It contains powerful and complex messages in the stories, many of which relate to young people and children. I don’t think it will be like any other iteration we’ve seen before. I’m really excited to be a part of it. I am honored that Disney chose me to play another villain in their world. I am surrounded by very talented people, including Mr. [Tom] Hanks. It’s a joy to think that I’m in a movie with this legend. It will be Disney’s best live action.

In “ Pinocchio ” he will bring to life the coachman, a character responsible for attracting children to Ilha dos Prazeres, with the promise to leave them free from their parents and their chores – and where they are turned into donkeys and sold. as slaves in market.
