Pedro Pascal's 2025 Film Slate Confirms He's Hollywood's Most Fearless Leading Man

Pedro Pascal continues his meteoric rise in 2025 with a meticulously curated portfolio of films that showcase his range—from political satire to high-stakes superhero epics.

Materialists – Out Now

Directed by Celine Song (Past Lives), this smart romantic dramedy finds Pascal in the role of Harry, the charming millionaire caught in a modern love triangle in New York City. He stars opposite Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, bringing emotional depth to a film exploring authenticity, identity, and love in a marketplace world. (Materialists premiered June 13, 2025).

Eddington – A Western Turn with Edge

Pascal takes on the persona of Mayor Ted Garcia in Ari Aster’s haunting neo‑western Eddington. Set during the 2020 pandemic, Pascal’s character clashes with Joaquin Phoenix’s paranoid sheriff in a political powder keg. Premiered at Cannes (May 16) and now playing in theaters, the film is a tense satire that channels contemporary American unrest.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps – MCU Breakthrough

Pascal debuts as Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic in this retro-futuristic reboot. Released July 25, the film positions him at the center of Marvel’s next phase, facing the cosmic threat of Galactus. The film has already surpassed $227 million globally and cemented Pascal as a bona fide MCU heavyweight.
