Teyonah Parris has a mighty impressive filmography at this point. She played Monica Rambeau on WandaVision and is set to reprise the role in the Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels. On top of that, there’s Justin Simien's Dear White People, Spike Lee's Chi-Raq, Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk and more. But, she had to start somewhere, right? Parris’ very first feature film was actually a pretty significant production. She starred alongside Reese Witherspoon in the 2010 James L. Brooks-directed comedy How Do You Know.

Witherspoon leads the film as Lisa Jorgenson, a softball player who’s thrown for a loop when she doesn’t earn a spot on the Team USA roster. While reeling from the disappointment, Lisa finds herself in the middle of a love triangle with Owen Wilson’s Matty Reynolds, a professional baseball player, and Paul Rudd’s George Madison, a businessman in hot water due to stock fraud. Parris makes her feature debut in the film playing Riva, another softball player who’s good friends with Lisa.

While on Collider Ladies Night celebrating WandaVision's run on Disney+, we took some time to look back on some of Parris’ earliest credits, How Do You Know included. Check out what she had to say about working with Witherspoon and Brooks in this clip!
