So finally, the mythical Joe Pesci has agreed to join the cast of one of the most hotly anticipated films of recent times; Martin Scorsese’s mob epic The Irishman. He will join none other than the two major figureheads of the acting world, let alone the gangster genre, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

The film will be the first time Pacino and Scorsese have worked together while it will mark the first time De Niro has worked with the acclaimed director since starring in 1995’s Casino. And it will certainly be the first time these three Italian-American giants of the acting world will have worked together at once.
