Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is the intense story of a hitman Latif (played by Mahershala Ali) struggling after the death of his wife with caring for his family, and wrestling with his faith. As part of IGN Fall Fan Fest 2026, John Cho, who plays a somewhat unhinged pastor, and Adia, who plays Latif's daughter, sat down with IGN to discuss how they prepared for filming such emotionally demanding roles.
John Cho's Christian pastor is a complicated antagonist with good intentions but extremist methods, and his character is particularly notable for his combination of cowboy fashion and gold grills. Cho explained how the character's unique look came about.
"It was definitely a collaborative process. I didn't know what he was gonna look like. This is pretty unique in the work that I've done on film where very little was obvious to me on the page," he says. "I didn't know what he looked like or sounded like. Should he have an accent? Should he not? All of those things were undecided for me, and we just came in and started working.
"Deirdra [Elizabeth Govan], our costume designer, started suggesting things, and I didn't know. I know she thinks that I was giving her side-eye, but I was really unsure."
The character's look eventually came together through key elements like cowboy boots and a hat, resulting in a portrayal that's very different from what fans of Cho might be used to.
