In this week’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo pursues the truth while discussing “Civil War” with star Wagner Moura (“Narcos,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”). The movie takes place in the near future during a second Civil War in America and follows a group of war journalists and photographers on a quest to interview the president and capture the war before the battle ends. The A24 film is written and directed by Alex Garland and also stars Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Nick Offerman, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and more.

During the interview, Moura discussed securing the role of Joel in the film after missing out on another Alex Garland project, his Hulu series, “Devs,” a role that coincidentally went to "Civil War” co-star Nick Offerman.

However, he was ultimately drawn to the role due to his love for films that balance political themes and popular filmmaking elements.

Moura also talked about Garland stepping away from directing for now, working with filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho and directing his own film, "The Last Night of the Lobster."
