The selfie of Pedro Pascal and Danny Ramirez has ignited a fresh wave of speculation about their casting in director Todd Haynes’ upcoming film, De Noche.
The project, which translates to “At Night,” is a 1930s-set gay romance that had been stalled after its original star, Joaquin Phoenix, abruptly exited just days before filming was set to begin.
The De Noche film, which explores the love story of two men who flee Los Angeles for Mexico, was thought to be dead in the water following Phoenix’s departure. However, recent reports indicate that the project is being revived, with Pedro Pascal in talks to take over the lead role.
Danny Ramirez, who was attached to star as Phoenix’s love interest, is reportedly still on board.
The selfie, shared by Ramirez, has fueled fan excitement and further cemented the rumors of their on-screen reunion. This would mark the third time the two actors have worked together, following their roles in the second season of The Last of Us and the upcoming Marvel film, Avengers: Doomsday.
The potential casting has been met with significant enthusiasm from fans online, who are eager to see the two actors’ chemistry on screen, especially in a project helmed by acclaimed director Todd Haynes, known for his work on films like Carol and May December.
