Kantemir Balagov is already set to direct the pilot, but would certainly be nice to see her do another episode(s).
Pedro Pascal is a great casting choice for Joel. I am liking everything so far about this show.
Edit-There were Mahershala Ali rumors? That also would have been absolutely awesome casting.

I mean W Earl Brown is right there, and no reason he can't play Bill.
While I don't dislike the casting for Joel, I do feel like both Ellie and Joel's character would have greatly benefited from going the GoT route and largely getting mostly unknown actors or character actors to fill the roles.
...Not simply poaching the former GoT actors that are conveniently on directories because of HBO connections.
Has me wondering who will play Tommy, I assume they'll cast some who shares the same race as Pedro. Tommy always seemed the most easy to do 1 to 1 given he looks pretty similar to his actor, has an very important role in the story, but also doesn't have too much screen time.
Yeah exactly.
It extends to voice overs where Wil Arnett does everything now. It's kind of like "why not let someone else get this life changing gig rather than just letting Wil get another pool?"
Disappointed about the Mahershala fakeout, but Pedro is an inspired choice too. I hope this doesn't mean he's moving away from being Mando just yet tho.
WHAT IS HAPPENING, what a roller coaster...
This could be good? But the new Wonder Woman had ruined my love for him a bit lol... I do want to see him with a beard tho... hmmmm

Actually the helmet always on Mando is a good thing, it makes it more convenient for Pascal when he's doing other things and it shows off his acting chops (when he's there, but props to his standins too). He conveys a lot of emotion even with his helmet on. It's like how Karl Urban always helmet Dredd is a billion times better than Stallone no helmet Dredd.
Then awesome! I love this casting job, can't wait for the first trailer.
how much is actually Pedro when he actually has his helmet on?...I mean do they really need him for those scenes?...they should just have him dub his voice from a studio...
We know nothing about the pilot or how the show is going to be structured.
Thank you ! Yes, that's what I was talking about. I didn't know this movie existed. I might gonna watch it
If I remember correctly, the only thing we know is that Neil will introduce a new part of the story that is not part of the original plot of the first game. Who knows what it is
Was just a high paying gig he did, all his other good work is still out there
Gina Carano fired and Pedro Pascal picks up a sweet new gig in the same day.
This is the way.
This is the way.
I think Pascal did about as well as he or anyone could have with that awful script. I wouldn't hold WW2 against him.
Did not see this coming but Pedro is captivating in everything he's in. My interest is definitely peaked.
She was great in Timeless, I would lover to see her in this.I wonder if Tess' actress, Annie Wersching, would get a shot at her role again.
Y'all do realize what I wrote is more about his look and WW84 not this topic. I had a better joke later but I did it on twitter instead
