Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal, who is famous for his roles as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones and Javier Peña in the Netflix series Narcos, has been roped in by Patty Jenkins to star in the upcoming Wonder Woman sequel.

The actor will be joining the cast along with Kristen Wiig who was finalised in the role of the villain Cheetah, reported Variety. Jenkins and Pascal have earlier worked together on TV series Exposed. There is no confirmation on the character that Pascal will be playing in the movie.

2017’s Wonder Woman has been a good film for the DC universe. The film stars Israeli actress Gal Gadot in the lead role, Wonder Woman smashed a number of records at the global box office. The film also became the highest grossing film to be directed by a woman. The movie was also a massive hit with critics. Earlier this year, when the news was revealed that the Wonder Woman dream team of Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot is coming back with a sequel, DC fans were happy and took a sigh of relief.

Pascal was seen starring in Kingsmen: The Golden Circle, the actor will next be seen in the Antoine Fuqua directed sequel to The Equalizer opposite Denzel Washington. Pascal also has Annapurna and Barry Jenkins drama If Beale Street Could Talk undder his belt. Pascal is presently filming for Triple Frontier with Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund in Hawaii.

Other than Wonder Woman, DC’s other offerings in 2017 failed to make a mark at the box office as well as with the critics. With Aquaman, Shazam! and Wonder Woman 2 to release in the coming year, the future does look bright for the DC universe.
