Pedro Pascal Tells Good Morning America What’s Next For ‘The Mandalorian’ In Season 2 (VIDEO)

The Mandalorian
Pedro Pascal, the man behind The Mandalorian‘s mask, has a lot of things to talk about with his hit Disney+ series. He unveiled a few of them earlier today on Good Morning America, during a brief segment dedicated to the show.

 

Following yesterday’s brief conversation with Giancarlo Esposito, Pedro Pascal was brought on to talk more about The Mandalorian. Pascal explained that he was pleasantly surprised at what is in store for the show with the second season premiere:

 

“You know, I will say that reading the first episode of the second season, I was taken aback in a really good way at how impressive that the first episode read, and already with the evidence of the first season, knowing that they were able to achieve everything that they set out to, and seeing this incredibly ostentatious first episode with the story of an action sequence and the way that it read on the page and just that feeling that ‘my gosh, they’re going to achieve this visual experience!’ Like, this isn’t just ‘let’s just describe it as best as we can and see what we end up achieving with it’ – it is undoubtedly going to be achieved, and I kind of couldn’t believe that, and I understood ‘oh, so this is how they keep it up with the second season; this is how they don’t disappoint.'”

 

Pascal also discussed what it’s like to work with his puppet co-star, the Child, and provided some vague details about a scene in the new season:

 

“This baby is beautiful, and the details on the Child are incredible. We’re talking about this adorable peach fuzz hair on the tips of its ears. You’d be surprised, he’s an incredible scene partner. Industrial Light and Magic, the effects team that work the puppet in a scene with me, you wouldn’t believe what they’d be able to do. At one point… I’m not sure if it’ll be in the final cut, but I improvised a line at the start of a scene. Basically, ‘don’t get too close to the fire’, and Baby Yoda, like, turned its head and reacted to me, and like, moved away from that, and that wasn’t even in the writing. So there I am improvising with Baby Yoda!”
