The actor Wagner Moura 48, will be honored at the Comic Con Experience (CCXP 24 ) this year. The event, which celebrates pop culture, will dedicate a special panel to the artist on December 6th, on Palco Thunder, at 7:45 pm.
Moura, who began his career in Brazilian theater, gained national recognition with iconic roles such as Captain Nascimento in “Elite Troop ” and “Carandiru “, in addition to outstanding performances in “O Father, O ” and “Tropical Paradise “. However, it was his foray into international productions that catapulted him to global stardom, as was the case with the series “Narcos “, about drug trafficker Pablo Escobar, from Netflix .
The international rise of Wagner Moura
Wagner Moura’s international journey began in 2013 with his participation in “Elysium “, next to Matt Damon . The sci-fi film opened doors for the actor, but it was his role as Pablo Escobar in the Netflix series “Narcos” that really cemented his presence in Hollywood. To play the Colombian drug trafficker, Moura faced significant challenges, including learning Spanish in three months – as he said in an interview – and undergoing a physical transformation.
Since then, the actor has been a constant presence in high-profile productions. He worked alongside Ana de Armas on multiple projects, including “Sérgio” and “Agente Oculto”. The actor was also in the Apple TV series ‘The Shining’, opposite Elizabeth Moss, and more recently in the adaptation of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, with Donald Glover, on Prime Video.
His most recent film was “Civil War”, released this year, which also stars Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny.
The honor at CCXP 2024 is a well-deserved recognition of Moura’s career. The panel should offer insights into your career, behind-the-scenes experiences and a preview of your upcoming work.
