Pedro Pascal is set to continue his journey with the “Star Wars” universe, albeit in a different capacity, by potentially leading in Tony Gilroy’s indie film “Behemoth!” under Searchlight Pictures. Known for his role as the Mandalorian, Pascal is currently in discussions to star in this project, which was initially linked to Oscar Isaac.

Shifting Roles in Hollywood
Pascal’s involvement in “Behemoth!” comes after he had to step away from Zach Cregger’s horror project “Weapons” due to scheduling conflicts, which subsequently led to Josh Brolin replacing him. This change-up reflects a common theme in the industry, as noted by the reshuffling in Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein.” Originally, Andrew Garfield was to star alongside Oscar Isaac, but due to the SAG-AFTRA strike and subsequent scheduling clashes, Jacob Elordi took over the role just weeks before filming commenced.
Garfield later expressed his mixed feelings about missing out on the role but acknowledged the value it had for Elordi’s career, suggesting that the experience was more beneficial for the younger actor.
Busy Year for Pascal
2025 has been a bustling year for Pascal with multiple high-profile projects. Besides the anticipated “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” where he plays Reed Richards, Pascal has also been involved in “The Last of Us: Season 2,” “Materialists,” and “Eddington.” His role as Richards is set to continue in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday.” Furthermore, fans of “Star Wars” will be delighted as Pascal is slated to return as Din Djarin in “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.”
Production and Upcoming Plans
As for “Behemoth!”, the film is scheduled to begin principal photography this fall in Los Angeles, with further details about its release pending. The project will see Tony Gilroy not only creating but also producing alongside Sanne Wohlenberg, promising a compelling addition to both Pascal’s and Gilroy’s impressive portfolios.
As the landscape of Pascal’s career continues to evolve, his shift towards more diverse and challenging roles highlights his versatility as an actor and a stalwart in the entertainment industry. Whether navigating the complex narratives of indie films or leading large-scale franchise movies, Pascal’s trajectory remains a keenly watched aspect of contemporary cinema.
