A new rumor details that The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal is on the short list to play Moon Knight in the upcoming Disney Plus series.
The rumor comes from Mikey Sutton who details that “according to several inside sources I spoke to, the Mandalorian himself — Pedro Pascal — is on the list of actors being considered to play Moon Knight for the MCU.”
Sutton does add that his sources “stress that no talks or any negotiations have begun yet but Pascal clicks the right buttons for the role.”
One of those buttons is the fact that “he has no issues hiding his face for long stretches of screen time.”
Sutton also details that if Marvel Studios does decide to choose Pascal “there will not be any scheduling conflicts with the hugely successful Mandalorian.”
Sutton does warn that Pascal has not been selected to play Moon Knight yet.
“Before anybody jumps the gun, he is on the list but hasn’t been selected yet.”
A previous rumor indicated Shia LeBouf, Rami Malek, Garrett Hedlund, Justin Theroux, and Michael Ealy were also on Marvel’s short list to play Marc Spector.
This rumor regarding Pedro Pascal comes amid a flurry of Moon Knight rumors.
