Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is headed to theaters later this month and while the film sees the return of the fan-favorite fear-defying feline, it also is teasing the end of an era of sorts, with trailers for the upcoming film suggesting that Puss may be ready for retirement even as he heads off on what might be his biggest adventure to date. As is the nature of any film that deals with the idea of adventure and journeys, the film touches on some difficult subjects as they pertain to life and death and now, star Antonio Banderas explains why it’s important to talk to young audiences about those matters. Speaking with ComicBook.com’s Chris Killian, Banderas said that living through the pandemic has made talking about life and death and the beauty of life makes these conversations important and using a beloved, uplifting character to guide them is a great tool.
