Pedro Pascal is Wario,” Black joked, hoping his wish comes true.

Pascal, who currently stars in season 3 of The Mandalorian as Din Djarin, was also last seen in a video game adaptation – The Last of Us. In it, he played grizzled survivor Joel Miller , teaming up with a teenage Ellie (Bella Ramsey) on a cross-country trip through a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The HBO series has been well received by fans and critics and is now gearing up for a second season. Interestingly, in February Pascal also played Mario in a parody skit for Saturday Night Live.
