The cast of Wonder Woman 2 has begun to take shape with Narcos star Perdo Pascal joining the DC Films sequel.

According to Variety, Pascal has been brought in for a “key role” with details on both his characters and the film kept under wraps.

This casting with see Pascal and Patty Jenkins working together for the second time having previously teamed up for the TV movie Exposed.

Jenkins returning was majorly important for this sequel and the DCU as a whole and now she’ll have more control on this film with directing, writing and more important to fans producing the pic.

The 42-year-old Chilean star gained Hollywood traction after winning praise of his scene-stealing performances as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones and the Netflix drama Narcos.

Following these performances, Pascal has moved into movies with roles in last summer’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle and we’ll see him next this summer opposite Denzel Washington in The Equalizer sequel. Additionally, we’ll see him again in the Autumn for Barry Jenkin’s drama If Beale Street Could Talk.

He is currently filming Netflix film Triple Frontier alongside Oscar Isaac, Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund.

Pascal tweeted his excitement saying he’s “joining legends" with the legend that is Jenkins replying.

If Pedro Pascal is Vandal Savage in WW2, that would be the perfect set-up for him in Legion Of Doom. I can see him playing a background figure (like Ares in the first movie) running the Soviet operations. Cheetah will be an anti-hero.

pedro pascal is from chile and he’s a person of color in a key role in a big industry and movie in hollywood. this is just as important. just because he’s not a female doesn’t mean it’s not important. stop caring ONLY about female poc. ALL poc representation is important.
