Pedro Pascal's IMDB is making us tired just looking at it. Along with playing Joel Miller in the upcoming The Last Of Us Season 2, the in-demand actor and veritable Internet daddy has a head-spinning number of projects in the pipeline, from the Ethan Coen comedy Drive-Away Dolls to Ridley Scott's Gladiator sequel to Marvel's recently-announced Fantastic Four reboot, in which Pascal was cast as Reed Richards. Given the sheer amount of that output, eventually something had to give, and it sadly looks like the thing to go…

And to be honest, I’m intrigued with who’s lined up to direct this next legacy-quel.According to a new report from Deadline, the studio is talking with All Quiet On The Western Front director…
