Pedro Pascal's first role for the unaired NBC Wonder Woman pilot resurfaces online

 

It's hard to believe that there was a time when Wonder Woman stood a chance of getting a brand new TV Series airing on NBC with Adrianne Palicki as the Amazon Warrior Princess, but it's even harder to believe that Maxwell Lord actor and "Wonder Woman 1984" star Pedro Pascal was actually a character in that unaired pilot... And the footage has resurfaced online courtesy of Reddit and posted on Comic Book Movie!

OTHER: TIL that Pedro Pascal was cast in an unaired Wonder Woman (2011) tv show produced by WBTV and DC entertainment for NBC. from r/DC_Cinematic

Pascal of course would go on to star in other bigger roles, including as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones and Din Djardin aka Mando in The Mandalorian! How things come full circle!

ICYMI: Ruby Rose exits Batwoman after one season; Season 2 will recast the role

In what is certainly very surprising news following the premature conclusion of the show's very first season, Batwoman star and lead Ruby Rose has announced that she is stepping away from the cape and cowl and exiting the show - giving a statement as reported and shared by Deadline Hollywood when the story broke:

 "I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” Rose said in a statement “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.”

“I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created,” she said. “Thank you Peter Roth and Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”

While no official reason has been stated for her departure, it is both shocking and sad for Batwoman fans who have seen the series since Rose was introduced as the character in the Arrrowverse 2018-2019 crossover "Elseworlds" - becoming a prominent player and a best friend to Melissa Benoist's character of Supergirl. DC on the CW series. Berlanti Productions and WBTV have expressed gratitude for Rose's portrayal, and will look to recast the role with another LGBTQ actress just as the show enters production for its second season.
