At the Annecy Animation Festival in France, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke to Andy Serkis about his new animated movie, Animal Farm, and asked about his reaction to his character Kino Loy not returning for Andor season 2.
“I ultimately think it’s best for the character. It was such a great arc, and it had a very, very definite and heroic conclusion. I think, in many ways, to go back would be difficult because it has left a mark. I was so surprised at how emotionally effective that character was, actually, and so I think it’s way, way better that we leave him in Narkina 5, on his own.”
He also asked if Serkis had been watching Season 2 despite his character not having a role, to which he responded, “I haven’t had the chance. I’ve heard it’s incredible.” Serkis fired back with a question of his own, asking if it was “more of a masterpiece” than Season 1, to which Weintraub jokingly told him that Season 1 is better because he’s in it. Weintraub finished out the interview by asking if he’s noticed more people talking to him about the show due to Season 2’s rise in popularity:
“Yeah. This year, I’ve actually done a bunch of conventions, and everyone wants to talk about Andor. It’s remarkable how much it’s affected people, which is great. It’s such a beautiful piece of writing, such a beautiful conceit. Tony Gilroy and all the directors who worked on those episodes just cut something brilliant.”
