“I think they’re always warriors. That’s exactly what they are, whether they’re a Jarhead or the daughter of the Omaticaya clan chief. outgrown when you have kids; having kids is the biggest responsibility you can have. And you’re protecting those kids, because not only are you protecting them from getting hurt, but they’re going to want to emulate their parents,” comments Worthington. “I think that’s the baggage they’re carrying, and that’s why they run. I think Jake chooses to be a pacifist, which goes against every instinct that’s in them.”

“And when do you push and when do you pull? I feel that kind of relatable parent-child struggle, of loving them so much but sometimes realizing you’re loving them so hard that you’re holding back too much. And you have to let go. And when your son tells you ‘let me go’, what do you do? That for me was distressing”, completes Saldaña.
