‘People aren’t used to seeing my face!’ Pedro Pascal discusses the ‘challenges’ of wearing a mask in The Mandalorian and gives an update on series four
Pedro Pascal discussed the challenges of wearing a mask in The Mandalorian and revealed if fans can expect another series in a new interview on Tuesday.
The actor, 47, who stars as the titular character in the Disney+ Star Wars show, admitted that he often goes noticed as people ‘aren’t used to seeing his face.’
The hotly-anticipated third series hit TV screens earlier this month and as fans of the programme ask if a fourth is in the works, Pedro admitted he is ‘blabbermouth.’
Speaking in a new interview with Radio Times, the star revealed what it is really like to play the lone bounty hunter and the next instalment is ‘already written’.
Perdo said: ‘Kids who watch The Mandalorian are always having trouble understanding what their parents are on about when they’re introducing me to them, because they’re not used to seeing my face!’

Pedro explained: ‘Wearing the mask has its challenges. You’d be fascinated to find out what happens if you can’t see just below your eyes.’
His armoured head-to-toe costume, which is constructed from heavy plastic, features wide shoulders, with that star confessing that he feels like ‘a human pinball machine!’
Episodes of The Mandalorian are released on a weekly basis, with the series wrapping up next month.
Joking ahead of series four, Pedro later teased: ‘It’s a mystery. There’s such preciousness around even saying that I’m signed up for season four if it’s already written.
‘I’m naturally a blabbermouth, but I really get protective of it, because I get a thrill out of the surprises that are in store for the audience.’
Pedro plays the titular character, who is a devoted bounty hunter that hails from Mandalore, who has been charged with the care of a creature named Grogu, a.k.a. Baby Yoda.
When asked about the beloved and adorable character on Jimmy Kimmel Live recently, Pascal teased, ‘He’s been very good he’s still learning. Teaching. Protected. Protecting.’
He also joked, ‘I think if I say any more I’ll be replaced, not just as The Mandalorian, but as a human being in life.’

It comes after the news that Mandalorian star Gina Carano’s character Cara Dune will remain in the show, Disney+ have announced, two years after the star was sacked following controversial social media posts.
Back in February 2021, actress and former MMA fighter Carano, 40, was fired from the cast, following online outrage over a social media post that likened the murder of Jews during the Holocaust to the US political climate.
Despite her sacking Carano was a presence in season two of the hit show – which aired from October-December 2020 – and she may return for further episodes in season three.
Executive producer and director Rick Famuyiwa told Deadline: ‘Cara was a big part and continues as a character to be part of the world. It had to be addressed in the creative and [Jon Favreau] took the time to think about that.’
