A few months ago, there were rumors making the rounds that Pedro Pascal was threatening to quit The Mandalorian because he wanted to spend more time without the character’s signature helmet, even though he’d have surely been made aware it was one of the requirements of the job when he first entered negotiations to star.
Further reports claimed he was being difficult to work with and had even threatened to take the issue to Lucasfilm, before it was quietly debunked and never spoken of again. Until now, that is. Time to throw on those tinfoil hats and take a deep dive into conspiracy theory territory, because insider Grace Randolph has hinted Din Djarin might not be the series lead when The Mandalorian returns for Season 3.
Obviously, Pascal’s handsome visage was prominently displayed for a great deal of this week’s episode “The Believer”, leading many to think it wasn’t a coincidence Mando spent so much time without his helmet on after the tales of discontent had spread across the internet. Randolph went on to say that she’s heard the Boba Fett spinoff is currently shooting, even though it wasn’t announced at the recent Disney Investor Day.
As of yet, the studio haven’t confirmed whether Temuera Morrison is getting his own show or not, while Jon Favreau hoped The Mandalorian would be back in front of cameras before the end of the year, and Season 3 has already been given a release window. Joining the dots between unconfirmed stories of Boba Fett allegedly filming and having him replace Mando as the main focus of the narrative requires a pretty big leap in logic, but the most likely explanation is that both citizens of Mandalore are shooting the same show and they’ll be back on our screens next year.
