“I can tell you how excited I am, which is beyond!” the Game of Thrones alum said. “There isn’t anything more exciting than being in a cast like that, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joe Quinn, and our director, Matt Shakman. To be invited to a family like that is unbelievable, and we all just want to do our best and share it with the world.”
Apart from working on his upcoming film, Pedro is gearing up for the release of his other movie Gladiator II, which will reach theaters on November 22. He plays the role of Roman general Marcus Acacius alongside actor Paul Mescal.
During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Pedro joked about how strong his co-star is, since they had to work on fight scenes together.
“I call him Brick Wall Paul,” Pedro said. “He got so strong. I would rather be thrown from a building than have to fight him again. To go up against somebody that fit and that talented and that much younger … Outside of [director] Ridley [Scott] being a total genius, Paul is a big reason as to why I would put my poor body through that experience.”
