Pedro Pascal felt the full force of his emotions during the Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu panel at CCXP Mexico.
The Chilean-born actor joined director Jon Favreau as unannounced guests at the event in Mexico City on Sunday ahead of Disney releasing their film May 22. Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White also star in the movie that marks the first theatrical release for a feature from the Star Wars franchise since 2019.
Pascal, sporting a Mexico men’s World Cup 2026 soccer jersey, explained that it was meaningful for him to have the project hit the big screen after he originated his titular character on the streaming series The Mandalorian. The show premiered on Disney+ back in 2019.
“As soon as I saw this, I knew that it would be a new authorship of a streaming experience,” the actor said about the series that was last seen with 2023’s season three finale. “But I always had a dream in my heart that it would be on a big screen because that’s how I was developed as a child. I went to the movie theater so much with my family, and I saw the Star Wars movies on the big screen.”
