Remember when Pascal was 'too niche' for mainstream roles? Now he's basically Hollywood's default leading man. What a glow up 🌟

Tony Gilroy directing Pascal is chef's kiss. These two doing for musicals what Andor did for Star Wars? Inject it straight into my veins.

Nobody deserves that Reed Richards role more after seeing what he did in The Last of Us. Marvel finally got casting right for once!

Except he's literally twice the age of comic book Reed but y'all ain't ready for that conversation

Pedro Pascal’s Next Big Role After Avengers: Doomsday – Is He Returning to Star Wars as Din Djarin?
With Avengers: Doomsday wrapping production, fans are speculating whether Pedro Pascal will reprise his iconic role as Din Djarin in the Star Wars universe. Pascal has already confirmed his involvement in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, but rumors suggest deeper integration into the franchise’s future.
Recent reports indicate Lucasfilm is developing additional Mandalorian-era projects, and Pascal’s schedule clearance post-Doomsday positions him as a key player. His Reed Richards in the MCU and Din Djarin in Star Wars create an unprecedented dual-franchise dominance.




Potential Star Wars Projects Featuring Pascal
- Mandoverse crossover event series
- Grogu-centric spinoff films
- Live-action adaptation of Knights of the Old Republic
How Will Reed Richards Factor Into the New Avengers Lineup? (Spoiler: Not As Leader)


Despite initial speculation, insider sources confirm Pascal’s Reed Richards won’t be assuming leadership of the Avengers in Doomsday. The character will instead serve as a strategic advisor while other heroes like Sam Wilson’s Captain America take point.
This aligns with Pascal’s own comments downplaying leadership rumors: “That’s a little bit of a mislead.” The decision preserves Richards’ scientific genius role while allowing for fresh team dynamics.






Tony Gilroy’s ‘Behemoth’ – Could This Be Pascal’s Oscar Vehicle?


The Searchlight Pictures project Behemoth, initially developed for Oscar Isaac, now has Pascal in negotiations. Details remain scarce, but the music-scoring premise and Gilroy’s involvement (Andor, Michael Clayton) suggest prestige ambitions.
Pascal’s recent collaborations with auteurs like Ridley Scott indicate a deliberate career shift toward more dramatic fare between franchise commitments. Industry insiders note the role could showcase his underutilized range beyond action heroes.
| Potential Award Considerations | Challenges |
|---|---|
| Complex protagonist role | Scheduling around Marvel/Star Wars |
| Gilroy’s award-winning direction | Following Isaac’s abandoned version |
| Music-centric dramatic premise | Limited production timeline |
Who Would Win in a Fight: Din Djarin or Reed Richards?


This hypothetical matchup has sparked furious debate among fans since Pascal assumed both roles. While Richards possesses superior intellect and elastic abilities, Djarin’s combat training and Beskar armor present unique advantages.
Key factors in the matchup:
- Environment (urban vs. outer space)
- Prep time for Richards
- Djarin’s access to Mandalorian weaponry
- Potential involvement of Grogu






The Robert Downey Jr. Factor: How Iron Man’s Return Affects Pascal’s MCU Future


Downey’s surprising return as Doctor Doom in Doomsday creates both opportunities and challenges for Pascal’s Reed Richards. Their on-screen rivalry is reportedly intense, with Downey hosting private “homework days” to workshop scenes.
Industry observers note the parallel to RDJ mentoring Pascal’s generation much like he did with Tom Holland. This dynamic could shape Richards’ character arc across future Fantastic Four and Avengers installments.







Pedro Pascal fatigue is REAL. Between Marvel, Star Wars and now Tony Gilroy’s project, dude’s everywhere like a bad rash. Can’t wait for the inevitable oversaturation backlash 🙄
Hard disagree – Pascal’s got serious range. Comparing his Reed Richards to Oberyn Martell shows he’s not just phoning it in.
Lol ‘bad rash’? Bro just say you’re jealous of his career resurgence
That Behemoth project sounds pretentious as hell. ‘Music scoring movie’? Just say it’s another artsy Oscar bait flick 💀
