Upcoming Pedro Pascal Movies You Need To Check Out

by

Currently, Pedro Pascal is being widely admired as both the internet’s heartthrob and patriarch. His portrayal of two distinctly reserved father figures in hit TV shows like “The Mandalorian” (as Din Djarin) and “The Last of Us” (as Joel Miller), along with the recognition he received for his roles in “Narcos” and “Game of Thrones,” has solidified his status as a well-known figure. Building on this fame, Pascal has also delivered captivating performances in movies such as “Wonder Woman 1984”, “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent”, and “The Wild Robot.

Look forward to catching more of Pascal on the big screen in the upcoming years, as he currently has only film roles confirmed at this point. The films range from popular Disney productions to independent A24 projects, with Pascal set to bring fresh, memorable characters to life while reprising some of his most beloved past roles. For fans who have been missing him on “The Last of Us,” these upcoming movies may provide a bittersweet solace and ample reasons to look forward to them.

Materialists

Celine Song, who gained critical acclaim for her first film “Past Lives,” is moving forward with a new movie focusing on a romantic entanglement involving three individuals. While the concept may be similar, “Materialists” appears to take a more humorous and lighthearted approach compared to the intense dramatic tone of “Past Lives.” For her second project, Dakota Johnson plays Lucy, a matchmaker who is grappling with finding love for herself. Will her dates with affluent bachelor Harry (Pedro Pascal) result in true romance, or can Lucy’s former partner John (Chris Evans) regain her affection?

In the cinemas from June 13, “Materialists” stands out as one of the few romantic comedies released this year amidst a sea of action and family-focused blockbusters. With Pascal starring in it, there’s a strong possibility that it could become an alternative choice for audiences during the summer movie season of 2025. If successful, Pascal’s charm and romantic appeal would contribute significantly to its success. Indeed, if any actor can make Chris Evans (yes, Captain America!) seem ordinary, it’s undeniably talented Mr. Pascal.

Eddington

In the summer of 2022, Pedro Pascal’s second film with A24, titled “Eddington,” is Ari Aster’s latest creation. Known for his work on “Hereditary,” “Midsommar,” and “Beau is Afraid,” this project marks a departure from Aster’s horror roots. Instead, it’s a mix of dark comedy and Western genres. The story unfolds in the fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It centers around the intense clashes between a progressive mayor, played by Pascal, and a conservative sheriff, portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, both residing in Eddington.

Featuring Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, and Austin Butler, “Eddington” is anticipated to be among the most thought-provoking films of the year. Further insights into the movie’s storyline and political satire will unfold at its world premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival this month. The general public will have a chance to understand the hype when it hits theaters on July 18.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Following three underwhelming films directed by Tim Story (in 2005 and 2007), Josh Trank (in 2015), and an unreleased project by Roger Corman, Marvel Studios is optimistic that the fourth attempt will be successful in bringing the Fantastic Four to life on the big screen. With Matt Shakman (“WandaVision”) at the helm, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” seems poised to deliver a film worthy of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s iconic comic book series.

In a world reminiscent of the 1960s, but separate from the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” introduces Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic. His partner, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, played by Vanessa Kirby, is pregnant, making “first steps” the title’s significance. Joseph Quinn takes on the role of Johnny Storm/Human Torch, while Ebon Moss-Bachrach provides voice and motion capture for Ben Grimm/The Thing.

Following the creative resurgence brought about by the well-received “Thunderbolts,” there’s a lot of excitement building up for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” When it premieres in cinemas on July 25, viewers will get to witness the Four as they confront the ominous figure of Galactus, played by Ralph Ineson.

Avengers: Doomsday (and Avengers: Secret Wars)

Fans eager to find out how “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” will impact the Marvel Cinematic Universe won’t have to wait much longer. It has been confirmed that Pedro Pascal and the entire cast of The Fantastic Four will appear in “Avengers: Doomsday,” scheduled for release on May 1, 2026. Given Doctor Doom is a significant adversary of the Fantastic Four in the comics, it’s logical to expect the team would feature prominently in a movie centered around Doom – although the storyline may differ with this new interpretation of Doom, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., who was previously known for his role as Iron Man.

The sequel to “Avengers: Doomsday,” titled “Avengers: Secret Wars,” is set for release on May 7, 2027. While the cast list for “Secret Wars” has not been officially revealed, it’s likely that Marvel Studios will wait to announce details to prevent potential spoilers from “Doomsday.” However, during their Comic-Con panel in 2024, it was confirmed that the Fantastic Four characters will be featured, suggesting that John Krasinski’s Reed Richards will continue to play a significant role in this cinematic universe.

The Mandalorian and Grogu

It’s been a while since a new “Star Wars” film hit the cinemas, with “Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker” wrapping up the sequel trilogy in 2019. However, fans can look forward to seeing their favorite small-screen characters, “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” on the big screen again, as the franchise plans its comeback on May 23, 2026.

Following the strikes by WGA and SAG-AFTRA that disrupted the filming of “The Mandalorian” Season 4 in 2023, director Jon Favreau and co-writer Dave Filoni opted to abandon the Disney+ series in favor of a feature film. This change was driven by the characters Pedro Pascal portrays as the masked bounty hunter Din Djarin and his lovable companion Grogu, the “baby Yoda.” Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White are among the new cast members joining the movie, with Weaver taking on the role of a Rebel Alliance pilot and White portraying Jabba the Hutt’s strong gladiator son Rotta, who was last seen as an infant in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
