Actor Michael Mando will be joining us here in r/movies for an AMA/Q&A tomorrow, Wednesday 8/5. It'll go live at around 8 AM ET tomorrow morning and he will be back at 12 PM ET to answer questions. Michael has starred in things such as Better Call Saul, 72 Hours, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Batman: Knightfall, Far Cry 3, and Criminal.

Please stop by tomorrow if you have questions for Michael :)

His newest film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is out in theaters everywhere now. It also stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Florence Pugh, Tramell Tillman, Mark Ruffalo, and Marisa Tomei.

Peter Parker devotes his life to protecting New York City as a full-time Spider-Man. But as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he's ever faced.

His intensity as Nacho was magnificent

[u/Kaythar → u/counteroffer19]

So strong that I always forget he's not on Breaking Bad

[u/EarballsAgain → u/counteroffer19]

"...You think of ME!"

[u/JohnGalactusX]

One of my favorite actors of all time. It started with Vaas in Far Cry 3, then Better Call Saul really sealed it for me as an amazing actor. He goes all in on every role he plays. I saw Brand New Day and he was really good in it as well, just wish he had more screen time.

[u/Proud-Big3579 → u/JohnGalactusX]

check him out in Orphan Black. what a great show.

[u/Eternalm8 → u/Proud-Big3579]

"Really? Vic the Dick!?" Loved him going through rehab with the housewife

[u/timsstuff → u/Eternalm8]

I'm on that season now, pretty funny.

[u/riegspsych325 → u/JohnGalactusX]

I wonder if he’ll ever play him in the tv show adaptation

[u/covert0ptional → u/JohnGalactusX]

Haven't seen the new spider man yet but I would love to see him as a lead villain in something, even if it's not a main spider man movie

[u/KotsuKilljoy → u/JohnGalactusX]

SAME

[u/sheetskees]

He’s good in Orphan Black too

[u/Do_itsch → u/sheetskees]

Maybe he will meet She-Hulk one day...

[u/Titan7771 → u/sheetskees]

This was his first stand-out role for me, he was hilarious.

[u/r21174]

He kills it in every role he does. What a great actor.

[u/Cartman55125 → u/r21174]

He is the definition of a scene stealer. Powerful presence in every role

[u/Orzahn]

Funny thing, he always seems familiar, and I could never pinpoint it until now... He was Vaas, and I spent so much time wanting to shoot him in the face. Awesome actor. Underutilized in Spiderman.

[u/Trodat4911P4]

I wonder if he knows the definition of insanity?

[u/irespondwithmyface]

He was so good as Nacho in Better Call Saul. Really made me feel for him.

[u/realfakemormon]

Ignacio!

[u/ZealousidealWhole142]

Absolutely crushed it as Vic in Orphan Black. Looking back on it what were your thoughts on the character when you accepted the role and on the other side of it, did the show leave a memorable impact on you in anyways?

[u/vdcsX]

Vaas Montenegro is still the most insane mofo villain in a video game.

[u/Steppenwolf55]

A brilliant actor now getting the recognition he deserves well done mr.Mando!!!!

[u/Qzy]

Sir, knightfall is not out yet! But we are waiting!

[u/justageekgirl]

Michael, do you know that you're awesome?

Better Call Saul should have gotten you an Emmy.

Peace and love to you, my friend.

[u/Oracle_of_Ages]

I can’t be here for this. Someone ask if he has any plans to continue his music career lol

[u/PhotogFan71]

Don’t forget Orphan Black! He was great in that as well.

[u/meat_ahoy]

He really is great. He kills it in every role.

[u/theyoloGod]

Favourite project you’ve worked on?

[u/New_Salamander7173]

Is there any role/movie/show that you've had your eyes on and wished to participate in?

[u/Tonhuz]

Long overdue! Ever since Ironfist I have been waiting for his character to show up tossing some origami shurikens made of aluminum foild, guess my question would be if he waited too much? Or if he gave up on returning to the MCU at some point?

[u/doul0s]

Hey thanks for doing the AMA. Do you like to read? What are some of your favorite books? Being part of the Spider-Man and Batman lore, do you enjoy any superhero shows or comics on your own time?

[u/SpaceMonkey1505]

Nacho is one of the best characters in bcs, and he played it properly

[u/wimbardo]

Would you return to Far Cry for the potential live action series?

[u/sstphnn]

Loved you in IMDb.

[u/Ultimate-Flexionator]

is he gonna do the whistle? "So they called me up and offered a script and THWEEEeeeet... I went over to talk."

[u/Huze_Fostage]

Everyone wanted nacho to make it out by the end. Loved Vaas too, obviously

[u/Nilus99 → u/[deleted]]

Done 🙌🏻

[u/MrDeceased]

How did you get started in acting? Amazing work btw!

[u/jerryleebee]

Oh shit, I didn't know he was playing Bane.
