Early preparation and commitment

Pascal met with director Tony Gilroy in late July 2025 before any contract was signed. He immediately contacted cellists Timothy Loo and Charlie Tyler to start training. Filming eventually took place in Los Angeles and Vienna at the end of October.

Actor describes intense experience

The star called the process a highly intense lip sync that left him back-footed during the shoot. He stated it was the hardest thing he has ever done in his career. Pascal told Variety that he misses the character more than anything else he has played.
