The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal is in talks to join the Searchlight Pictures movie Behemoth!, written and directed by Andor’s Tony Gilroy.
Plot details are vague at this time but Gilroy has said in interviews that the film revolves around a cellist. Gilroy would also produce with Sanne Wohlenberg [also from Andor]. The film is set to begin principal photography this fall in Los Angeles, with release plans to be announced at a later date.
Pascal is coming off a hugely successful summer, with A24 and Celine Song’s Materialists, A24 and Ari Aster’s Eddington and Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps. All three projects premiered to widespread critical acclaim, with Materialists being A24’s third highest grossing opening ever, and Fantastic Four: First Steps being Marvel’s highest grossing opening of 2025.
Fantastic Four kicked off the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Pascal recently wrapped production on the next Avengers movie, Avengers: Doomsday, which will premiere in 2026. Also in 2026, Pedro will reprise his role as Din Djarin in Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Gilroy is coming off the final season of Andor, which earned strong ratings and reviews which included an Emmy nomination for best drama.
