I'm sad for the family obviously. I'm kind of intrigued to see where we go. Hopefully we don't go off the rails emotionally, I mean, as a country.

That sounds really rough, but I don't know. I've never experienced such a national tragedy as I'm seeing. That's the thing, I don't know. I'm not a Londoner. I don't have no idea how everybody feels, so yeah, it's wild. It is wild. It seemed like she was going to live forever. That was one of those things. And she will." (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR, JAKE GYLLENHAAL, SAYING: "It's an incredibly sad time for the country and for the family and I always think all the time about family and people that someone loves regardless of their position - the family around someone is who I think about. I'm thinking about them." D23 SIGN VARIOUS EXTERIORS OF D23 CONVENTION

British actor Jude Law, who is starring as Captain Hook in 'Peter Pan & Wendy', told Reuters "I'm still sort of coming to terms with it, I suppose, and what it feels. I'm sad for the family obviously. I'm kind of intrigued to see where we go. Hopefully we don't go off the rails emotionally, I mean, as a country. I think one has to remember her with now just the respect, her life, and duty well lived deserved. You also have to look to the future and think about what Charles could bring to the monarchy and the country. Yeah, it's going to take a while to digest, isn't it?"
Israeli actor Gal Gadot, who is playing the Evil Queen in the upcoming adaptation of 'Snow White' said "She's going to leave a long legacy, a beautiful respectful legacy behind her. May she rest in peace."
Gadot and co-star Zegler shot the film earlier in the year in London. Zegler told Reuters "Obviously you immediately think of everyone there who loves the Queen. Her face is everywhere. I lived in South Kensington right by Kensington Palace and I can't imagine what it's like there with all of the crowds at the moment. That sounds really rough."
Jake Gyllenhaal, who is lending his voice to upcoming animation 'Strange World' said "It's an incredibly sad time for the country and for the family and I always think all the time about family and people that someone loves regardless of their position - the family around someone is who I think about. I'm thinking about them."
D23 launched the live action and animated films they are preparing to release in cinemas over the next two years on Friday.
On Saturday (September 10), they will be showcasing their new projects in conjunction with Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm.
