Set in the late 1980s, Cassandro delves into the true story of Saúl Armendáriz (Gael García Bernal), a gay wrestler from El Paso, who rises to international stardom after he creates the character "Cassandro," the "Liberace of Lucha Libre" and competes as an exótico in Mexico. As he enters the world of Lucha Libre, Saúl meets Sabrina (Roberta Colindrez) and gains not only a trainer, but a friend who helps him find the courage to become who he truly is—in and out of the ring.

Speaking with Collider, Gael García Bernal spoke about what he learned about lucha libre and himself during his preparation for the role, what it has been like to bring this film to the widest audience possible, what he hopes changes for smaller films to get more support on release, and the experience of seeing movies in cinemas. Bernal also spoke about what wrestling skills he took from Cassandro on to his upcoming Hulu series La Máquina, where he stars as an aging boxer opposite Diego Luna, whom he has also teamed up with on the upcoming The Boys: Mexico series—though he was tight-lipped about the highly anticipated spin-off. Check out all of this and so much more in the video at the top of the article, or in the full transcript below.
