Hot off of the success of his back-to-back roles in "The Mandalorian" and "The Last of Us," Pedro Pascal is one of the biggest names in television at the moment. Since two of his most recent silver screen projects, "Wonder Woman 1984" and "The Bubble," were poorly received by critics and audiences alike, this could be the perfect time for the actor to salvage his big screen value.
Furthermore, with Pascal fever in the highest of swings and Twitter calling him "daddy" every third meme, the actor is on the verge of a pop cultural bubble that would be a waste not to capitalize on. Though little is known about "Weapons" at this time, it could easily be the project to help make Pascal an even bigger draw.
Described as something of a vignette in the style of Paul Thomas Anderson's sprawling drama, "Magnolia," we can probably expect a few laughs to help the horror go down and maybe even another totally bananas twist that will have audiences talking for weeks, just like "Barbarian" did.
