Pedro Pascal, the man of the moment, is set to star in Drive-Away Dolls, the upcoming queer road-trip comedy written by Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke. The film follows the adventures of Jamie, a free spirit who just broke up with her girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian, who join forces to embark on a road trip to Tallahassee. Along the way, they encounter a group of bumbling criminals, and chaos ensues. While exact details of Pascal’s role are under wraps, the cast is already shaping up to be impressive, with Margaret Qually, Beanie Feldstein, Bill Camp, Matt Damon, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Colman Domingo also on board.
Pedro Pascal has been making waves recently with his acclaimed performances in HBO’s The Last of Us and Disney+’s The Mandalorian, and fans can’t wait to see him in this new venture. Social media has been buzzing with excitement since the news of his casting was announced, with many fans pointing out that Pascal has a great track record of supporting LGBTQ+ characters and narratives.
In addition to Drive-Away Dolls, Pascal will also be starring in Strange Way of Life, a queer Western directed by Pedro Almodóvar that will premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Almodóvar has described the film as his “answer to Brokeback Mountain,” which is sure to pique the interest of fans of the genre.
Drive-Away Dolls is set to premiere at one of the big festivals this autumn before its wider release on September 22, 2023. With Pedro Pascal leading the charge, this star-studded comedy is sure to be a hit with audiences.
