It's A Big Week For Pedro Pascal

Pedro Pascal is about to have one of the biggest weeks of his career, with multiple major releases recently behind him and set to arrive in the near future. After rising to prominence from his roles in Game of Thrones and The Mandalorian, two of the greatest TV series of all time, Pascal has become a household name and one of Hollywood's biggest celebrities. His A-list status, however, hasn't prevented him from more creative endeavors, starring in recent indie gems such as The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Freaky Tales.

Pascal is also still fresh off his roles in Ridley Scott's Gladiator II and the Oscar-nominated animated film The Wild Robot, as well as his appearances during Saturday Night Live's 50th Anniversary Special. Apart from his upcoming franchise blockbusters, Pascal will also star in two 2025 A24 films – Materialists by writer/director Celine Song of Past Lives acclaim and Eddington from writer/director Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar). These highly anticipated projects hardly scratch the surface of what Pascal has in store.

Pedro Pascal Has 3 Big Events This Week

Four If You Count The Eddington Teaser Release

While every week seems big in Pascal's world, this one in particular is worth a special shout-out. The Last of Us season 2 premiered on HBO last Sunday, April 13, 2025, after more than a 2-year hiatus from its celebrated season 1 finale. Today, on Thursday, April 17, 2025, the first official trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps dropped, which is set to be released on July 25, 2025. In addition, the upcoming Star Wars blockbuster The Mandalorian & Grogu is being showcased at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Japan this weekend, which could inspire another trailer drop.

Pascal's 2025 and 2026 slate is truly incredible, balancing critically acclaimed and potential awards-buzzy works with some of the biggest superhero movies and blockbuster releases of this year and the next. While the anticipation builds over Spring 2025 for the first Fantastic Four movie in the MCU to be released, The Last of Us will be releasing new episodes until its season 2 finale on May 25, 2025. The first official teaser for Eddington, which will hit theaters on July 18, 2025 – just one week before First Steps – was also released earlier this week.

Pedro Pascal Is Going To Dominate This Summer & Next Summer

He's Got An Avengers Movie & Star Wars Release In The Same Year

Pascal's surging momentum from his slate of 2025 releases and potential Oscars consideration should lead to even greater success ahead. Hopes are high for The Fantastic Four: First Steps to start Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the right foot and will lead to Pascal's appearances in Avengers: Doomsday next year and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027. Pedro Pascal will remarkably star in both an Avengers and Star Wars movie in 2026, which could very well make him the biggest star on the planet.
