With upcoming projects for HBO and Marvel, the extent of Pedro Pascal's involvement in The Mandalorian and Grogu flick remains uncertain for fans.
Considering that he was only the voice-over for the Din Djarin for most of The Mandalorian's run, here's what we know about his potential physical involvement in the 2026 MandoVerse flick.
Pedro Pascal's Physical Involvement in The Mandalorian & Grogu More Likely
Pedro Pascal previously confirmed that he only voiced Din Djarin aka The Mandalorian in the entire three seasons of the show, except for his helmetless scenes in seasons 1 and 2.
Although he sported the suit "a significant amount" of times, the majority of Din's screentime wasn't Pascal himself.
This is because, at the time, Pascal was also filming for HBO's acclaimed Naughty Dog adaptation of The Last of Us as Joel Miller, which likely strained his filming time for his Star Wars role.
With the HBO series approaching its second season along with Pascal showing up for Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps, this set fans' expectations that the 49-year-old award-winning actor might not be able to juggle his time with Star Wars again.
However, a D23 article from Walt Disney confirmed that Pedro Pascal is heavily involved as one of the two main stars in The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Additionally, The Hollywood Reporter shared that it would seem Pascal will be making more time this year to film for the Mando's flick in advance, given that it is slated for a May 22, 2026 release.
It was also reported that "time and cast-sensitive scenes" were already being filmed in advance (ahead of principal photography), likely so the actors' schedules would not overlap over time.
With Pedro Pascal gracing the MCU as Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic on July 25, 2025, and reprising his role as Joel in The Last of Us season 2 sometime in the same year, filming his Mando scenes would be the best way to ensure he gets more than a voice-over credit for Din.
