While details about The Mandalorian & Grogu are still being kept tightly under wraps during the course of its production, there are a few cast members who have been confirmed to appear in Star Wars' next movie. Returning to star in The Mandalorian & Grogu is Pedro Pascal, the actor behind the titular Mandalorian ever since the TV show's 2019 debut. Alongside him are some new and also familiar names, which makes this upcoming movie even more thrilling. Here are all the cast and characters of Star Wars' next movie who have been confirmed so far.
Pedro Pascal Is Din Djarin (The Mandalorian)
Date of Birth: April 2, 1975
- Active since: 1996
Born in Santiago, Chile, Pedro Pascal has become a household name following his debut as Din Djarin in The Mandalorian. Pascal has been active in the industry for a long time, but he made his big break in 2014 with the role of Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones. Taking on the role of DEA agent Javier Peña in all three seasons of Netflix's Narcos only further launched him into stardom. While his role as Din Djarin sealed the deal, playing Joel Miller in HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us has made Pascal one of Hollywood's most in-demand actors.
