Will Pedro Pascal continue playing The Mandalorian after the movie? His answer should reassure you

It never fails: you’re going to watch a movie you want to see and there’s Pedro Pascal, almost as if he’s a mandatory presence. You’ve seen him in Narcos, Game of Thrones, The Fantastic Four (and soon, Avengers), The Last of Us, Wonder Woman 1984, Gladiator II and he even has time to play Shakespeare in theater, appear in indie films like Materialistas and be the great hope of Star Wars thanks to The Mandalorian. Give us a break, Pedro!
No rest
Many have wondered if, with the premiere of The Mandalorian and Grogu, the Star Wars series is signaling that this is its end. However, nothing could be further from the truth: they are not exactly swimming in an abundance of new fans, and The Mandalorian seems to be the only thing that really works for them. The only question is whether Pedro Pascal will remain on board throughout the seasons.
He answers it himself, as it could be no other way: “I am completely grateful. It is the longest creative relationship I have had, it is the character I have played the longest. Hopefully, I will continue to play him until my body, or until the bodies we can put inside the suit, can withstand it“. It makes sense, of course: for most of the series, his job is just to provide the voice for the character, how could he not want to do an easy and well-paid job?
Of course, from time to time (especially in the movie), Pascal will take off the helmet so that we continue to believe he is behind each of the action scenes, but someone as busy as the actor cannot keep up the galactic pace for long without us finding it strange. For now, the Force is with him.
