Fan Casting Pedro Madrigal in Encanto

Pedro is seen in two flashbacks throughout the entire film. At the beginning of the film, Pedro and his wife are shown to have been forced to leave their home with their newborn children during an attack. When the young family and other runaway villagers arrive at a river, Pedro sacrifices himself to the Soldiers who were chasing after the escaping villagers, allowing Alma and their children to escape, but at the cost of his life. Following her husband’s death, Alma's candle transformed into a magical candle, which brought to life the village of Encanto and the sentient Casa Madrigal.
