When I did improvise, I felt more a part of the process. I was able to be looser not improvise, but decide what it was gonna be.

Because Navid adjusted the story as we talked about it. With this process, I did my prep as if I was preparing for a film.Īnd then there was playtime. Here, he explains:ĭN: How was the collaboration between you and Navid, and how did it compare to what you’ve experienced in TV and film?ĮSPOSITO: Film, you do a page a day or two pages at most. It’s a future that actors are increasingly diving into (see: Shawn Ashmore in Quantum Break and Norman Reedus and many others in Death Stranding), and Esposito gets why. And it’s from this vantage point, Esposito says, that he’s come to believe in the unique storytelling future that today’s video games provide. It’s from this perch that he’ll torment gamers, who play as rebel Dani Rojas. And Esposito, who plays villain Anton Castillo (and is featured on the Far Cry 6 box art), has a massive role in the latest game’s political saga.Įsposito plays a dictator ruling the imaginary island of Yara (which is loosely modeled after Cuba) in a narrative that has him pushing his son, Diego, to follow in his footsteps. Ubisoft’s Far Cry franchise has spent the last decade establishing itself as an intriguing sandbox that explores slices of political intrigue. Esposito, who’s 63 years old, will play a starring role in one of 2021′s most anticipated video games, Far Cry 6, and it’s a role unlike anything Esposito has played before. Esposito stresses the importance of this dynamic since "We meet at a time where he’s trying to empower his son to take up his mantle and really embrace ideas that would allow him to see that soon he will probably be the next leader in this country.In early October, all of that will change. This logic can be seen throughout the Far Cry 6's official reveal trailer, in which Castillo attempts to educate his son and likely successor Diego on the "importance" of their rule by comparing it to a live grenade he places in Diego’s hands. And these are very primary questions that so many, I think, presidents and local leaders and small countries ask themselves, you know, when they get in bed with America things change, but does Antón want that in his country? I don’t think so." In fact, due to his own upbringing as a dictator's son, Esposito describes the character as complicated, saying, "he does want the best in the end and he does want the people to not sell out their country.

However, despite being Far Cry 6’s villain, Castillo does not see himself as the bad guy. RELATED: Ubisoft Executives Leave Company Amid Misconduct Allegations
