Pedro Pascal in Negotiations to Star in The Mandolorian

The Hollywood Reporter, EW, Variety, and multiple other outlets are reporting that Pedro Pascal is negotiating with Disney for the starring role in The Mandolorian. This has been rumored for some time, but while not yet official, it seems to be nearing reality.

You may know Pedro Pascal from his short but memorably awesome role in Game of Thrones as Oberyn "Red Viper" Martell, the man who agreed to be Tyrion Lannister's champion (after an emotional speech) and then fought The Mountain in an arena which ended in a rather shockingly gruesome death, even by GoT standards. He also co-starred in three seasons of the Netfilx drama Narcos, in which he plays a DEA agent going after Pablo Escobar. I highly recommend this show. Season 4 will begin later this week, and will star Diego "Cassian Andor" Luna as the lead bad guy. Among other projects, Pascal will also have a key role in Wonder Woman 1984, set for 2020.

This is good news, as I have enjoyed his work so far, and I fully expect him to play a very compelling character in The Mandalorian.
