so last night many of us geeked out about Pedro Pascal being cast in Wonder
Woman too but now that it's the morning after and our fan goggles have faded
away it's time to get real both about who he's likely playing and if it really
is a good idea to cast him in the sequel so first his role is indeed top-secret
but nevertheless I think I figured out who he's playing now when the news first
broke many of you had excellent guesses on Twitter my favorite guesses of yours
being Hades and Vandal Savage I was like oh I'd be happy with either one of those
beyond happy thrilled then I thought well what are some other good guesses he
could be playing Hermes Orion of the new gods a human agent working with Diana in
the 1980s it could be that simple maybe even the god
Kirk Earth's Curt Agha boy that's gonna be hard to say in the movie I maybe they
can give him a nickname but that's the god who's responsible for turning dr.
Barbara and Minerva into cheetah but as I looked for options I stumbled across
the obvious one and that is Deimos who is Deimos well Deimos is the son of
Aphrodite and Ares Oh apparently revenge is a dish best served during the Cold
War and on that note in the comics Deimos tried to incite a war between the
United States and the Soviet Union which moon it's just what Wonder Woman 2 is
about and I do like the idea of Diana going up against another child of the
gods plus their that's a good way to get around Ares haven't killed all the
originals in the first film right it works it works actually really well and
yes you're seeing a picture correctly Deimos sometimes does have snakes for
hair rockin the Medusa style talk about 80s hair right plus plus Deimos and his
brother Phobos hang out in the underworld
sometimes where I think we all suspect Steve Trevor is currently hanging out
well it's it's back in time but that's where we think he ends up of course
after the first film and I've heard from several sources that Steve isn't
returning for the sequel so maybe another God wants to throw a monkey
wrench in the situation as they do love to do that and maybe that will give us a
love triangle for at least part of the movie I can totally see that
all right so story wise it's just looking pretty pretty solid
I don't know how Cheetahs gonna factor into all this I mean you would think
cheetah would be the main bad and Mandy I don't know maybe she is and you know
Deimos would be a behind the scenes situation although they already did that
with Ares you think Diana would be wise to that plan by now she's like go and
check the politicians fast all right so anyway I asked whether or not he's good
to cast in the film well creatively I think yes and it's
what have you pointed out I thought this was great he's pretty darn good with a
lasso himself so that would be hilarious they could have a lasso off plus I think
he seems like a very good fit with gal gadot herself you know whose two actors
and fans always do enjoy his work including on Game of Thrones which gives
him quite the pop-culture credibility stamp but let's be honest with ourselves
as good as he is so far Pedro Pascal cannot sell tickets Kingsman - I think
his biggest role to date both in terms of the project and his screen time
barely cracked the century mark stateside I'd had to rely even more
heavily on its overseas box office than the first film did they ended up though
and about the same level box-office watts
although Wonder Woman was soft overseas so maybe Pedro Pascal will help in that
department I'm being very kind assuming that he was what helped it overseas I
don't think so I think it was the you know the the franchise and the idea of
Kingsman and the original cast but maybe his agent was able to sell that in the
room although we'll talk about Pedro Pascal and patty Jenkins connection in
just a moment methinks he didn't need a hard sell and
then it's another one of you tweeted though Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig is
seeming very TV like and it does indeed seem like the sequel is lacking in star
power but then again the first Wonder Woman didn't exactly have a lot of star
power as much as we all have Chris Pine he's actually a similar situation where
for the most part his movies don't do well either and Wonder Woman too did
really well at the box office anyway go maybe it's Gul who is the draw which
I can totally see and maybe bigger names maybe we're not we're not seeing what's
really happening here and that's just like we're talking about behind the
camera in front of the camera they can't get any bigger names to join the DC EU
right now even for its crown jewel they're like yeah I'll be in Wonder
Woman too but then you might force me to be in another DCEO movie so that could
be very much the situation this might be the best that they can get although with
Wonder Woman too suspiciously everyone is a friend of patty Jenkins who's
joining the sequel Pedro Pascal they've worked together their pals Kristen Wiig
was her idea which she pushed very hard and many of us have problems with we
just don't see it patty and then also she infamously in my opinion got rid of
you know I think this is an infamous move got rid of Allan Heinberg and
replaced him with a writer friend of hers what her brother's is placing an
awful lot of faith that a woman who didn't make the first movie all by
herself she even admitted she would never have cast gonca dog I don't know
why she would admit that that seems ridiculous to me but thank goodness she
was in charge of casting Wonder Woman I hope we won't be saying I wish that
someone else had cast the rest of these roles we'll have to see if that faith is
well-placed although you know what happens when you take on full
responsibility for a project Robert Downey jr. learned that the hard way and
I think Ryan Reynolds you know I Deadpool to while I think it looks good
is projected to open about 30 million less right now than the first Deadpool
so oh alright so what do you think of the Patriot Pascal casting and how
Wonder Woman 2 is coming together do you think he's Deimos I think that's a
really solid guess all right write your thoughts down below and of course as
always you can check out some more videos right now
