Please let Cameron play Cal in live action, at least as cameo.
I think that’s what they’re leading up to tbh, I don’t think they got this big of an actor to not have him in something big.
@@jamariojackson4289 A video game is something pretty big these days.
@@andreasheinze9685 That is very true.
Romance with him and ahsoka ^_^
See real Luk skywalker
❤
hope to see him cameo some star wars show someday in live action
Hopefully Andor Season 2 🙏
@@skyguy62 how. He’s older than look. By like 19 years they would have to make look older by a lot. Because he’s 20 when Obi wan season 1 takes place. I mean he could be in Obi wan
Nah, keep Cal in the game, live action writters will ruin his character
@@poultry-lover6665 stupid statement
@@Carlisho depends which writers, if it's Dave Filoni it'll be fine
Cameron seems more engaged with the character, plot, and interplay of characters and settings than most Hollywood actors in major motion pictures.
In defense of most Hollywood actors, it's hard investing in a character that you can't develop or explore apart from the fact that he/she/it has to look like you.
Most video game actors are look at last god of war cast
@@Speculaas Also the fact most of them keep getting handed really bad scripts by the worst generation of screen writers in history of Hollywood.
Not the actors fault for getting handed shit scripts. The Marvel generation is one of the worst in movie history.
Well video games and Hollywood are different he’s able to play with his character and engage more cause it’s a game and he has more to play with
We should cherish actors like him and Henry Cavill. People who actually CARE about their roles
Preach
People do? It’s just these directors like to purposely piss off the fan base by doing the actors injustice
I think people do, but we should all still be allowed to enjoy actors who take on a less emotionally close relationship with their work
@@kill4nia736 never said people don't, I just think we all SHOULD
Not even in the same league as cavill
Cal is really well animated in this interview.

I thought it was real for a second
@@Rapscalian I cant tell if ur joking r not but it is real and dont call me a dumbass if you were joking
@@gonboi2899 ur nuts man that’s clearly animated
I love that he talks about the story and its process even though he's not technically the developer. Goes to show how involved he is.
Of course he's involved. He's the protagonist. He has to have a good grasp of the story by this point since he has to read the script.
I enjoy his enthusiasm for the role, but I mean he's literally being asked about that stuff. That's like someone asking what you thought of your food at a restaurant, you describing what you thought of it, and the person asking saying "Wow it just goes to show how involved you are even though you aren't the chef"
Oh look at comment everyone dont get it… just look at johnny depp he dont know nothing about movie he cast
I believe Cameron Monaghan deserves a lot more recognition for his performances. His depiction of Joker in the Gotham TV-series was outstanding.
Don't forget his stunny performance in shameless
His performance as Joker has him in my top 3 for best live action Jokers. He killed it
That joker role was supposed to be the "fake" one, until they realized how great Cameron was, they decided to resurrect him from dead, then they introuced the real joker as a twin of the fake one just to keep Cameron.
He was that great
@@TheTruem4n I Never knew this. He indeed is a very talented actor.
@ricardobreddels123: I will check that out!
@@ricardobreddels123 I know right he's my second favourite joker aside from Heath ledger I really wish he was the joker of the Batman movie at the very least but that didn't happen well at least we will get to see him in the mcu as Adam warlock
4:00 is why Jedi Fallen Order was such a big hit, it treated everyone in the game like it was their first time in Star Wars, but it also had the depth for any long time fan too. Such an amazing series and looking forward to the next game.
I enjoy this story more then the new trilogy honestly. Can’t wait for this one. Finished Fallen Order on Xbox and now it’s the free monthly game for PS plus so working through a replay.
The reason I loved it is that it kept empowering you and handing you new moves that changed the way you play, and it did that all the way through the game. Compare that with GOW Ragnarok, which doesn't even give you another weapon, just leaves you with the same tools from the previous game, and simply hands out loot over and over again which just ups your stats. It does give you more moves, true, but they don't make you _feel_ empowered like the new moves you can unlock in Fallen Order did, and this obsession devs have with perks that up your stats a little bit is infuriating.
Even if you love Ragnarok(and it's a really good game) tell me which of these unlockable upgrades sounds more appealing:
a. an upgrade that reduces your cooldown by 0.5 seconds, or
b. an upgrade that lets you stop blaster bolts in midair, and hold them there with the POWER OF YOUR MIND?
Lol, that's why I love games like Fallen Order and Control, and it's why I hate games like The Division, Gotham Knights, Borderlands, etc..
Meaningless, tiny stat upgrades ARE NOT FUN. Please get this through your heads developers.
@@thesprawl2361 they gave us a lousy spear and not Thor’s hammer Mjolnir.
I agree, let’s just hope Lucasfilm didn’t get “too” hands on with this game
@@scuppo This.
What an articulate, well spoken, and talented dude!
I really cannot wait for this game, Fallen Order was an absolute treat back in 2019, a refreshing take on the franchise which the fanbase unanimously praised and rightfully so
It was alright
Competent game for sure but definitely had some issues and jank. I just replayed the game and got the platinum so it’s fresh in my head lol.
it wasn't unanimously praised liar
@@enoo9003 on the new gen it was smooth, old gen suffered terribly for sure.
@@jamariojackson4289 not trying to be toxic but you clearly don’t kno what you’re talking about. What does frame stutters have to do with jank? And even then, the game was locked 30 fps on last gen. I played on the ps5 update anyways. It’s the combat and platforming system that is janky and weird at times.
This actor is talking like he is the writer or the director I fucking love it. As an actor he is deeply invested in the story and I’m all for it such a talented guy
Wow, he really seems to care about his character and how it affects the game. Charming, honestly. So many people phone in their involvement with games, and if not, they typically don't go this deep about the intentions of the game in interviews. He must really enjoy this character and hopefully he'll get to play him in a live-action portrayal.
You must not watch a lot of game developer people do interviews huh
@@tempoclasse2907 Not really.
@@tempoclasse2907 Monaghan isn't a dev
Had the pleasure of meeting this guy in person in 2018. Cameron is honestly one of the most chill dudes i've ever met in Hollywood; Genuinely laid-back, funny, and he really seemed like he was completely oblivious to his fame.
This character has potential to be one of the best characters in star wars I would prefer him as the main character of the sequel trilogy instead of rey
He has the looks, the talent, and the PASSION for his involvement in the Star Wars lore! When Fallen Order was first announced, I, along with many others, was lukewarm on the announcement. Looking back, he has been the best tool in the comeback of the franchise along with Mandalorian and Andor.
He seems so truly passionate about this character and it’s so amazing to see
i think i just fell in love tbh this man is AMAZING
Loved him in Gotham. Adored his voice in Fallen Order. Please PLEASE may the force allow this dude to bring it to the real life films.
he acted in fallen order, he was in a mocap suit all along
I'm gonna take like 3 days off work when this game comes out! BINGE GAME!!
we NEED a live adaptation, with Cameron as Cal .. even if just for a mini-series. Cameron is an amazing actor!!
I had no idea the character was modeled after a real actor!! Wow we need a TV series with Cameron!!!
Watch shameless he was in it
@@Adam_de831 why would you nuke them like this😭
He nails it at about 3:10 when he is talking about fitting new and interesting into established cannon/lore. That is one of THE most important aspects to creating stories in the SW universe.

Cameron is a great actor. He was Ian on the American version of Shameless. I recognized his voice and face instantly when I saw the trailer for Fallen Order.
I really pray we'll have Cam play live-action Cal. And please don't let Cal die 😅
It’s a franchise now, he won’t die for quite some time
They need to make a new star Wars movie with him in it or at least a tv show
@@MiKaleO bruh a whole movie over 1 charater ?
@@Jarjar2270 what’s so bizarre about that?
@@Jarjar2270 why not? You could say that about any character in any franchise
He is so badass can’t wait to see him in live action give him his own show
He's so genuine and enthusiastic about what he does and his character role. I love it!
I’m currently replaying Jedi Fallen Order. This is my first replay since launch. I’d forgotten just what a great experience this game truly is. Jedi Survivor cannot come soon enough.
I can't emphasize enough how glad I am to see an actor's involvement in a game to the degree that we would see in movies. Not only is it indicative of a game that's likely to do very well, but it means that gaming as a medium is starting to grow in the way that TV and movies did. I hope one day it'll be as normal to have interviews with video game actors as it is with movies and television.
The hero we didn't ask for but now need in live action ❤
From the joker to jedi master, bravo
Has been done before but in reverse. Hamil went from Jedi Master to the Joker.
man he is very easy on the eyes. 😍 hope to see him in live action!!!
👆👆 Congratulations you won🎁🎁Text the name above👆on Telegram and click it open massage to claim your PRIZE''🤝🤝
I didn't even know Cal's look was based on a real person. Pretty cool!
This kid might just be single handedly carrying Star Wars as a media franchise.
This and Andor are the only good things now. Lol
@@sithsaiyan4529 I disagree about Andor but w/e. I can't get more than a few episodes into the shows cus disney has such a fucking woke grasp on them its just disgusting to me. and i am a fucking minority. im so sick of it. even if andor is good - i didnt give it more than an episode before i wrote it off.
@@DekkarJr You, my friend, just described exactly why you definitely should watch Andor ... 😅
I would also throw in the game company Respawn as well. Yes I don't care for Apex Legends but their involvement with both Titan Fall and Fallen Order is a new hope for companies under the EA branding.
@@DekkarJr So you just watched the heist episodes then? Or are you just talking generically and haven't even watched any of it? You have missed the single best bit of star wars media produced in decades. Not sure what exactly there is in Andor that's so 'woke' you would skip the rest of the series?! It is the antithesis of the sequel trilogy in terms of wokeness, how well written the dialogue is, how compelling the characters are - pretty much everything.
I love how much Cameron is in to it. Makes the game so much deeper when you know the actors and developers care as much as us the players.
I absolutely adore Jedi Fallen Order. I'm so excited for Jedi Survivor! I like that Cameron Monaghan knows of where Cal Kestis is at this point of his life. Despite having no involvement
in creating him, he cares about him and his story in the larger context of the Star Wars galaxy. This is a great interview. I wish actors who movies gave damn this much.
i love him. i didn't realize he was a real actor. so great!
Check out tv series Gotham
You should watch him in shameless too as well as Gotham! Amazing actor
Never watched shameless or gotham I see
I love the in depth work Cameron puts into the roles he plays. It shows appreciation and power to your character that few actors can match. Also I love how creative he is in not revealing anything about the story or any spoilers as for us to enjoy the expanding lore of Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.
such a good actor even in a video game. everytime i see him irl i keep expecting him to look over his shoulder at bd1
Give this man a live action cameo! Hopefully he lives after this next game, and he can be integrated into the universe.
Fallen Order felt like a PS2 game in all the best ways. I’m so happy this franchise is continuing
lol i keep seeing sora pfp
Amen bro. Ps. My like became nr 66.. :v
Damn... you're so right, the ps2 games that really stuck with me felt like such personal & immersive experiences. Fallen Order definitely had that same feeling. While i'm thinking about it, the campaign of Red Dead 2 does that for me as well. That feeling of getting lost in the best way in a character and their story. My favorite example of that though is definitely Kingdom Hearts 2. I've played through it countless times but could still start it again and get completely immersed in it.
It's the susessor to the Jedi Knight series
Been replaying Fallen Order in depth to get ready for this! Totally ready to see where this series goes and how it evolves
Same
Just like Sam Witwer he cares for his character and the story around him
When Cal matures to a full Jedi. Imagine Starkiller and Cal crossing paths.....it's a heavy weight fight in the making.
oh my GOD i love this man. he is soo beautiful and u can tell he’s in love with this game. i cant wait to play it, the way he describes it gets me so excited 😭❤
Cool that fallen order is free this month to catch everyone up
How "free" is it, though?
@@Alexthelion93 it's free for PS+ owners, which a lot of people pay for already anyway.
He needs a show.
Loved the first game. Looking forward to this one as well. Hopefully these are just the beginning of seeing some really good Star Wars games again.
Me too
it is hehe
if EA loses the license, it would be nice to see a Star Wars game from yours truely FromSoftware
@@tahzib1451 they did, Ubisoft is making an open world, create your own character fully customizable Star Wars game as we speak. Won’t be out for a while though but I heard a remake of the old republic games will be releasing soon
There really needs to be a live action show with him. Not just a cameo. Him as the main character.
Oh, and have the same writers work on it, don't hire new ones.
And then disney make him gay probably make him black or indian🥲
@@Rapscalian are you implying his race plays a factor in what makes him a good character?
@@angelo423 No. They're implying that Disney will find a way to butcher Cal if he shows up in live action
The writers from Fallen Order, not the current Disney SW writers.
I wonder how surreal it is for him when he plays the game.
Incredible that one of the most in depth characters, intricate storylines, and interesting development in Star Wars lore is coming from a video game. Absolutely love the game, atmosphere, mechanics, sound, visuals..and to top it all off..the acting is top notch. Kudos to all involved on this project.
Not only was star wars Jedi fallen order one of the best star wars games to come out, I believe it to be one of the best games to come out last generation! Honestly cannot wait for this one to come out. Will pre-order it soon.
Wow! The animation is so lifelike. He looks so real!
Man... he could make fantastic Joker.
A live action version of Cal would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cameron seems like such a cool guy; I love how obviously passionate he is about all things geeky - Shameless was great due to him (and Frank), Gotham as well - he loves TLoU, The Weekly Planet!
He’s good ppl
The way this game and its prequel have entered star wars universe and how they got a bright seat on their own in this massive saga reflects how the developing studio and the actors are talented and dedicated to their work and i think this sequel will be a master piece in the storytelling genre of games generally
this also shows that he has input and interactiveness with the story and concept of the game and story. really cool
Honestly I hope not only Respawn but also Lukasfilm knows what a great character and actor combo they have on their hands right now with Cal and Cameron Monaghan
I hope someday we can see Cameron in live action
I would genuinely love a film with Cal
Cameron is great. Voice actors need more acknowledgment for their work. I bought the PS5 in part because of Survivor and if Filoni, Favreau, and Cameron ever teamed up they could create one of the top Star Wars series/shows...and we'd have more BD1. Going to play through Fallen Order again to get ready.
Can't wait to play, and for Cal to hit the big screen!!!
This sounds amazing. I watched all the movies and shit and know my fair share of Star Wars lore. Cal is my favorite jedi. Accomplishing this isn't an easy task. Kudos to Cameron Monaghan and makers of the game.

Cameron is opposite Mark Hamill
Went from live action Joker to voicing a Jedi hero
This game will not dissapoint, Respawn just knows how to make great games and there passion for the Star Wars universe shines through. Cannot wait to sink hours into Jedi Survivor
As a kid going back to the original series, this has regenerated my love for Star Wars. I just finished Fallen Order yesterday and replaying it. Can’t wait for the new game!
Anyone else love the intense ethereal song in the background? Hope we hear more of this in the game
Loved Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, one of my all time favorite Star Wars games, Jedi Survivor looks even more incredible, Cameron Monaghan is a amazing actor, he was really good in Gotham as the Joker, perfect choice for Cal, excited big time 👏👏👏😊
Cameron is the best actor he deserves a live action movie
I only wish his character was post ROTJ. This could have given rise to new untold stories outside of the Skywalker saga. Still pumped for this game!
Wow, he's a real jedi!
He deserves to play this character in live action. Would be nice to see him with Ahsoka and Ezra
First time seeing real life Cal. Feels so weird watching him do things without me controlling him lol. I do wish to see him in future SW projects !
This guy deserves a live action go!
👆👆 Congratulations you won🎁🎁Text the name above👆on Telegram and click it open massage to claim your PRIZE''🤝🤝
I’ve always liked him since Jerome from Gotham
Cameron and Witwer are awesome as their respective characters( Cal and Starkiller). They both deserve a movie or show.
I really hope they bring this actor to live action!
I hope he gets at least a cameo in a future show or movie
I have just play the first , oh man for what im hear will be even better so finally another good game to play
I love this man.
I say that the actor playing Cal Kestis. Plays him in a show or movie based on the games!
This is the way!😔✊️
As someone who doesn't care for starwars, the first game was great and I'm excited for the sequel to be even better
I am very excited for this game for sure. Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order was really good!
i love him he’s so gorgeous and he’s so invested he needs his own show for real
The first game was such a breath of fresh air for a jaded SW fan like me. Cameron is a fantastic actor and Cal is a profoundly likeable protagonist. Cannot wait for this sequel!
I loved the first game. Can't wait for this
I love star wars Jedi fallen order I'm excited for star wars Jedi survivor in March.
Give him a cameo in a new mandolorian or boba fett series 🎉
dont think that will work
I’ve never preordered a game this long before it’s release! I can’t wait!
Most anticipated game of 2023!
Definitely up there.
There are other good contenders too, but if you are a star wars fan then definitely.
Ok that is impressive! I didn't know they modeled the character actually off the actors appearance! Probably makes it easier for the capture and motion effects.
I just hope my pc can run this, got a new one for Christmas, fallen order pushed it to its limits at maximum graphics, so hopefully it can run the sequel
Love this guy he’s also a good at explaining things
I remember seeing him in Malcolm in the middle
I'm not gay but I think that might change soon this dude has an allure that I can't describe.
Watch Gotham and Shameless! That allure trapped me too!
It’s really cool how bought in he is. He’s talking about the game as if he’s part of the creative direction, not just the starring role.
👆👆 Congratulations you won🎁🎁Text the name above👆on Telegram and click it open massage to claim your PRIZE'' 🎉🎉🎇
I started over with playing fallen order LOL. I'm just gonna take my time until this one gets delivered to my house after I've pre-ordered it
He will likely show up on Ahsoka or the new stuff with Luke etc. We will see... so exciting!
This sequel is about to be insane I can't wait for the boss fights in this 1!!!!!!
it's awesome to get somebody like Cameron Monaghan, who has quickly shows how good of an actor he is, that is passionate about the roles he's in. then hear him talking about it as well? Cal Kestis was in good hands from day 1.
