It is rumored that Pedro Pascal is now only doing voice acting for the character The Mandalorian. This has been rumored for quite some time but it now seems that he has been told to get off set.
It is said that Pedro Pascal was complaining because he wanted more time without the helmet on. He was supposedly jealous of all the attention Baby Yoda and Gina Corano were getting and for this wanted more face time. This led to him getting into a huge fight with the Mandalorian creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. It seems that Pedro when on set mentioned it to George Lucas hoping he would be on his side. But after Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni wouldn’t change their mind Pedro became very upset. After this Pedro started showing up late, causing friction and even taking his helmet off without warning in the middle of scenes. He started having a bad attitude, messing up his lines and showing up late. Apparently it became so bad he didn’t quit but was told to get out. Which he did. This apparently happened during the halfway marking of filming for the Mandalorian season two. Pedro will now only be doing voice acting for the Mandalorian character and he’s happy with that as it’s less work for him and he won’t have to wear an uncomfortable costume all day. It also makes the crew happy as they don’t have to worry about the Mandalorian taking his helmet off in the middle of scenes and they also don’t have to deal with all the complaining.
Now there will be a different person acting in the Mandalorian suit. Following season 3 they can neither confirm nor deny that Pedro Pascal will be in it. Pascal doesn’t likely have any problems working with Carano as she said how she recently talked to him about being bullied online. Randolph and Doomcock agree with Favreau and Filoni. “Pedro Pascal, it’s the Mandalorian, a character whose code is to not show his face.” Doomcock also thinks that not showing his face could be hard for the story, but I disagree with it as well, “This is the Way.”It is confirmed by Doomcocks that the problem is solved, Pedro Pascal will not be returning to set of the Mandalorian going into season 3 he will only be recording voice lines for the character. He will no longer be appearing on camera, it will be someone else in the suit from now to future seasons.
