It has just been announced that Pedro Pascal will star Weapons, the new horror film from the director of 'Barbarian'. Not only that. He has also won the MTV Award for hero of the year, which confirms that our dear Pedro is more on a roll than ever. His interventions in The Mandalorian and especially The Last of Us They have taken him to where he is now, but before that, the Chilean actor built a rich resume from which we are now going to rescue some titles. If you want to enjoy it in more stories, take note.
It could be said that something woke up in us after seeing him like Oberyn Martell, the cocky fellow from Dorne who is killed rather grotesquely by Ser Gregor in season 4 of Game of Thrones. But, as we pointed out, Pascal has been on the screen for a long time doing a great job. And for sample, 5 titles.
Narcos
The great series, which began with the persecution plot of Pablo Escobar, also gave us 30 episodes (its first two seasons) with Pedro Pascal as Javier Peña, one of its protagonists and DEA agents. Together with his partner Steve Murphy, he will have the important task of hunting down one of the biggest drug traffickers in the history of Colombia, leader of the Medellín cartel, and undoubtedly one of his most remembered characters.
The mentalist
The popular series starring (Simon Baker) reached 7 seasons and featured Pedro in seven of its episodes. In this case, the Chilean actor gave life to Marcus Pike, a department agent of FBI art theft who ends up getting romantically involved with Lisbon, after the first case they conclude together.
Wonder Woman 1984
We usually see Pedro in "good" roles but he has also had (quite a few) jobs as a villain. One of the most recent is the one he did in Wonder Woman 1984, where he plays the evil Maxwell Lord. Stripped of his characteristic doggie and with the blonde hair, made a good participation despite the fact that the tape itself did not finish convincing the general public.
Triple frontier
A movie in which we have Pascal, Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac between the protagonists? Well, that's exactly what you'll find in Triple frontier, a highly action-focused genre film, in which five friends, all ex-Special Forces military veterans, come together to plan an assault on one of the world's most violent cartels in a South American border area. You have it, by the way, on Netflix.
The unbearable weight of talent
We couldn't stop mentioning it here. And it is sure that you have asked yourself more than once what movie it is from the famous Pedro Pascal meme with Nicolas Cage in car that you have seen hundreds of times on the internet. The answer is The unbearable weight of talent, in which Pascal plays an eccentric billionaire who decides to pay his favorite actor (played by Nicolas Cage, playing himself) to attend his birthday party.
