At the current rate things are deteriorating, I reckon Pedro Pascal has about 3 months left of being a US citizen :(

90% of new movie lead roles about to open up
I'm a bit tired of seeing him in so much so suddenly, but if it's going to be anyone I'm glad it's someone as moral as Pascal.
Reminder that Pedro Pascal is related to Salvador Allande, democraticly elected communist whom the US overthrew and replaced with a fascist dictatorship.
The coup involved flying a plane into the Capitol on 9/11, 1971
Edit: 1973, and a plane flying missiles into the capitol building.
I assume you mean 1973.
By flying a plane into the capitol you mean using military planes to fire rockets at the La Moneda Palace.
LOL. I guess history doesn't have to be accurate.
Pedro stays based
Might as well just change the headline to say: "Pedro Pascal is on the right side of history" because like most others here on the federated internet he knows what's up and for him it probably started with his sister coming out.
And if you're looking to support Pedro Pascal, may I interest you in this little (scifi-western) independent film he made with Sophie Thatcher?All it takes is a little wake up call.
And now I'm thinking of the movie The Matrix again..
For anyone out of the loop:
Give a spoiler warning next time.
Oh, Prospect is great!
Remember a few months ago where there was that weird push to get people to dislike Pedro Pascal for some reason? It didn't even have a source other than "He's popular and in a lot of big stuff, so you must hate him."
The reason was his public support of his trans sister.
Oh, so douchebags hate him.
I know he got in a fight or something with that woman that was on mandalorian and the 1st deadpool over trans rights because he was close to someone trans. I didn't dive deeper into it since there was a clear ones a dirtbag and the other is chill.

He seems like a nice dude, but you never know, honestly.
I love Conan, for example, and have been watching his show and listening to his podcast for years now, but I won't delude myself into thinking I know him or what he stands for in his personal life.
Ya but Conan doesn’t stick his neck out to support marginalized people like Pascal does. I don’t know him personally, but all evidence points to Pascal being a good person.
Now, Im not making a connection here, so dont take it that I am. Im only addressing your point.
Jimmy Saville. Put his neck out for kids for decades. Raised multiple millions over 40 years for various childrens charities and hospitals. Had tv shows, that made the wishes of children come true. Like meeting their heroes, or having once in a lifetime adventures.
The whole time, he was raping kids. 40 fucking years of being a nation hero, and as soon as he died, it all came out. Generations of people LOVED that man. And he was one of the most prolific child molesters to ever have lived.
mohab is right. You dont know any of these people. Grace Kelly once said “Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality.”. Do we really think thats changed? I mean, they all said nothing while Harvey was raping countless women. Why? Because their careers were more important. Even going so far as to praise the man in public.
You can like what hollywood people say, but you should never forget that they are always saying things to be popular. Because being popular is what gets you money in hollywood.
The Saville stuff was well known in the industry I think.
See https://youtu.be/v4OzI9GYag0
(Apologies for the Piers)
It was. Theres many examples of people eluding to things, but not actually outright saying them. The reason being that the liable laws in the UK are that you need to prove what you are saying is true, rather than the American way of doing it which is that they need to prove you are lying.
And while it was an open secret, they all still went on his show, took his requests, and perpetuated the lie that was Jimmy Saville. And thats the real issue. Those who seek fame and fortune have a miserable track record of doing the right thing. They only joined the metoo thing because it was advantageous to their careers. Same with this Kimmel thing. If social media wasnt all abuzz with it, they would be keeping their mouths shout.
I will never, ever, understand why people look to celebrities to get their morality. You'd think the fact that Corey Feldman still cant name the people who raped him and Haim would say it all. Harvey was only the tip of the iceberg.

Pretty sure no one said "hate him", just that he was turning up in everything. If you want to moan about the internet repeating things to a nauseating degree, you have my support. But the line for those things is LONG. And Pedro aint even at the front of the queue. "Nice" is.
I was feeling a bit supersaturated with Pedro Pascal recently, just because Last of Us season 2 had just aired and he was in both the new Fantastic Four movie and Eddington both in theaters at the same time, but I've never had a problem with the guy and I definitely love how outspoken he is about societal injustices.
what the fluff is up with the picture of kimmel they chose in the thumbnail??
He's out of a job so he needs to look slobby and disheveled!! News articles have always gotta choose a picture that fits the way they want to portray the person's response to the situation, even if it's actually from years ago. It's one of my favorite things to see because it's just so funny. 
Dude is aware of what it's like living in dictatorship in his ancestral country of Chile.
Hang on, Brazil rebuffed Trump's strong arming to go easy on Bolsonaro. And Pedro having the big balls to stand up to Trump. There seems to be pattern of two countries that suffered under a dictatorship. Who again supported the dictatorship in these countries before?

the only way to hurt disney is people cancelling thier disney+, espn, hulu plus subscription. it will be hard for marvel and SW fans to cancel it, since thier so addicted to the franchises. there is a reason why disney is shoveling so much MARVEL garbage to the streams, its keeping ti afloat.
Well it's not the only way, Disney was a company much before streaming services. The streaming part is low hanging fruit though.
it will be hard for marvel and SW fans to cancel it
...You must not have seen to much of that stuff of late... Its not gonna be the Sophies choice you think it is.
yea i said those franchise wasnt good, but i feel like they have neough of "nufans to sustain them"
They dont. No one is watching that shit, other than diehards. Its all slop as far as the eye can see. Even Andor, which has universal praise, has almost no one watching it.
nufans are pratically the diehard ones.
"They are" doesn't have an "i".
To conjoin those two words, you delete the "a" from "are", replace it with an apostrophe, and push them up together, getting: "they're"
They are

Maybe Disney didn't expect the subscription backlash and it's trying to reduce losses by asking it's spokespeople to give them a reason to "cave"
Maybe it's just Pascal being a good dude. Hard to know sadly, hope it's the 🪜.
He's spoken out on sensitive issues before I have no reason to doubt him here.
Alright, then I'm glad. Good for him saying what needs to be said. Dont follow celebrities. Probably to a fault.
Thank you, Batman

If you zoom in on that emoji, you can see in the background where The Undertaker is throwing Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeting 16 feet through an announcer's table.
Is this guy ever anything but awesome?
I don't want to see him in all the things, but I'm damn not complaining about how much he's in.
He's already a millionaire and there are other studios....
You can get blocklisted in Hollywood very easily just by pissing off one studio. These tv executives definitely talk to each other.
