Pedro Pascal’s 8 movies and TV shows to watch before Fantastic Four 2025

Pedro Pascal is officially Mr. Fantastic, and Fantastic Four is shaping up to be 2025’s biggest superhero event. The internet’s favorite “daddy” is swapping bounty hunts for cosmic battles, leading Marvel’s first family into a new era. Before he stretches into superhero stardom, here’s where to watch Pascal at his absolute best.

Pascal trades bounty hunting for Manhattan glamour in this upcoming rom-com, playing a charming, slightly manipulative power player. Expect sharp banter, high-fashion chaos, and his effortless charisma stealing every frame. It’s a fresh, stylish turn that shows his range before he dons the Marvel mantle. Think Succession meets Crazy Rich Asians, but with Pascal’s smirk running the show.

Pedro’s Joel is gruff, haunted, and heartbreakingly human in HBO’s hit. Sure, there are zombies and action, but it’s the tender “reluctant dad” energy that broke the internet (and our hearts). Every episode feels like a gut punch wrapped in blockbuster visuals, reminding us why Pascal is TV’s most beloved action star.

Before Baby Yoda fame, Pascal was taking down Colombian cartels as DEA agent Javier Peña. Swagger, grit, and that now-iconic mustache made him a Netflix icon. Narcos isn’t just thrilling crime drama, it’s where Pedro became a household name, proving he could balance intensity with undeniable cool.

Pascal joins Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac in a Netflix thriller where a lucrative jungle heist spirals into chaos. The tension is high, bullets fly, and survival instincts kick in. Pedro stands out as the calm, calculated operator, proving he can thrive in high-octane action while still exuding his trademark charm.

Pascal and Nicolas Cage form cinema’s most unexpected dream team. As the sweetest drug lord ever, and Cage superfan, Pascal delivers comedy, action, and endless meme fuel. This buddy action-comedy proves he can do meta-humor as effortlessly as he does heroics, making it an instant cult favorite.

Helmeted and mostly silent, Pascal turned Din Djarin into a pop-culture phenomenon. His voice, presence, and bond with Grogu (Baby Yoda) make The Mandalorian the jewel of Disney+. Few actors can command global adoration without showing their face, Pascal makes it look easy.

Pascal’s next big-screen spectacle pits him against brutal arenas and imperial betrayals in Ridley Scott’s long-awaited sequel. Details are scarce, but his commanding presence and steely intensity guarantee he’ll dominate the Colosseum. Expect one of 2025’s most epic, blood-soaked blockbusters, and another iconic Pascal performance.

Pedro simply steals the scene in, where he plays Agent Whiskey, complete with cowboy hat, lethal whip, and slick Southern charm. Over-the-top and ridiculously fun, he brings swagger to this spy sequel, stealing scenes with effortless style. A cult-favorite role that shows just how playful Pascal can be.
