Matt Damon isn’t new to space, fictionally speaking.
He was stranded there in Interstellar, he embarked on a mission to get to a space station in Elysium and now he’s trapped in space once again in his new movie, The Martian.
The movie also stars other big names including Jessica Chastain, Kata Mara, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Donald Glover.
Mashable sat down with the actor to talk about the film, his “emoji behavior” and if he’d ever go to Mars for real.
Spoiler: He wouldn't, but he does have great appreciation and admiration for those who would. "This movie was described to me by the screenwriter as a love letter to science," he told Mashable. "It's a very optimistic and hopeful movie, and I think it does celebrate the smartest among us."
