Stunning European visuals

As Apollo (Richard Gutierrez)’s mission blows up into a much bigger picture, his plan to destroy the syndicate group called Tatsulok and protect the greater good will bring him to the streets of Italy. In the midst of all the action-packed drama, the series will weave in plenty of aesthetics. The ancient monuments and fashionable downtown in Rome and picturesque views in Tivoli are unmissable, so be ready to be charmed by this seductive setting. Plus, some spoken Italian on the side.

The beauty of Iloilo

Apart from the scenes filmed in Italy, Richard announced that they are leaving Cebu City for a new location, which is Iloilo. “We are very excited to be there and full support din po ang mga tao doon, pati ang local government. They are very excited to welcome us in Iloilo and we are looking forward to being there and showing the beauty of Iloilo,” shared the lead actor during the show’s recent press conference.

Bringing Pinoy action forward

With international action director Wang Yan Bin in the lead, the series will continue to showcase different fighting techniques, redefining what Pinoy action-drama series can achieve. The cast members take pride in being part of a teleserye with fight scenes that are increasingly implausible and fresh for the modern audience.

“Since day one, our objective was to elevate the action genre in the Philippines. Kasi nakita naman na, parang, nakakalimutan yata ng mga tao na kaya rin sumabay ng Pinoy sa ibang bansa pagdating sa action… Promise po namin sa inyo, itong bagong season, mas malupit pa ang action,” said Richard. The team even worked with Hollywood stuntmen for their scenes in Italy. So, buckle up for more dazzling and revolutionary action tour de force by the “Iron Heart” male and female stars.

Unpredictable narrative

With the revelation of Apollo’s true identity comes a string of plot twists that will further ignite his iron will. At the new season’s core is Apollo becoming more ruthless and determined after the discovery of his true identity, and the country’s battle against the Hyperion Virus. “’Yung pace ng story namin, mabilis. Buo ‘yung story arc namin, but at the same time, unpredictable siya sa audience,” Richard shared. And the unpredictability goes behind the cameras, as the actors themselves never know what they’re going to get in terms of their scenes and characters.

JM De Guzman joins the cast
