The 42-year-old Mexican is one of the most recognizable Latino talents in Hollywood, a consistently reliable working actor who delivers good and often great performances when given the chance. Luna has been in Hollywood for nearly twenty years, mainly playing supporting roles, and is finally stepping into the franchise spotlight with Tony Gilroy’s slow-burn space adventure Andor, the latest entry in the ever-expanding Star Wars universe. Andor, where he also serves as an executive producer, provides Luna with his first starring role since Netflix’s Narcos and represents his first chance to lead a major franchise since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Reviews for Andor have been positive, with critics praising its slow approach and declaring it a breath of fresh air amid the increasingly formulaic projects that the Star Wars/Disney machine keeps churning out yearly. On a more personal level, Andor represents Luna’s chance to step up and prove he can carry a big-name IP on his back. Easier said than done, especially with a property like Star Wars, infamous for breaking many actors’ rising careers and having one of the most divided and openly confrontational fanbases. But Hollywood is experiencing a pivotal moment for inclusivity and support for Latino talent. And with Andor already renewed for a second season and critics and audiences rooting up for him, Luna has the chance to enter the next stage of his career. In his case, it truly is now or never.

From Mexico with love

Two young men and a woman standing together against a desertic background in the 2001 film Y Tu Mamá También.

Born in Toluca, Diego Luna has the arts running through his veins. His father, Alejandro Luna, is a theater, film, and opera set designer who encouraged his son to love and appreciate the arts, eventually leading him to pursue an acting career. Like his compatriots Salma Hayek, Eiza González, and his long-time best friend, Gael García Bernal, Luna had his beginnings on the small screen. Telenovelas are the best way for Mexican talent to make a name for themselves, providing them with enough acting experience to prepare them for the transition to Hollywood and endearing them to the Mexican audience.

Luna’s naturalistic and effortless charm was on full display from the very beginning; he often played spirited and relatable young men surrounded by chaotic circumstances. Never was his boyish appeal clearer than in Alfonso Cuarón’s 2001 road film Y Tu Mamá También, which catapulted him and co-star Gael García Bernal to international prominence. As Tenoch, Luna was a precocious talent who refused to be ignored. A coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a pivotal time in Mexican politics, Y Tu Mamá También was a game-changer for Latino talent on the international stage. Not only did it make stars out of Cuarón, Luna, and García Bernal, but it redefined Mexican cinema’s reach and influence, starting a movement that placed Latino storytelling on a rising path.

By being front and center in the film that started it all, Luna and Bernal became unintentional but willing leaders of the movement. Their careers largely existed in parallel to one another, with each taking a distinctive and ultimately fruitful approach; whereas Luna favored supporting roles in such major Hollywood productions as Frida, The Terminal, Milk, and Elysium, Bernal focused on provocative and “daring,” often experimental projects that placed him front and center, like The Crime of Padre Amaro, Bad Education, and The Science of Sleep.

The result, however, was the same, as both Luna and García Bernal held the title of “most recognizable Mexican actors” in Hollywood for years — they still do, in fact. Well aware of their impact and the place their real-life friendship had on the cultural lexicon, Luna and Bernal co-starred in numerous films, although none were as influential as Y Tu Mamá También. Above all, the duo paved the way for future Latino talent in Hollywood by redefining the standards of who a leading man could be.

Breaking through

It could be easy to discard Luna’s influence in Hollywood — after all, he lacks the Oscar nomination that would turn him into a “prestige” actor or the major commercial hit that would make him a box-office draw. However, Luna’s career has something much more important: consistency. The actor has been working for over twenty years, never once failing to impress even in the smallest and most thankless roles. The longevity of his career speaks not only to his talent and resilience but his influence and impact on an industry that actively boxes Latino talent and encourages them to stay in their lane.

But Luna has never stayed in one lane, pursuing different venues, including producing and directing, exploring different genres like sci-fi and romantic comedy, and doing his utter best to break new ground for those coming after him. Luna has played the obligatory roles for a Latino working actor — mainly drug dealers and illegal immigrants –, but he’s never indulged their harmful tropes and conventionalities. There’s a dignity to his performances, a willingness to reject audiences’ expectations. Luna favors nuance and subtlety; even in Narcos‘ most brutal scenes, there’s a softness to his choices that makes him all the more compelling.

You could fault Luna for indulging Hollywood’s idea of Latino actors. You could also blame him for “glorifying” violence in a country that already endures too much of it. But there is no point in recriminating, especially when Luna has been very open about the physical and emotional hardships of playing such a figure. Actors act, and if we were to shun all who play reprehensible characters, there’d be no actors left to admire. The fact remains that Luna has been at the forefront of Latino advancement in Hollywood for years now, and his contributions often go overlooked. Narcos México gave him more exposure than any of his other projects in the 2010s, with the obvious exception of Rogue One.

We are at a crucial time for representation in Hollywood, and Latino talent is breaking casting boundaries. Luna’s Narcos co-star Tenoch Huerta will make a splash as Namor, the Submariner, in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. And his best friend, Gael García Bernal, will make his MCU debut with the Werewolf By Night Disney+ Halloween special, an ode to creature features and B-horror movies of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Salma Hayek, Oscar Isaac, and Pedro Pascal continue striving to increase Latino exposure in Hollywood, finally breaking into the big-budget blockbuster territory that remained closed to them for years. With Andor, Luna joins them on the frontlines, but let’s not pretend like he hasn’t been fighting this war for decades now.

The rebel at the right time

Diego Luna walking among a factory-like space in Andor.

Star Wars is in a weird place. The much-maligned prequels divided the fandom, and things only worsened once the sequels arrived. You could blame Disney — their factory-like approach to “content” is certainly responsible for some of the franchise’s problems — but there’s also a case to be made that the Star Wars universe was stretched too thin, too fast. The galaxy far, far away is certainly a compelling and fascinating universe, but does that mean audiences want to spend an unlimited amount of time in it?

Andor has been both praised and criticized for marking a stark departure from the Easter egg, fan-service-dominated landscape permeating over the last Star Wars projects. Tony Gilroy’s vigorous, grounded, almost naturalistic approach to the franchise feels like a breath of fresh air amid the murky, largely homogenous styles of previous Star Wars entries. But there’s a distinctive lack of “action” in Andor, especially considering its slow-burn approach to storytelling. Gilroy is more concerned with the human side of the “Wars,” favoring political intrigue and plot rather than action setpieces and Jedi fanfare. And while Andor is far from Succession in space, it’s far more narratively complex than something like Boba Fett.

Yet, therein lies its appeal. Andor can revitalize Star Wars and make it feel timely and meaningful again, and Luna is front and center, perhaps handling the biggest challenge of his career. It’s not a matter of whether he can do it — rest assured, he can — but rather one of whether he’ll be allowed to or fall prey to the Star Wars machine. After all, this is the franchise that kept Pedro Pascal hidden behind a helmet, wasted Ewan McGregor, and reduced Temuera Morrison to an afterthought in what was supposed to be his show. No IP chews and spits out actors like Star Wars does. But Luna has faced and conquered tougher challenges; aided by Tony Gilroy’s vision and a story that lends itself to a decidedly humanistic approach, his time in the spotlight might provide him with a showcase worthy of his talents.

It’s been a long road for Luna, but he’s stayed relevant and consistent, defying conventions and even expectations. It might be exaggerated and outright insulting to call Andor his reward, but it’s certainly an acknowledgment of the place he’s crafted for himself in Hollywood. If anything, beyond what Andor achieves for its struggling franchise, the show should have a lasting effect on Luna’s long-term career. If this is his equivalent of “one for them, one for me,” then we will pay close attention to see what this fascinating and versatile actor does next. Perhaps something with the Gilroys? A spiritual sequel to Nightcrawler has never sounded more appealing.

Organizers of San Diego Comic-Con appear to be taking a “show must go on” approach to this year’s event.

In a tweet directed at potential attendees, SDCC brass gave the impression that the 2020 convention — scheduled for late July — could still happen. This despite stark warnings from the federal government that the coronavirus pandemic could last well into summer.

“To our amazing Comic-Con and WonderCon fans: We understand how difficult the current climate has been for all of us and appreciate your continued support through these trying times,” read the tweet. “No one is as hopeful as we are that we will be able to celebrate #SDCC2020 together come July. As we continue to monitor the situation with local authorities, we will post updates on our social channels! Until then, remember: ‘A hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.’ — Christopher Reeve.”

Back in February, several major Hollywood studios were already contemplating the possibility of pulling out of the fan convention. “There’s obviously concern,” said one unnamed exec at a major studio. “For now we’re taking a wait-and-see approach.”

SDCC is big business for San Diego, last year generating an estimated $ 149 million in regional impact to the city.  Hotels begin accepting reservations later this month, so a decision is expected soon.

Argentine football legend Diego Maradona has offered support for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro after the leader was targeted by an alleged assassination attempt involving exploding drones on Saturday.

Maradona, who has gone on record with his support of Maduro’s leadership of Venezuela in recent months, once again backed the president after an explosion in Caracas close to an event where the president was giving a speech.

Maduro has accused “ultra right-wing” opponents, who he claims are in alliance with the Colombian government, of being behind the incident. 

Argentinian football great Maradona, 57, offered his support in a post on Instagram, writing:“An [assassination] attempt against Nicolas Maduro is an attempt against the nation. Venezuela doesn’t give up. Strength, dear friend!” 

According to some reports, a group called the ‘Flannel Soldiers’ claimed responsibility for the blast, which was said to have been caused by drones filled with C-4 explosives.

However, some accounts have stated that the explosion was caused by a gas tank combusting in a nearby residential complex.

Maradona proclaimed his support for Maduro a year ago, saying that he would fight for a “free Venezuela” and referred to himself as a “soldier” for the president.

This came after a constitutional crisis in Venezuela, with Maduro’s opponents alleging that the president was bypassing his constitutional and parliamentary requirements.

Earlier this year the former footballer was also seen supporting Maduro during his presidential election campaign. 

Former World Cup winner Maradona, who was appointed chairman of Belarusian football club Dinamo Brest this summer, recently attended the World Cup in Russia where his stadium antics frequently made the headlines.

Portugal vs Spain: Live World Cup score, goals and updates

Portugal and Spain get their World Cup campaigns underway with the Iberian derby at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi.

Spain’s World Cup build-up has been dominated by shock sacking of coach Julen Lopetegui and appointment of stand-in coach Fernando Hierro.

The developments have completely overshadowed preparations for tonight’s game against European champions and neighbours Portugal, which had been one of the stand-out clashes of the group stages.

Portugal are aiming to do something that only three teams have ever done before by winning the World Cup immediately after winning the Euros.

PORTUGAL 1-1 SPAIN – RONALDO (4), COSTA (23)

Portugal XI: Patricio, Cedric, Pepe, Fonte, Guerreiro, Carvalho, Moutinho, Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Goncalo Guedes, Ronaldo.

Spain XI: De Gea, Nacho, Pique, Ramos, Alba, Busquets, Koke, David Silva, Isco, Iniesta, Costa.

37: Close! Iniesta is a few inches from giving Spain the lead. He tip-toes his way past a couple of challenges before dragging it wide.

35: Diego Costa is winning some praise from the Spain fans having tracked back the length of the pitch to win the ball back.

32: Even the referee is puffing his cheeks after that flurry of activity. Looks knackered to me.

Anyway, the tempo has settled a little bit but Portugal are finding things difficult. They are chasing shadows as Spain tighten their grip.

29: Danger! Spain are running rot now. Bruno Fernandes trips Nacho to earn a caution and David Silva hits the free-kick straight into the wall.

26: What is happening here?! Seconds after Spain equalise, Isco thinks he’s grabbed the lead with a thunderbolt.

His shot slams against the underside of the bar, bounces off the line and Portugal somehow scramble it away to safety.

23: Diego Costa is an absolute beast. Why on earth did Chelsea allow him to leave?!

The Spanish striker has pulled his nation level with a stunning solo effort. It’s vintage stuff from the Atletico Madrid striker, who bullies three defenders before pinging it home.

The referee checks VAR to see if there was a foul in the build-up. Nothing given and the goal stands.

PORTUGAL 1-0 SPAIN

22: Cristiano Ronaldo slaps his thighs with anger. And rightly so. It’s another superb counter-attack from Portugal with CR7 unselfishly laying it back for Guedes, whose first touch is absolutely abysmal.

This is an absolute belter folks. A belter.

21: Sergio Busquets booked? Surely not… The Spanish midfielder is shown a yellow card for dragging back Goncalo Guedes.

Ronaldo decides that it’s within shooting range and nearly takes Sergio Ramos’ head off with the shot.

18: Never convincing. Portugal turn defence into attack in the blink of an eye. Cristiano Ronaldo flicks a cute clearance to Goncalo Guedes, who runs the length of the pitch but can’t escape Sergio Ramos.

15: Spain have improved over the last five minutes with more possession but they’ve not created anything to trouble Rui Patricio.

12: Chance! The ball falls kindly for David Silva inside the penalty area but his left leg slipped and he skewed it miles over the bar.

9: Spain might want to consider livening up here. They’ve been really flat in the opening stages with even Iniesta struggling to complete passes in the middle of the park.

3: It’s Cristiano Ronaldo vs David de Gea. That’s a pretty high quality battle. The Real Madrid star sets up… goal! De Gea is sent the wrong way as Ronaldo curls it into the top right-hand corner.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the fourth player to score in four separate World Cup tournaments (also Pelé, Miroslav Klose and Uwe Seeler).

PENALTY TO PORTUGAL

2: Oooooh, Cristiano Ronaldo might not be welcome back to the Bernabeu having gone down under a soft challenge from Real Madrid team-mate Nacho.

‘STRANGE DAYS’

18:45: Cesc Fabregas, not selected by Julen Lopetegui, is a BBC pundit this evening.

Why he’s arrived dressed as a pilot, you’ll have to ask him yourself.

Asked about the last couple of days, the Chelsea midfielder said: “It has been a strange couple of days, we don’t really know 100% the details but Julen signed a new contract recently and then he signed for Real Madrid. From a players’ point of view, maybe it’s not ideal because you want stability and less problems in your head, but I believe in the ability of the players.”

Bet he wishes Lopetegui was sacked a few weeks ago…

RONALDO vs RAMOS

18:35: I don’t know about you guys, but I’m only here to watch Cristiano Ronaldo vs Sergio Ramos.

The positives are that you either get to see Sergio Ramos lose OR you get to see Cristiano Ronaldo lose…

I can hear Real Madrid president Florentino Perez dying of anxiety in Madrid as we speak.

JOSE MOURINHO: THIS SHOULD NOT AFFECT SPAIN

18:30: Jose Mourinho, fresh from his chinwag with Vladimir Putin, doesn’t think Spain’s managerial rollercoaster will make a blind bit of difference tonight.

“I think it’s a strange situation,” Mourinho told Russian television. “I don’t know if Spain sacked the manager of if the manager sacked himself with the way everything happened between himself and Real Madrid.

“I feel sorry for the manager of course because he went with the team for the last two years and of course he would deserve to be with the team, but I also understand the position of the federation. They just gave him a new contract for the future.

“The fact that it’s not Lopetegui on the bench and it’s Fernando Hierro honestly I don’t think is going to make a huge difference, because the players, they pick themselves.

“They are so good, the team is so good, so automatic, that I don’t think it’s a huge problem for them.”

Anyway, Sergio Ramos joked Spain’s World Cup build-up had become like a funeral after the shock sacking of coach Julen Lopetegui.

Captain Ramos and stand-in coach Fernando Hierro were questioned numerous times about the remarkable situation.

“I want to say goodbye with a smile because it seems like we are at a funeral,” Ramos said as he answered what reporters had been told would be the last question of a 17-minute press conference. “Tomorrow a World Cup starts for Spain and I think this is wonderful.”

Kev: Have to say I’d be more encouraged to bet on Spain if they started Thiago and Rodrigo over Koke and Diego Costa. Really liking the offensive line-up from Portugal.

Alan: These World Cup games have been horrible so far. Hard to watch. Hopefully Spain vs Portugal changes that.

Manu: Spain v Portugal at tournaments has always been a damp squib. This won’t be different. Expect a boring 1-0 win for either side.

LATE DRAMA…

18:10: Will this be dubbed the World Cup of stoppage-time goals?

Granted, it’s not a very catchy phrase but it’s appropriate given the first three games.

First Russia scored twice in added time, then Jose Gimenez nets a late winner for Uruguay, and now Morocco’s Aziz Bouhaddouz has scored an incredible 95th-minute own goal to give Iran a historic World Cup win.

GOOD OR BAD?

17:55: Spanish fans arriving in Sochi for their opening World Cup match against Portugal are split on whether their managerial turmoil will affect the side’s chances.

“We are now expectant rather than confident. Today all will be revealed,” said Spanish fan Javier Rojo. “Today we’ll find out if they are up for it. I am sure they will be affected but I don’t know if it will affect their performances. This game will tell us what we need to know.”

“I am angry with Lopetegui, I am angry with the president of Real Madrid, and I am angry with the president of the Spanish football association for the way they all handled this,” said Manuel Jose Sanchez, a Real Madrid fan from Salamanca.

“The feeling is that they made us a laughing stock. There were lots of other ways out of this and they chose the worst option.”
