The Mandalorian & Grogu is a movie that has been highly anticipated due to the huge success of the Disney Plus series, which has helped rebuild many people's faith in the Star Wars universe. The film will be released on May 22, 2026, and details about it are slowly starting to become available to fans, which is increasing interest even further.
Pedro Pascal will be returning to take on the lead role in The Mandalorian & Grogu, playing Din Djarin once again, this time on the big screen. As Disney prepares to adapt this world and its characters to the big screen, some changes are likely, and there's one aspect that
Pascal would really like to see altered.
Mandalorian & Grogu Is Being Worryingly Handcuffed Despite Its Popularity
Mandalorian & Grogu is being handcuffed already, despite the popularity of the television series.
Pascal has worked under the iconic helmet for the vast majority of The Mandalorian. It has created an iconic look for the character and is something that Djarin is notorious for at this point. However, ScreenRant asked Pascal if Djarin would be helmetless this time. He said, "I hope so, I really do. I know everything that there is to know, and I'm not gonna tell you any of it because I want you to experience it. I want everyone to experience the incredible surprises that are in store in one of the greatest adventure movies that has ever been made. I mean that."
Of course, Pascal isn't going to give away whether or not Djarin will be helmetless throughout the movie, as that would likely be a significant spoiler at this point. Djarin has taken the helmet off within the television show, but those moments are few and far between in the grand scheme of things, and he did keep it on in front of other people throughout the third season of The Mandalorian. That points to the likelihood of him doing the same thing for The Mandalorian & Grogu.
However, there are many fans of the show who would like to see more of Pascal physically. The actor has a legion of fans, and his popularity is only set to grow by the time this movie is released due to his upcoming role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Therefore, it makes sense that Disney would want to push his face into the film as much as possible because it would make a massive impact when it comes to advertising it, especially with the trailers.
There is a high chance that Pascal will get to work without the helmet in some aspects of the movie because that would make sense, as he's already taken it off. However, Djarin is best known to fans with the helmet on at this point in time, so it also wouldn't be a surprise to see him wearing it for the majority of the movie in a bid to remain consistent with what people know. Audiences want to see the television show in an extremely extended form when it comes to The Mandalorian & Grogu, therefore not breaking tradition too much will be important in making that happen for people.
