (Monday 12/15) to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

His newest movie, The Testament of Ann Lee, is out in theaters nationwide on December 25th.

Synopsis:

> Ann Lee, the founding leader of the Shaker Movement, proclaimed as the female Christ by her followers. Depicts her establishment of a utopian society and the Shakers' worship through song and dance, based on real events.

Will you be in Doomsday?

Dear Mr. Nelson, I recall your part in O Brother, where art though? Did you "get" the movie while you were Shooting it? Did the Coens explain it to the cast? To this day I find it to ne one of the most entertainment but also confusing movies I've seen.

How’s the singing voice? You keeping it in fine fettle?

Di you wanted the design of your character in Brave New World to match the comics design or are you satisfied with the outcome? Also big fan of you acting as a smirk cowboy, just realized you were also a cowboy in Modern Family.

You’ve worked with very different directors in the MCU across a big time gap. Did those different directing styles change how you approached the character, or make you see him differently this time around?

Not a question I just wanna say I love all of your performances. I particularly liked you in Watchmen.

My wife and I loved you in Watchmen. Incredible performance and show. She wants to know: what did the mask smell like?

Guys look at OP's comment. Answer there not here

I loved your character, Buster Scruggs! How much dialogue was scripted and how much was improvised? You just oozed charisma for a unique cowboy.

Dude, youre great! Been saying it for years… thanks for some great characters and performances!

Question: any big plans to work with Joel and Ethan again soon?

Loved him in Minority Report

your character design put me off eating anything green

who is your fav hero/ reality variation of a hero

Is cereal soup?

You're a talented actor. When I heard you were cast in Dune as Count Fenring I was like awesome you're gonna nail then your role was cut. How did that make you feel? Considering Fenring is a footnote in the books but a very important one.

No sir! I know you from holes!

Have any advice for people wanting to tell stories/ join the film industry?

What is your favourite role as an actor?

Mate, when you crosspost an AMA don't copy and paste the title, actually use the title to direct people to the right place.

You're gonna be chasing ghosts up and down this thread, but tbh you at yourself up for failure.

Have you ever considered getting the soggy bottom boys back together for a surprise show?

Are there any roles for you pre and post Avengers DMD and SW?

maybe in a Disney+ miniseries or presentation?

Why did you even do Cap 4 after seeing such a wacky script? The money?

Do you have any extra gopher you can spare?

How was your experience working with edward norton

do you think brave new world should have been a hulk movie?

Can somebody get Tim a sharpie?
