TV News | Dec 12th, 2018
We’ve know for a little bit that Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, Narcos) was going to be in The Mandalorian, but now we know HE’s the actual The Mandalorian. Disney’s new streaming platform has also announced other cast members and it’s quite an eclectic batch of people that’s for sure. Disney certainly making me get my credit card out to pay for this service when it launches sometime next year. Not only is the cast impressive (Nick Nolte, Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, and Werner Herzog???) so are the directors as well (Jon Favreau, Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok)).
