Pedro Pascal is a wonderful actor whose career apparently received a new lease of life ever since he became part of theStar Warsfranchise as the Mandalorian, in the series of the same name. Not only do fans love the series, but Pascal’s fan base has considerably expanded ever since the actor started leading as DinMandoDjarin.
Yet, due to the presence of the suit and the helmet, his role has been reduced to a voice-over, with him largely being absent from the third season’s set. Furthermore, the actor has numerous other projects lined up including Marvel’sFantastic Four, which presents a bigger challenge that the actor will be there in the upcomingMandalorianseason and its spin-off movie. If these concerns weren’t enough, Pascal’s latest remark about joining the MCU has spelled more bad news for the actor’s future in theStar Warsuniverse.

Pedro Pascal’s Comments About Joining The MCU Sparks Concerns ForThe Mandalorian
Pedro Pascal was a welcoming addition to the hugeStar Warsuniverse ever since he first starred in the Jon Favreau-directed Disney+ series,The Mandalorian. Its initial success was in no small part thanks to the efforts of the actor himself, who appeared in the entity of season 1 despite doing the helmet the majority of the time.
Yet in season 3, the actor was absent and his role was just being a voice-over actor for his body doubles who wore the suit and helmet for the whole season, as he himself revealed toVarietylast year. His absence, despite the character wearing a helmet, was deeply felt, and his talent seems wasted (seeCollider).
Furthermore, the actor has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a major role as one of the leads in Marvel’s first family, theFantastic Four. And his recent comments regarding his casting onEntertainment Tonightseem to subtly hint the actor is willing to move on fromStar Warsas he statedThere isn’t anything more exciting than being in a cast like that.
Adding on that it feels unbelievable to be in such a family, Pascal’s joining the MCU has hinted that he would be further moving away fromThe Mandalorian, which risks the upcoming projects’ quality. Moreover, fans pretty much identify the character with Pascal and his not being under the helmet seems weird to a lot ofStar Warsfans (seeReddit).

Will Pedro Pascal Be InThe MandalorianSeason 4?
It is no secret that the fourth season of the series is already in the works and many have been curious if Pedro Pascal will be there after scheduling conflicts prevented him from being physically present on the set of season 3. As perBespin Bulletin, the actor’s commitments toThe Last of UsandGladiator 2would potentially prevent him from being on the set of season 4.
Furthermore, as perInside the Magic, the actor even reportedly left his horror movieWeaponsdue to scheduling conflicts with starring inFantastic Four, even though at the time of this news the actor had not been confirmed for the MCU reboot.
But since his casting as Mr. Fantastic has since been confirmed and the reboot will be released in July 2025, it is possible scheduling conflicts would yet again prevent the actor from being physically present on the sets of season 4 and the spin-off centered on his character.

Although Pascal has on several occasions stated he will not be exiting theStar Warsuniverse and will be playing the character as long as he can (seeScreen Rant), his not being under the helmet might make the quality and the reception of the show drop. Since many times actors improvise and the production changes a lot of dialogues and scenes, him just being a voiceover for dialogues pre-written is certainly a talent wasted.
Furthermore, with theLast of Usseason, 2 also eyeing a 2025 release date (seeUS Magazine), this further comes as a disappointing update for the many fans of the actor and the Disney+ series.
The Mandaloriancan be streamed on Disney+.
