After having given mind-blowing performances in television shows like 'Narcos' and 'Game of Thrones', Pedro Pascal has now been chosen to be the face of 'The Mandalorian' in the 'Star Wars' galaxy. 

According to Variety, earlier it was rumored that Pascal's name had been locked for the role, but it was later clarified that he was one of the many actors being considered for the role. Now it has been confirmed that the actor has been made an offer and negotiations are in progress. 

Pascal will play the lead in 'The Mandalorian' which will "follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic," series writer Jon Favreau told Deadline. He added, "The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order."
