Giancarlo Esposito mentions shooting for “multiple different endings”


After yesterday’s official Far Cry 6 reveal on Ubisoft Forward, Giancarlo Esposito, who plays lead antagonist Anton Castillo, has shared new details about his role.
Speaking to HypeBeast, Esposito discusses “doing multiple takes for multiple different endings,” adding, “So the world is more complete now because you as a human being can make a decision about what happens with respect to Anton Castillo. It’s a new world, and it’s great to be in. ”

The premise of the game is that Yara and its capital city Esperanza, described as “the most expansive Far Cry playground to date” and explained by Ubisoft’s Chris Watters as “the franchise’s first urban setting”, is oppressed by the Anton dictatorship. Anton is also training his son, Diego, to take care of him. You will play as Dani Rojas, a local that joins the revolution to free Yara. Part of the game’s focus seems to revolve around Diego’s future role in Yara, and whether he accepts his father’s influence. Esposito’s comments could refer to the decisions his character will have to make, not only about Anton’s fate, but also about Diego’s future and Yara’s future.

Esposito added that this setup was a tempting aspect of the role. “When I heard about this particular character, at first, I really thought, ‘Oh, a little island nation, a little African island nation that could be Latin America, that would be a way to tell this character apart from anything I’ve’ played Before. “” He discussed his character more in the interview included in the video above, saying: “Anton’s ability to lead is what drives him. His ability to create a better world for his people is what drives him. “He adds that” Anton is very intelligent in the way he manipulates Diego … He has a saying, ‘truth or lie, truth or lie’, and the truth is will always be the winner, but does Anton always tell the truth? “

Far Cry 6 will launch on February 18, 2021 for Xbox Series X and Xbox One. Pre-orders are now available, and we’ve detailed the different Far Cry 6 pre-order editions if you want to see them before the release date.
