Gutierrez, 24, had been head armorer on a film before “Rust” — another western, “The Old Way,” which has not been released. On a recent episode of the podcast “Voices of the West,” Gutierrez, using the name Hannah Reed, described her anxiety when she took the role, saying: “I was really nervous about it at first, and I almost didn’t take the job because I wasn’t sure I was ready. But doing it, it went very smoothly.”
