news culture The Mandalorian: Is Pedro Pascal missing from the Disney+ series?
New Hollywood star Pedro Pascal isn’t actually wearing the costume of Din Djarin from The Mandalorian series.
Who is really in Din Djarin’s costume in The Mandalorian? Against all odds, it’s not Pedro Pascal! At the annual Emmy Awards panel discussion by The Hollywood ReporterThe actor answered the FAQ alongside Jeff Bridge (The Big Lebowski), Michael Imperioli (The White Lotus), Evan Peters (Monster – The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer) and Damson Idris (Snowfall). So it’s ultimately two of The Last of Us star’s figureheads, Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder, who sport the famous outfit. Pedro Pascal explains in an interview that he can no longer wear the suit due to neck pain: “There were a lot of tests where I was in the suit and to be honest, my body wasn’t prepared for it for four months.” . That’s why the plot has changed. The character of Din Djarin actually doesn’t have the right to remove his mask to show his face since he returned to the Mandalorian Order. Pedro Pascal is now only a voice actor, which allows him to do other projects besides the series.
