“I go out to start November 1,” Mason shared with The Direct. “I’m very, very excited. That character means the world to me.

“I can’t say too much, but the second one has a very special place in my heart, and is personally my favorite of the trilogy,” he added. “And I really love what we’re doing with it. So yeah.”
In another interview, Mason shared that he’s really looking forward to “my fire swords,” he told THR. “I really love my fire sword. I think it’s really cool (Laughs).”
The actor also teased the upcoming fight sequences in a third recent interview.
“I mean, I can’t give away any scenes specifically. I can just say that I’ve talked to the director… and all of the flight sequences and action things we’re doing is, um, they’re really cool,” he told Who Let Us Out. “I mean, kind of like what we did with the first movie, and this one especially, we’re just elevating everything we can and making it bigger and cooler and just giving everything more depth. So, I’m really excited for people to see what we do with this one because the second one has a very special place in my heart. So, I’m really excited to just get into it and for people to see it.”
