Production on The Mandalorian & Grogu will begin in 2024—which, one might assume, would make it very difficult for star Pedro Pascal to be a part of this. After all, he will be shooting season two of The Last of Us for a few months starting in February and is likely to lead a Fantastic Four movie soon too, which almost certainly also has to film this year.
So no Pedro? Not so fast. Pascal hasn’t been on set and in the suit for The Mandalorian for some time. That means Favreau could basically make the entire movie, or at least huge chunks of it, without him, then bring him in to do voiceover work at a later date. We’d bet anything that, once the movie is released, it’s his name leading the credits. Though, again, this is unconfirmed at the moment.
