Matt Damon has the MVP award unceremoniously stolen from him by Game of Thrones' Pedro Pascal, who plays glorified sidekick Pero Tovar.

Pero is basically the movie's wise-cracking know-it-all, and Pascal tackles the role with great relish, making the best of his daft one-liners and enjoying some fun chemistry with Damon.

While he may not be the movie's selling point from a marketing perspective, he sure brings more personality to the movie than anyone else, and further proves he's just waiting to become a huge star.
