Affected by the epidemic, many Hollywood blockbusters have been postponed to next year's release, and the current North American schedule of the DC movie "Wonder Woman 1984" is still December 25.
But all this is not easy to say, because even the film's director, Patti Jenkins, recently said publicly that she was not sure if it would eventually be released as scheduled.
This movie, too, looks hanging this year.
"Wonder Woman 1984", in addition to gayle Gadot's continued role of "Wonder Woman" is beautiful and sassy, the two new villains in the film: Leopard Woman and Max also attract attention.
In particular, Max, a businessman-like actor, was highly praised by director Patty Jenkins for his role as a big breakthrough in his career.
It is worth mentioning that Lindy Heming, the costume designer of "Wonder Woman 1984", revealed that the styling in Max's film has gained a lot of inspiration from a big figure in the United States. Lindy called Max in the film "a man who looks rich but doesn't have high taste", and everyone thinks, is there something like a god?
In fact, the 45-year-old Pedro Pascal, he has been famous enough over the years.
The Red Viper in Game of Thrones, Perro, the leader of the European mercenaries in The Great Wall, Panna in Narco...
Especially last year, he became popular because of the first season of the Star Wars spin-off drama "The Mandalorian", playing the faceless bounty hunter Mando, and he circled countless fans with Yoda Baby.
The first season of "The Mandalorian" was a great success, receiving 15 Emmy nominations, including Best Series, and so far, the show has been scored by nearly 50,000 people on Douban, giving a high score of 9.2.
On October 30, the much-anticipated second season of "The Mandalorian" will begin airing, and Pedro Pascal will return without showing his face.
A lot of people have liked this actor more and more over the years, but you may not know him well enough.
Recently, he was interviewed by foreign media about his original opportunity to star in "The Mandalorian", and his little-known childhood, and to become a star now, perhaps it has long been a fate arrangement in the dark.
Pedro was born in Chile, and because of the war, he fled with his parents to San Antonio, USA. At that time, his parents would take him and his sister to the movies whenever they had time, which became a family ritual at that time, and they wanted to learn as much about American pop culture as possible in this way.
It was then that Pedro, about 4 years old, saw the movie "Superman" starring Christopher Reeve for the first time, and he went to the bathroom alone, but accidentally got lost and walked to another theater, curled up in an open seat and fell asleep. He woke up to find the theater empty and his parents standing by his side.
But at that time, he did not know that in the future, he would be inextricably linked to drama.
In episode 8 of the first season of The Mandalorian, Pedro's bounty hunter had to wear a helmet, cover his face, and in some episodes cover his entire body, and in the first season, he didn't show his true face until the last episode, which was only about 20 seconds.
As a result, the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association (HFPA), the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards, realized that this was a new performance and established new rules for judging, saying that actors who perform only by voice are not eligible to compete for the actor category.
That is to say, as long as the actor himself is covered in the face, he cannot participate in the award, which means that Pedro cannot be nominated for the Actor Award of the Golden Globe Award for "The Mandalorian" with the performance of "The Mandalorian" that almost covers his face the whole time.
However, in the first season of "The Mandalorian", Pedro was busy rehearsing the Broadway drama "King Lear", and there were substitutes for him in the middle of some scenes.
Previously, Jon Feiru, the director and screenwriter of "The Mandalorian", was very optimistic about Pedro's role in Mando, but it was not easy to convince an actor to cover his face and star the whole time.
So for the first meeting, Jon Feiru carefully designed it, and he took Pedro to the conference room, which was full of storyboards from the first season, "and when he walked in, it must have felt a little surreal." ”
At that time, Pedro's schedule was tight, on the one hand, he was rehearsing "King Lear", on the other hand, he had to go to London to shoot "Wonder Woman 1984", so the final plan was to find two other people to be his stand-ins to help Pedro shoot some of the "Mandalorian" scenes, and he dubbed in the post.
In this regard, Pedro said that the success of the first season of "The Mandalorian" was the effort of the team.
However, even if Pedro did not play Mando himself the whole time, he never left the thinking about this role, what kind of state such a lone bounty hunter would be in.
"It's not hard for me to experience and pass on the complexities beneath all the armor."
The life without a sense of belonging after he fled to his hometown of Chile as a child and fled to the United States once made him feel out of place.
He was fascinated by movies and was impressed by the child stars in the movies of that time, he remembered seeing Henry Thomas in ET, Christian Bell in "Empire of the Sun", and was eager to live in a foreign land as well.

After finishing fifth grade, Pedro moved to California with his parents, but he suffered a lot of bullying at that time. In high school, he went to an up-and-coming performing arts high school in the area, which further obsessed him with theater, and in his senior year, a friend of his mother gave him a ticket to a Broadway theater that completely changed him.
He attended the prestigious New York University's Tisch School of the Arts to study acting and later got some opportunities, but the sudden death of his mother disrupted his plans, at which point he lost his agent and his career came to an almost complete standstill.

In a tribute to his mother, Pedro changed his actor's surname from his father's Balmaceda to his mother's Pascal (Pascal), and he also tried to change his name to Alexander in order to pay homage to the film master Ingmar Bergman's film Fanny and Alexander, one of the films that influenced his youth.
It was an extremely difficult time for Pedro, with occasional guest appearances in the episode Law & Order.
But he met actor Oscar Isaac, and because they were also Latinos, they quickly became good friends.
At that time, they had not yet become famous, and many years later Oscar Isaac became the Golden Globe Award. (Masterpieces: Drunken Folk Song, Year of the Most Violent, Mechanic, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, X-Men: Apocalypse, Black Utopia)
Pedro, who became a star many years later, recalls his past, saying he had no money for a long time.
When I was 18 years old, I went to New York to study, "At that time, like many people, I worked in restaurants and cafes, I was often fired, I didn't know how to pay the rent, and I had to live on the help of friends and family." He also said that after becoming famous, he has been working hard to live in recent years, and although he has earned money, he has no time to spend it.
In addition to Oscar Isaac, Pedro met a good friend, actress Sarah Paulsen, and because of her audition for Game of Thrones.
As many people may not expect, it was an audition to take a selfie with an iPhone, and David Benioff, one of the producers of Game of Thrones, later recalled, "The video was shot vertically, and the whole shoot seemed very amateurish." However, Pedro performed well and just right. ”
It was also because of the success of this audition that Pedro became the red viper in "Game of Thrones".
With the success of the series, he, along with many of the actors in the show, became a well-known star and gained more opportunities, including later in China, starring in the film "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou with Matt Damon and others.
It's unclear whether Wonder Woman 1984 will be released as scheduled at the end of the year, but the start of the second season of "The Mandalorian" on October 30 will not change.
Pedro Pascal is ready, put on his helmet again to become Mando, and meet everyone.
