Pedro Pascal is clearly not slowing down anytime soon. From galaxy-hopping bounty hunters to elastic-brained geniuses and emotionally wrecked dads, 2025 is shaping up to be a Pascal-powered year for screens big and small. Whether it’s confirmed roles or buzz-worthy rumours, here’s everything we know about the actor’s most anticipated upcoming projects.

The Mandalorian & Grogu

Coming out in May 2026, the Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal will be appearing as Din Djarin in The Mandalorian & Grogu, the action-packed Disney+ series. This theatrical release is already making waves.

This upcoming Star Wars movie continues the story from the hit series. It'll be directed by Jon Favreau, who also directed the first two Iron Man films and plays Happy Hogan in the Marvel universe. Other big names joining the cast include Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White.

The Fantastic Four

Marvel Comics' popular The Fantastic Four: First Step is coming to life with the Marvel Universe set to hit the theatres in July 2025. In this iconic series, Pedro Pascal will be seen as Reed Richards, the historic Mister Fantastic.

Mr. Fantastic leads the Fantastic Four as both their captain and father figure. While his main superpower is the ability to stretch his body due to cosmic radiation, what truly sets him apart is his brilliant mind—he’s widely recognised as the most intelligent character in the Marvel Universe.

The Last of Us Season 2

Pedro Pascal returns as Joel in HBO’s gritty post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us. Following the emotional wreckage of Season 1, the upcoming season, coming out in Spring 2025, is expected to dive into the darker, more complex storyline from the game’s sequel. Fans should gear up for high-stakes survival, emotional gut-punches, and the evolution of Joel and Ellie’s bond.

His role is a toughened survivor navigating a post-apocalyptic world, charged with safeguarding a young girl named Ellie, portrayed by Bella Ramsey.

Avengers: Doomsday

Though not officially confirmed, buzz around Avengers: Doomsday hints that Pascal could be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a mystery role. If true, this would be a major crossover move—blending his sci-fi and superhero cred into the MCU’s next epic showdown.

Pedro Pascal is anticipated to appear as Mister Fantastic in Avengers: Doomsday, hitting screens on May 1, 2026. Although the role and his part in the plot have not been officially announced or confirmed, fans are expecting him in the upcoming Marvel movie.

The Materialists

On the indie front, Pascal is reportedly set to star in The Materialists, a new A24 project from Past Lives director Celine Song. While plot details remain under wraps, with Song’s emotional storytelling style and A24’s unique touch, this film could show a more grounded, vulnerable side of Pascal we haven’t seen before.

The movie includes Dakota Johnson, who plays a New York City matchmaker. Although she’s going through a tough decision due to her complicated love life. Her love life includes a triangle between her ex and a wealthy suitor, played by Pedro Pascal.
