Pedro Pascal Wants to Keep Playing Din Djarin After The Mandalorian and Grogu

Pedro Pascal is not ready to hang up the helmet. Or, more accurately, he is not ready for everyone involved in wearing the helmet to hang it up.

Speaking during a London Q&A attended by GamesRadar+, Pascal said he hopes to continue playing Din Djarin beyond The Mandalorian and Grogu, calling the role the longest creative relationship of his career. As he put it, he would like to keep going “for as long as my body, or as many bodies as we put into the suit, can take it,” according to GamesRadar+.

That is a very Pedro Pascal way of saying: yes, the Mandalorian business may continue.

Din Djarin Is No Short-Term Gig Anymore

Pascal first stepped into the role when The Mandalorian premiered in 2019. Seven years later, Din Djarin has become one of modern Star Wars’ most recognizable characters — even though the show’s central joke remains that its biggest star spends a lot of time behind a helmet, in a voice booth, or sharing suit duties with performers who do the physical work.

That is why his “many bodies in the suit” line is funny, but also honest. Din Djarin has always been a collaborative performance: Pascal’s voice and emotional presence, combined with the physical language of the actors and stunt performers inside the armor.

And somehow, it works. The helmet does not make Din less human. If anything, it has made small gestures, silences, and very tired dad energy do half the acting.

The Big Screen Changes the Stakes

The official StarWars.com page for The Mandalorian and Grogu lists the film for theatrical release on May 22, 2026, with Din and Grogu enlisted by the New Republic as Imperial warlords remain scattered through the galaxy.

That matters because this is not just another streaming chapter. This is Din Djarin’s jump to the big screen, and Pascal’s comments suggest he does not see it as an endpoint.

GamesRadar+ notes that The Mandalorian and Grogu marks the character’s first theatrical adventure, with Pascal starring alongside Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward and Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt. If the film performs well, it is not hard to imagine Lucasfilm wanting more stories with its most reliable Clan of Two.

The MandoVerse Still Has Room to Move

This also fits the wider conversation around the future of the MandoVerse. We recently covered how Jon Favreau plans to talk with Dave Filoni about what comes next after The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Pascal’s enthusiasm adds another piece to that puzzle.

There is no official confirmation of another Din Djarin project after the movie. But when the star says he wants to keep going, and the character remains one of the cleanest modern success stories in Star Wars, the door is clearly not locked.

Din Djarin began as a masked bounty hunter with a job.

He became a reluctant father, a franchise anchor, and now a theatrical lead.

If Pascal gets his way, the helmet still has a few more miles left in it.
