With the surprise unveiling of the never-produced The Hunt For Ben Solo, the world of fandom is sure to be buzzing with news and rumours, and while chatting with The Acolyte‘s stand-out actor Manny Jacinto ahead of Freakier Friday landing on streaming on 12th November, TV Insider had the chance to pick his brains on whether he’d ever consider returning to the role of Qimir, and despite there being no sign of future live action adventures (there’s plenty to talk about regarding the reveal that Lesyle Headland would have linked the fate of Qimir to the Knights of Ren) Jacinto would readily return to the role should the opportunity arise.
“I am always ready, and I would love to run it back if they’d have me. That was a role of a lifetime, and I’m incredibly proud of what we did in The Acolyte and with Oshamir, with that whole relationship.”
“I feel like with a lot of the franchises that we currently have, it’s missing the romance. It’s missing a lot of love and relationships. We have the big fight scenes and the origin stories of these heroes and whatnot, but they don’t really have a relationship with other people. It’s such a weird thing. And that’s why I loved the Qimir and Osha relationship, because we were taking it back to having a relationship in this big world. I think we just need more of that. I think that’s what made the characters and the story more compelling as opposed to just having big fight sequences, which I loved.”
