The Mandalorian's Star Wars movie future in seems inevitable to star Pedro Pascal. The successful Star Wars TV show first premiered in 2019 and has since gone on to change the game for the franchise, as well as for streaming in general. In an era when television streaming has become a dominant force, The Mandalorian continues to thrive, gifting the series with two seasons so far and a season 3 on the way in February.
One of the main reasons for the series' success has been its compelling lead character, Din Djarin. Mando's story, especially with his beloved Grogu at his side, has become a favorite of Star Wars audiences and has even landed itself an important place in the Star Wars galaxy. Lucasfilm has gone on to announce projects that fit within the show's universe, in a similar way to how the Skywalker Saga anchored the nine Star Wars films together.
Don't you think it's inevitable? I, personally, I have no — truly — I have no idea, but that would be a dream come true. Not that any more dreams could possibly come true! [Laughs] Maybe I've had my fill. [...
As his most recent role in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent alongside Nicolas Cage demonstrated, Pascal has the ability to anchor a movie, which would make a cinematic performance of Mando an exciting opportunity for audiences. With Lucasfilm's Star Wars strategy focusing more on television than films, it's hard to say when a Mandalorian movie would hit screens, or even what it would be about, but it's evidently not an impossibility.
Pascal's enthusiasm for a Mandalorian movie is encouraging to those who want to see even more of Din and Grogu. Audiences have only scratched the surface of Mando's character, and The Mandalorian season 3 story should reveal even more of him as Din grapples with regaining his Mandalorian identity. With the planet of Mandalore about to be shown in live-action for the first time, there will likely be many rich stories to tell that could easily be taken to the big screen.
