Megalopolis Interview: Giancarlo Esposito & Nathalie Emmanuel

From his masterful performances as the terrifying Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad and the incomparable Moff Gideon from The Mandalorian, to his big-screen turns in two of this year's blockbuster horrors, Abigail and MaXXXine, Giancarlo Esposito is always an unforgettable on-screen presence. Along with her memorable roles in Game of Thrones and The Fast Franchise, Nathalie Emmanuel recently chatted with Collider about her brand new action-packed Peacock original The Killer by celebrated action director John Woo. Together, they star as a conflicted father and daughter in Francis Ford Coppola's bold feature, Megalopolis.

Megalopolis is a brand-new cinematic vision showing a decaying metropolis called New Rome. Within, idealist architect Cesar (Adam Driver) is granted license to demolish and rebuild the city. His nemesis, Mayor Cicero (Esposito), remains committed to keeping New Rome as it is. Torn between them is Julia (Emmanuel), Franklyn's socialite daughter and Cesar's love interest, who, through the tumult, continues her search for life's meaning. The movie also features Aubrey Plaza, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Voight, and more.

Ahead of the film's release, Emmanuel and Esposito sat down with Collider's Steve Weintraub to discuss Coppola's incredible storytelling skills, the challenging, moving, and optimistic themes the film presents, and how, said and told, Megalopolis truly is a spectacle film.
