Game Of Thrones’ Pedro Pascal may play Pontius Pilate in the Ben-Hur remake
Pedro Pascal, known to many as bisexual badass Oberyn Martell from HBO’s Game Of Thrones, has had a bit of a rough year. When viewers last left his Game Of Thrones character, the remains of his head were splattered across a hot stretch of pavement following a staggering defeat in battle at the hands of Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane. In addition to haunting the nightmares of Game Of Thrones fans, that image must have made an impression on the producers behind the upcoming Ben-Hur remake, as Deadline reports that Pascal is now in talks to play Pontius Pilate, one of the Bible’s least-loved bureaucrats.
