For years, Pedro Pascal has mastered the art of belonging to fandoms that feel larger than cinema itself. First came the quiet grief and steel beneath Din Djarin’s beskar helmet in The Mandalorian, then the bruised humanity of Joel Miller in The Last of Us. Now, while heavily promoting The Mandalorian and Grogu ahead of its May 22, 2026, release, Pascal finds himself answering just as many questions about another galaxy-sized franchise altogether.

 His upcoming role in Avengers: Doomsday has quietly become one of the most anticipated pieces of Marvel’s future, and judging by his latest comments, Pascal sounds every bit as overwhelmed by the experience as longtime MCU fans imagining him inside that universe for the first time.

During a recent appearance on Good Morning America tied to the promotional tour for The Mandalorian and Grogu, on May 11, 2026, Pedro Pascal shared one of the most vivid descriptions yet of what filming Avengers: Doomsday actually felt like behind the scenes. 

“I remember I took a phone call and we are all at what would be called base camp,” Pascal recalled. 

“And I am sitting there and talking, but looking around and seeing all of like varying Avengers in half costumes, going to the bathroom, walking around, and it felt like some kind of Avengers retreat or home,” he recalled. The person on the receiving end of the phone call was even painted a picture, less of the scene and more of Pascal's disbelief.

While Avengers: Doomsday remains tightly guarded, Pascal is widely expected to play Reed Richards following Marvel’s new iteration of the Fantastic Four. Meanwhile, The Mandalorian and Grogu marks his return as Din Djarin after the massive success of The Mandalorian, which helped redefine Disney’s streaming era and transformed the masked bounty hunter into one of modern franchise television’s most recognizable figures.

And if Pascal’s dreamlike description was not enough to ignite MCU speculation, another Marvel star may have revealed just how chaotic the production really is behind closed doors.

Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays Ben Grimm aka The Thing, recently discussed Avengers: Doomsday on the Happy Sad Confused podcast and revealed that the film’s scale has created an unusually fragmented production process. According to Moss-Bachrach, working on the Avengers movie felt far more compartmentalized than filming The Fantastic Four: First Steps because actors were often only seeing isolated sections of the story rather than the complete narrative.

He explained that the multiversal structure occasionally became difficult to track, with directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo frequently helping actors understand where their characters fit within the larger MCU puzzle. The biggest revelation came when Moss-Bachrach admitted that the version of the script he read seemingly did not even contain a finalized ending. 

“Yeah, I did read a full script, but those scripts change quite a bit,” he said.

“Probably not, it probably did not have a full third act. I do not think it had an ending.”

At this point, Avengers: Doomsday already sounds more like Marvel attempting another cinematic moon landing. Between Pedro Pascal describing it as an “Avengers retreat” and stars admitting the ending may still be evolving, the film has become the kind of chaotic blockbuster mystery that fandom thrives on.
