Diego Luna's favorite Andor co-stars are Stellan Skarsgård and a droid
The Rogue One actor made some new friends in a galaxy far, far away
With the premiere of Andor just under a month out, a delightful new Diego Luna promo tour is kicking off. (Though this time, he’s probably not going to make too many comments about the intriguing possibilities of Jabba the Hutt’s skin texture.) The new series revisits the actor’s character Cassian Andor from Rogue One, filling in the five years before he went on the movie’s fateful mission. Ahead of his return to a galaxy far, far away, Luna sat down with Entertainment Weekly to chat about the Star Wars show and hyped up his two favorite co-stars: Stellan Skarsgård and the droid B2EMO.
“Stellan is a man I admire, I consider a friend. I’ve been trying to work with him for a long time, you know?” Luna says, noting that they were previously supposed to co-star in a film that fell through. “Being on set with him was perfect, it felt so right. It felt like I was doing something I owed to myself for a long time, you know? He’s a very humble actor, he arrives to find out what he’s capable to do with you.”
Skarsgård is, of course, a highly-respected actor with decades of work under his belt, who can go from various collaborations with Lars von Trier to Mamma Mia! and The Avengers. The same can’t be said for Luna’s other favorite scene partner, which requires a team of three puppeteers on set.
