Pedro Pascal stays within the family “Star Wars”, but this time, for an indie film. Indieview can confirm that the “mandalo” actor is in call to lead “Andor” Creator Tony Gilroys function ”Behoth!“For Searchlight images. Deadline reported that the deal is not yet closed.
The action still remains under cover, but the function is believed to be centered on a cellist. Oscar Isaac was originally attached to the lead role, as Pascal now sees. Gilroy will produce the still titled film together with Sanne Wohlenberg. Main photography begins this fall in Los Angeles, with publishing plans to be announced at a later date.
Pascal has played musical chairs to juggle with its full slate of projects: the actor appeared in “The Last of Us: Season 2,” Materialists “,” Eddington, “and” Fantastic Four: First Steps “all in 2025. The Mandaloryory your DJar for “Star Wary: The Mand and Groggor and Groggor. ”
Pascal left Zach Cregger’s Buzzy horror movie “Weapon” to start in “Fantastic Four: First Steps.” Cregger recently told Entertainment every week That Pascal’s “schedule threw us into anxiety” and led to a completely “different role” being in the final function. (Pascal’s character Archer was played by Josh Brolin.)
And Pascal who takes over for Isaac with the Gilroy movie is also nothing new: Isaac has the lead role in Guillermo del Toros “Frankenstein” as researcher Victor Frankenstein. Andrew Garfield would originally start in the lead role as a monster, but because of the Sag-Aftra strike he left the project after scheduling conflicts, much like what happened to Pascal and “Weapons.” Jacob Elordi replaced Garfield only Nine weeks before shooting.
Garfield has been rumored to have Picked in the lead role in Luca Guadagninos “After the Hunt” Instead of “Frankenstein.” (Garfield would first start in Guadagninos 2010 function “I am love” and the planned “Brideshead Revisited” series.)
Later, Garfield told us Deadline to Elordi “needed” the experience of working with del Toro more than he did. “I am very, very happy that it was him who did it and I am of course disappointed that I was not allowed to do it because I love Guillermo, I love Oscar (Isaac) and everyone he gathered, so I was disappointed,” Garfield said. “But meeting Jacob (at Marrakech International Film Festival) felt really serendipitous so I could really see and hear that he might need that experience more than me.”
