“I’m more aware of disgruntlement around my casting than anything I’ve ever done. ‘He’s too old. He’s not right. He needs to shave,’” Pascal said
Tell me you haven't seen Pedro act with takes like those.
Meh. I like him. I just think he’s cast too often. Hollywood has this problem where they cast the same people over and over because they are “bankable”. But does the same actor really need to play three or four different superheroes?
I do agree with you. I want to see more of him and plenty of other actors, but they don't need to be in all the movies for a few years and then kicked to the curb to chase the next fad.
"I can't say why I really don't like him because people will judge me."
