Pedro Pascal has quietly dominated your watchlist. Whether it’s prestige drama, space-westerns, or big-budget disasters dressed up in armour and cultural appropriation, he’s shown up, delivered the goods, and usually died doing it. But behind the Tumblr thirst and SNL sketches is a filmography that swerves wildly between iconic and “why is this happening to me?”
We ranked his most notable films and shows from best to worst, based solely on Rotten Tomatoes scores. These aren’t personal opinions, they’re cold, unflinching critic verdicts. That means some fan favourites didn’t make the cut. Yes, Kingsman 2 is way down there. Yes, Game of Thrones Season 4 really was that good. No, we don’t make the rules. Pedro just lives in all of them.
A Critically-Ranked Journey Through Pedro Pascal’s Filmography
Game of Thrones (Season 4) – 97%
Role: Oberyn Martell
Where to watch: JioHotstar
This was the role that turned Pascal from “that guy from that thing” into The Guy. Seven episodes, one flirtatious spear, and a skull pop heard around the world. Oberyn was witty, bisexual, and casually dangerous. Basically Pedro Pascal’s LinkedIn headline ever since.
Narcos (Season 3) – 97%
Role: Javier Peña
Where to watch: Netflix
Cocaine, corruption, and the tightest government-issued trousers in Colombia. Pascal's DEA agent wasn’t just there to bring down cartels. He brought simmering tension, moral ambiguity, and A-grade moustache work.
The Last of Us (Season 1) – 96%
Role: Joel
Where to watch: JioHotstar
Cordyceps, trauma, and a reluctant dad arc so emotionally draining you’ll end up texting your ex. Pascal carries this prestige fungus saga on his back and somehow makes surviving the apocalypse look emotionally nuanced and hot.
The Wild Robot – 96%
Role: Fink (voice)
Where to watch: JioHotstar
Pascal voices a scrappy fox in this beautifully animated survival tale. Somehow manages to be sly, soulful, and very Pedro without ever showing his face.
If Beale Street Could Talk – 95%
Role: Pietro Alvarez
Where to watch: Netflix
A brief role in Barry Jenkins’ heartbreakingly tender drama, but Pascal makes it count. Quiet dignity, real grief, and none of the armour.
The Mandalorian (Season 1) – 93%
Role: Din Djarin
Where to watch: JioHotstar
You never see his face but somehow he made a bucket-headed bounty hunter feel human. The Mandalorian made Star Wars cool again and gave us Pedro Pascal as a space dad who doesn’t talk much but definitely cares.
Prospect – 89%
Role: Ezra
Where to watch: TBD
Low-budget sci-fi rarely hits this hard. Pascal’s turn as a morally shady survivalist feels like True Grit in space. Dusty, dangerous, and surprisingly layered. It’s a slow burn, but a rewarding one.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent – 87%
Role: Javi
Where to watch: Netflix
The only man alive who can out-earnest Nicolas Cage while playing his obsessive fan. This meta comedy lets Pascal flex his comedic timing, bromantic chemistry, and deeply relatable love for Paddington 2.
We Can Be Heroes – 76%
Role: Marcus Moreno
Where to watch: Netflix
Is it a kid’s film? Yes. Does Pascal take it seriously anyway? Also yes. He plays a superhero dad in Robert Rodriguez’s colourful chaos-fest and somehow manages to add actual gravitas to lines like “go team go”.
Triple Frontier – 71%
Role: Francisco “Catfish” Morales
Where to watch: Netflix
A bunch of ex-soldiers rob a drug lord and emotionally spiral in the Andes. Think The Treasure of the Sierra Madre but with more brooding and sweat. Pascal plays one of the few likeable ones, which is saying something.
Gladiator II – 70%
Role: General Acacius
Where to watch: Prime Video
He’s the brooding Roman general with loyalty issues and killer forearms. The film’s still new, but early reviews say Pascal brings the grit even if the script wobbles like a sword in sand.
Bloodsucking Bastards – 68%
Role: Max
Where to watch: TBD
An early-career vampire office comedy so forgettable even Rotten Tomatoes wants to forget it. If you’ve seen it, no you haven’t.
Wonder Woman 1984 – 58%
Role: Maxwell Lord
Where to watch: JioHotstar
He chews the scenery like it’s made of cocaine and dreams, which is basically what this plot is built on. Critics hated the film’s clunky wish-logic and messy pacing, but Pascal’s campy villain performance? Honestly unforgettable.
The Equalizer 2 – 52%
Role: Dave York
Where to watch: MX Player
This sequel had all the subtlety of a crowbar to the kneecaps. Pascal plays the friend-turned-villain, which sounds exciting until you realise the film is mostly Denzel Washington punching people in slow motion.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle – 51%
Role: Agent Whiskey
Where to watch: TBD
There’s a lasso. There’s country music. There’s Pedro Pascal with a moustache so large it could hold diplomatic talks. Sadly, none of it saves this bloated sequel from feeling like a very long deleted scene.
The Great Wall – 35%
Role: Pero Tovar
Where to watch: Netflix
Dragons. Matt Damon. A Spanish-accented Pascal inexplicably showing up to fight mythical creatures in ancient China. This isn’t a film, it’s a fever dream. Critics were not amused. Neither were most audiences. Not even the wall could protect him from this one.
The Bubble – 20%
Role: Ensemble
Where to watch: Netflix
Netflix’s pandemic-era comedy that manages to be more exhausting than the real thing. Pedro plays a parody of a blockbuster action star and somehow still comes off as the most sincere person in the cast.
