6 Must-Watch Pedro Pascal Movies Coming Soon

by

It seems like Pedro Pascal is everywhere these days, and nobody’s complaining! He deserves this success due to his consistent top-notch performances. Moreover, it’s remarkable how he often sports a mustache in his roles – a trait that would make Burt Reynolds smile with approval.

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I can’t help but marvel at the versatility of Pascal’s acting prowess over the past decade. In no less than 18 films and series throughout the 2020s, he has left me spellbound with his remarkable range. Whether he transformed into a galactic bounty hunter or a commanding Roman general, Pascal never failed to captivate viewers like myself. The best is yet to come, as I eagerly anticipate his future projects gracing the silver screen.

In 2025 and 2026, several films featuring Pedro Pascal are scheduled for release. Among these, three are sequels from established franchises, while the remaining ones offer a chance to explore new landscapes for fans. With his versatile talent, there’s no question that the Chilean-American actor will shine, regardless of the environment he’s in.

‘Freaky Tales’

April 4, 2025

In the capable hands of directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, I found myself immersed in the vibrant world of Freaky Tales, an action-comedy that breathes life into 1987 Oakland, California through a series of interconnected narratives. Each story delves deep into the rich tapestry of the city’s diverse subcultures, featuring tales such as brave teenagers standing their ground against hate groups, aspiring rappers aiming for Hip Gip stardom, a hitman (Pascal) seeking redemption, and a basketball player battling demons from his past.

Mayhem in Oakland

The movie titled “Freaky Tales” features a plot style that Pascal typically finds entertaining. It first screened at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and is scheduled for theater release in April 2025. On Rotten Tomatoes, it boasts a score of 69%, with numerous critics commending director Ryan Fleck for authentically portraying the essence of his East Bay upbringing. Various Oakland landmarks are incorporated into the film, contributing to its genuine aesthetic. Moreover, the city’s influential hip-hop figure, Too Short, serves as an executive producer, adding a touch of cultural accuracy to the production.

‘Materialists’

June 13, 2025

Modern romantic comedies may not be as widely appreciated as they once were in the 2000s, but some filmmakers like Celine Song (“Past Lives”) are striving diligently to keep love alive. Her upcoming movie, “Materialists,” appears intriguing. In this film, Lucy (portrayed by Dakota Johnson), a well-known matchmaker in New York City, finds herself entangled in a confusing and precarious romance with multiple unexpected twists when she encounters Randy (Pedro Pascal), a wealthy bachelor. The complications arise because her former boyfriend John (Chris Evans) is also vying for her affections.

Love Is Complex

Pedro Pascal has previously navigated romantic waters, as seen in the 2023 LGBTQ-themed film “Strange Way of Life,” so he’s well-equipped for this role. Furthermore, with a star-studded cast, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic. Two Marvel Cinematic Universe actors vying for the affection of a woman who seems to understand love inside and out? We’re all in! Dakota Johnson likely had a blast on set given her past roles in similar films. Here’s hoping for a blend between “How to Be Single” and “Fifty Shades of Grey.

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’

July 25, 2025

Following the acquisition of rights for the legendary four-member superhero squad, Marvel Studios decided to veer away from an origin story and instead focus on a distinct perspective. As a result, The Fantastic Four: First Moves will find our heroes defending their 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic realm against the cosmic devourer Galactus. Pedro Pascal is set to play Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, in this film directed by Matt Shakman, who’s famously handled episodes for Fargo and Game of Thrones. This movie also aims to initiate Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A New Dawn

Fans were hoping for John Krasinski as Jack Ryan, but Pedro Pascal is an excellent alternative choice instead. Given his past roles in DC and Star Wars franchises, Pascal seems well-versed in the intricacies of big-scale productions. Director Jon Watts, who helmed all three Spider-Man films featuring Tom Holland, might be regretting his decision to pass on the upcoming MCU blockbuster to work on Wolfs instead. Unfortunately, that film turned out to be a disaster, and it seems he doesn’t have any other significant projects lined up at the moment. While Watts would undoubtedly have excelled in the role, Shakman has also demonstrated his competence for such opportunities.

‘Eddington’

Unconfirmed 2025 Release Date

In the film titled “Eddington,” director Ari Aster (recognized for “Midsommar” and “Hereditary”), guides us through the small town of Eddington, New Mexico, where a power struggle unfolds. When Sheriff Joe Cross (portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix) defies wearing a face mask at a grocery store, he undergoes a political transformation, causing his future to become more defined. Cross decides to contest for mayor, sparking a tense competition with the current office holder, Ted Garcia (played by Pedro Pascal).

Napoleon Vs. General Acacias

Will Joe Cross climb step by step towards gaining power? It’s intriguing to watch how it unfolds. Since Pascal has held leadership positions before, notably in Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II”, we think he will perform admirably. Originally, Aster planned for the movie to mark his directorial debut, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he had to postpone the project for years. However, when COVID-19 emerged, he revised the script to include pandemic elements.

‘Avengers: Doomsday’

May 1, 2026

It has been confirmed that the Fantastic Four will be among the characters featured in the upcoming film “Avengers: Doomsday.” This news signals a busy time for Pedro Pascal once more, although details about the movie’s plot are still unknown. What is certain is that this film will serve as the conclusion to Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Six and “The Multiverse Saga.” The Russo brothers are back at the helm after Destin Daniel Cretton decided to step away from directing the original Kang Dynasty storyline.

Another Grand Event

Regarding the uncertainty surrounding the Marvel Cinematic Universe lately, everyone is keeping their hopes high. Will “Doomsday” surpass “Endgame”? It’s a tough call, but the Russo brothers have proven they can deliver. The fact that many original Avengers cast members are absent raises concerns, yet the newcomers seem promising. Fans, in particular, are eager about Channing Tatum, whose performance as Gambit in “Deadpool & Wolverine” was captivating. Although Deadpool and Wolverine could have been beneficial, there’s still plenty of enjoyment to be had without the Merc with a Mouth.

‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’

May 22, 2026

The tale of bounty hunter Din Djarin, played by Pedro Pascal, and Grogu, or Baby Yoda, carries on following the conclusion of the third season on Disney+. This upcoming film will function as a link between the popular series and the broader universe of the franchise.

One of the Best Star Wars Duos

Playing The Mandalorian significantly boosted Pascal’s fame worldwide, making him eager to slip back into the costume once more. However, whispers suggest he only contributes voice work when dealing with the character. This series is also renowned as one of the finest in the Star Wars universe, so the move to spin off the story into a movie appears shrewd. Interestingly, this wasn’t the initial plan. When Season 4’s production was postponed due to Hollywood strikes, Lucasfilm reconsidered their strategies and opted to focus on a movie instead.
