Pedro Pascal thinks that Nicolas Cage would be great as his titular character in The Mandalorian. Pascal made his debut as Din Djarin on Disney+ in 2019, when the hit Star Wars show first premiered. The actor was hand-picked for the role by executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, following his stand-out roles in Netflix’s Narcos and HBO’s Game of Thrones. Due to the nature of Din’s character, Pascal has only lent his face to The Mandalorian lead role on three different occasions, though his voice and stature alone has made a huge impact on the audience.
The role of Din, however, is considered to be a team effort by Pascal himself. Due to scheduling conflicts with other films and shows he’s been working on, Pascal isn’t always available to be on set during The Mandalorian’s filming. This was especially true during The Mandalorian season 1, though the actor was much more present on set for season 2. Din has thus also been portrayed by Brendan Wayne (“The Gunslinger”), Lateef Crowder (“The Brawler”), and Barry Lowin. Crowder has worked with Pascal before on 2017’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle, something that only helps the seamless transition between everyone who steps into Din’s beskar suit. Though all these actors have come together to bring Din to life, Pascal remains the essence of The Mandalorian, lending his voice and interpretation of the Star Wars character in a now-beloved performance.
