***Possible Wonder Woman 1984 spoilers below***
An interesting rumor regarding Pedro Pascal’s part in Wonder Woman 1984 only makes us need more.
Listen, friends, Pedro Pascal could spend Wonder Woman standing in the corner and reading the dictionary out loud and I would still be happy about it, but chances are we’re going to see him do a whole lot more.
CBR reports on a rumor from a source who’s proven reliable with DCEU information in the past: Pascal could be playing “a God in disguise.” This wouldn’t be new, since we saw that scheme play out with David Thewlis’ Ares in the first movie, but I’d like to imagine that the filmmakers wouldn’t go the same route and have Pascal be another evil divine relative reveal.
Would they? The same source also insinuates that Pascal could be playing a villain. (He just played a hidden villain in Kingsman: The Golden Circle—so unless Pascal has been typecast across the board, I’m going to maintain skepticism about villainy for now.)
Fans on social media quickly jumped to the assumption that Pascal could be playing Hades, while some suggested he could be DC’s Doctor Fate, to help introduce a larger roster of heroes in the DC Extended Universe.
Considering that the insider claims that Steve Trevor is the real Steve Trevor and is not, in fact, a God in disguise as Steve Trevor, I can see why fans assumed Pascal might be playing Diana’s uncle Hades. Fighting—or persuading—the God of the Underworld to restore Steve in some capacity could be compelling. The powerful superhero sorcerer Doctor Fate is an interesting guess as well and would represent a direct counterpoint to Marvel’s embarkation into the mystic with Doctor Strange.
Nope. That’s the real Steve Trevor. https://t.co/PGXeVpSeJq

It’s very early, so all rumors have to be taken with many grains of salt, but we’re just glad Pedro Pascal is on board. Pascal is a talented actor (Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Narcos, Game of Thrones) who has specialized in playing characters of ambiguous morality or straight-up baddies. Onscreen he’s winking, sly, and imminently watchable, and we can’t wait to see where he’s going in Wonder Woman 1984.
Who do you think Pascal could be playing?

According to several reports, The Walking Dead season 9 may be the final curtain call for Andrew Lincoln‘s Rick Grimes. But if Rick is really on his way out, then he may be seeing his oldest friend one last time. Jon Bernthal is reprising his role as Shane Walsh for the first time in nearly seven years.
Via Deadline, the news of Bernthal’s return to The Walking Dead came after he was spotted near the set earlier this month. At the end of season 2, Shane was killed, and then subsequently killed again when he turned into a zombie. So, we can safely rule out a return in the flesh. But The Walking Dead has previously used flashbacks to bring back dead characters. We could potentially see some of Rick and Shane’s pre-apocalyptic days before they were literally at each others’ throats.
However, Rick isn’t exactly the picture of mental health and he does have a history of hallucinations while wrestling with his grief. As you can see in the GIF above, Bernthal briefly reprised his role in the third season as a vision that made Rick question his sanity. We suspect Bernthal’s latest stint on the show will be more substantial if he’s filming for multiple days.
Because Bernthal is starring in Marvel and Netflix’s The Punisher, he’s only allowed to appear in three episodes of another series under standard TV contract rules. However, Deadline is theorizing that Bernthal may be a surprise guest at the annual Walking Dead panel during San Diego Comic-Con next month.
Are you excited to see Bernthal back on The Walking Dead? Let us know in the comment section below!
