"And with this one, especially, you have people like Kathryn Hahn and you get Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr. They breathe and bring things you never could have imagined, that's part of the joy of doing it. "It's the same with any movie, you get an actor into a part and suddenly that actor becomes the part. The actors were able to bring a lot to the table, Johnson said, so much so that he felt he'd "be a fool to not" give them the space to add nuances to their characters.
