Pedro Pascal recently visited South by Southwest Film Festival to promote his new film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Pascal plays Javi, a rich criminal who also happens to be a Nicolas Cage super-fan, even paying the actor to come to his private estate for his birthday party. From there, this semi-fictionalized version of Cage is approached by the U.S. government to spy on Pascal’s character and his illegal business dealings.
At the crux of this new film is Javi’s affection for Cage, which appears to be mutual based on the most recent trailer. Given this, Pascal was asked if Javi loves Nicolas Cage more than Din Djarin does Grogu:
“That’s an impossible question to answer. I had never even knew that that could be a competition. It’s a question worth answering. That’s how much Javi loves Nicolas Cage, because we all know how much Mando loves Grogu.”
Pascal gives a coy answer, but it’s always nice to see the actor reiterating the bond between Mando and his adoptive son.
