Narcos Star Pedro Pascal Lands Key Role in Wonder Woman Sequel
Director Patty Jenkins is bringing on Pedro Pascal for a key role in her Wonder Woman sequel starring Gal Gadot.
Being a huge Game of Thrones fan, I was sad when Pedro’s character, Oberyn Matell, was killed, and thrilled to see him back on my small screen in various roles, on shows like The Mentalist and Graceland, and eventually on Narcos. Now we get to see the star on the big screen, alongside Gal Gadot.
The Narcos star is on board for the follow-up to 2017’s hit, joining Kristen Wiig, who was tapped for the villain role of Cheetah. The film would mark the second time Pascal and Jenkins have worked together, having previously teamed up on the TV movie Exposed.
Variety first reported that Jenkins would be returning to write, direct, and produce the pic. Following the news that the studio has slated the movie for Nov. 1, 2019, finding this pivotal role became a top priority.
Plot details are still being kept under wraps, as is the character Pascal will be playing.
Wonder Woman has been a standout in DC’s cinematic universe, grossing $821 million worldwide, including $412 domestically.
