Rumors of this news have been circulating for a few weeks now, but today it is official. Pedro Pascal is going to be the lead in the upcoming Disney+ show The Mandalorian. Does this mean he is the man behind the mask, or is he just the star of the show, meaning the person in the Mandalorian armor is the centerpiece of the series? I guess we will have to wait for official word on that soon.
Update: EW.com has confirmed that Pedro Pascal will be the guy under the mask in The Mandalorian!
Pascal is no stranger to the small screen, with star-making roles as Prince Oberyn in “Game of Thrones” and Javier Pena in “Narcos.” He has since been building a strong film resume with performances in “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” “The Equalizer 2,” and the upcoming “If Beale Street Could Talk.” He recently finished filming the Netflix action pic “Triple Frontier” as well as “Wonder Woman 1984.”
