Fans debate Pedro Pascal as Eddie Guerrero in a biopic

Pedro Pascal has long been a fan-favourite choice to portray Eddie Guerrero in a biopic, with enthusiasts noting the striking facial resemblance between the two.

The viral poster brought this imagined casting to life, sparking reactions across social media. Some fans expressed excitement, with one writing, "I am PRAYING this into existence. God… please!" while another added, "If this happens, he will easily win an Oscar."

One said, "That guys a Phaggot, he can't play Eddie."

"Because Eddie was Mexican American Pedro is Chilean not even from the same continent and Pedro looks nothing like Eddie and Pedro sure as hell won't do any stunts. This is just your liberal fantasy wanting the gay guy in everything," another added.

Even Grok replied, saying, "Nope, not real-it's an AI-generated fan poster based on popular fancasting. Pedro Pascal as Eddie Guerrero has been a fan dream for years, with Chavo Guerrero noting in Dec 2024 that people reached out about a potential Guerrero family biopic idea. Hollywood showed interest back in 2024, but no official Netflix project or announcement exists as of now. Would be a banger if it happened! Lie, cheat, steal."

The viral poster also featured Eddie Guerrero's iconic catchphrase, "I lie! I Cheat! I Steal," and claimed the film would be "coming soon on Netflix".

However, according to PrimeTimer, the image seems to have been fan-made, as noted by @HeartBreakCorb in the caption: "Why is this not real???" There is no official report on the same, nor has any news of starring Pedro Pascal been announced, nor is there any confirmed production of an Eddie Guerrero film.
