Anna shared her experience of receiving unexpected promotions, which led to her having to navigate the power dynamics between herself as an actor and producer, and the director she was working with.

This can be a challenging and unexpected revelation. However, it's important to remember that everyone is learning and figuring things out together. Despite the uncertainty, Kendrick expressed her confidence in the decisions she's made in her career, including her role in the upcoming Disney+ film "Noelle," which will be available to stream on November 12th.
