As Pedro Pascal Wraps Filming Avengers: Doomsday, The Mandalorian Lead Is Lining Up A Movie Involving Fellow Star Wars Talent
Pedro Pascal's certainly been keeping busy this year. In addition to starring in the 2025 movies Eddington, Materialists and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, this year has also seen him filming Avengers: Doomsday, which will come out at the end of 2026. While Doomsday as a whole is a ways off from wrapping principal photography, Pascal has reportedly finished his work on the upcoming Marvel movie, and now The Mandalorian's lead actor is apparently lining up a new movie that involves some fellow Star Wars talent.
The latest update about Pedro Pascal's career is that he's in talks to star Searchlight Pictures' Behemoth!, which comes from the mind of filmmaker Tony Gilroy. With a resume that includes writing the first four Bourne movies, State of Play and Nightcrawler, as well as directing Michael Clayton, Duplicity and The Bourne Legacy, Star Wars fans know Gilroy co-writing and directing the reshoots for Rogue One. He then went on to create the prequel series Andor, which ended its two-season run in May.
According to Deadline, 'things are heading in the right direction' with Pedro Pascal coming aboard Behemoth!, which Tony Gilroy will write, direct and produce. Specific plot details are being kept secret, but Gilroy has previously said it will follow a cellist, whom I assume Pascal would play. Behemoth! will begin filming this fall, but a release date hasn't been set yet.
Disney+: from $9.99 a month w/ ad-supported planDisney+ is the home for the MCU and Star Wars franchises, meaning there's plenty of Pedro Pascal content to enjoy, even more so when The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives to the platform. Plans start at $9.99 a month for its new ad-supported plan. Go ad-free and pay $15.99 a month or save 16% and pre-pay $159.99 for a year.View Deal
It's cool to see that these two men who worked in separate corners of the Star Wars franchise are gearing up to work together on this upcoming movie. Since The Mandalorian is set several years after Return of the Jedi, and Andor covers the last five years of Cassian Andor's life leading up to Rogue One, there was no way Pascal and Gilroy were ever going to be able to collaborate in a galaxy far, far away. Now Behemoth! is here to bring them together, assuming Pascal is able to work out a deal with Searchlight.
This Behemoth! news follows on the heels of Pedro Pascal both earning an Emmy nomination for his performance as Joel Miller in The Last of Us and making his MCU debut as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The latter co-starred Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. This quartet will team up with the Avengers, New Avengers, X-Men and more when Avengers: Doomsday comes out on December 18, 2026.
Before that, Pedro Pascal will return to the Star Wars universe for The Mandalorian & Grogu, the franchise's first theatrical movie since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. It arrives to the 2026 movies schedule on May 22, and we'll let you know once Behemoth! is slotted on the cinematic calendar too.

Keke Palmer says moms shouldn't feel guilty for working 'in this economy'
Keke Palmer doesn't think that working moms should feel mom guilt — especially not in this economy. "But the reality is, if you got to work, you got to work," she said. She also said working moms shouldn't feel guilty accepting help with childcare "because it takes a village." Keke Palmer has no time for mom guilt — especially not in this economy. In an interview with Parents published on Wednesday, the actor spoke about the realities of being a single working mom. Palmer has one son, Leodis "Leo" Andrellton Jackson, with her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson. "Don't feel guilt," Palmer said. "Your child is your child because you were meant to be their parent. And as a working parent, it could be really, really hard because you're wondering like, 'Damn, is this good for me and my child?' But the reality is, if you got to work, you got to work." The Emmy award-winning actor also said that mothers shouldn't feel guilty about receiving help from others when it comes to caring for their child "because it takes a village." "I think that's important, and especially in this economy where everybody's got to go to work," she said. In addition to acting, Palmer has hosted the NBC game show "Password" since 2022 and leads her own podcast, "Baby, This is Keke." In June, she also released her latest album, "Just Keke." Even with a packed schedule, Palmer says motherhood gives her the perspective she needs to keep going. "I think a lot of times you can feel like you got to do this, or you got to do that," Palmer said, adding that it can be especially challenging in the industry she works in. "But when you have a child that needs you, it's easier for you to prioritize what is best for your sense of self." Palmer isn't the only celebrity mom who has spoken about mom guilt and the struggles of juggling work and parenting. In August 2024, Blake Lively said she feels guilty whenever she has to choose between work and family commitments. "When you're working, sometimes you feel guilty for, you know, not being in your personal life in those hours you're at work," Lively said. "And then when you're at work, you feel guilty by being distracted by wishing that you were at your personal life." In May, Michelle Williams said that balancing her career and motherhood is like figuring out "which master you're going to serve." "Because the truth is, if work is going well, somebody else is taking care of the kids. And if you're in a high point with your kids, the work is shoved to the side," Williams said. A representative for Palmer did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.

Lucy Guo Snaps Up $30 Million L.A. Mansion—Weeks After Becoming the World's Youngest Self-Made Woman Billionaire
Tech mogul Lucy Guo, the world's youngest self-made woman billionaire, has invested a sizable portion of her enormous wealth into a sprawling new $30 million mansion in Los Angeles' iconic Bird Streets neighborhood. The 30-year-old, who is a native of California, secured quite the impressive deal on the home, which was completed in 2024, when it first hit the market for $43 million. Perched on a hillside that overlooks the Sunset Strip, the home is the epitome of modern luxury, having been outfitted with a wide array of very high-tech amenities, including motorized glass walls that retract to open up the home to the stunning exterior, "drought-tolerant landscaping," and climate-controlled wine rooms. The home also features a top-of-the-line smart system, as well as an eco-conscious solar system to ensure that residents can enjoy an extraordinary level of comfort even in the event of a disaster. Guo, who founded the social media company Passes, has not yet commented on her purchase of the extraordinary property—which was listed by Ginger Glass and Craig Lotzof of Compass and was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal. Records show that Guo was represented by socialite Paris Hilton's brother, Barron Hilton, and his wife, Tessa Hilton, in the deal, which comes 18 months after the home was first put on the market. "Designed by the iconic Vantage Design Group, this architectural marvel of concrete and steel is a showpiece of style, sophistication, and luxury," the listing stated. "Offering breathtaking panoramic views, this estate is a seamless blend of cutting-edge design, opulent indoor-outdoor living, and top-tier amenities, including two elevators." As well as the top-of-the-line tech, the property also features five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and several open-plan living spaces, including a "high-tech family and media room" that boasts a bar and an immersive LED media wall. The choice to invest in a home with such impressive tech integration will come as no surprise to those familiar with Guo's impressive résumé, which saw her launching a career in the industry at the tender age of 21. Guo, who splits her time between Los Angeles—where her AI platform, Passes, is based—and Miami—where she purchased her first home in late 2021, first began drawing interest from the tech world in 2016, when she co-founded the artificial intelligence company Scale AI alongside Alexandr Wang. Though Guo left the company in 2018 over a "difference of opinion" with Wang, she retained the majority of her stake in the startup, a stake that is now worth a veritable fortune thanks to Scale AI's new valuation. Guo also made plenty of money since leaving the company, after launching her own company, Passes, in 2022, only to snap up a jaw-dropping $50 million from investors in the first two years alone. Her holding in Passes, combined with her "other assets," leave her with a net worth of $1.25 billion, according to Forbes—a fortune that saw her overtake pop star Taylor Swift as the world's youngest self-made woman billionaire in June of this year. While amassing that impressive fortune, Guo has also built up an impressive bicoastal property portfolio, with homes in Florida and Los Angeles—albeit both pale in comparison to her latest acquisition. Guo picked up her Miami abode in 2021 for $6.7 million. The condo sprawls across 4,727 square feet and comes with four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The luxury building features a two-car garage, an indoor resort-style pool, a fitness center, a movie theater, a rooftop helipad, and views of the beach and Miami's skyline. The tower was designed by Zaha Hadid and left Guo in awe in 2021. At the time of purchase, she took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to gush: 'I am so *beyond* excited to close on my Miami home today ... haven't had an address in years. What a work of art #zahahadid." Three years later, she snapped up the keys to a stunning five-bedroom, six-bathroom modern farmhouse in Los Angeles. She purchased the property in 2024 for $4.2 million. The abode, which was built in 2018, sprawls across 4,643 square feet and comes with a two-car garage and a pool. It offers several cozy fireplaces, French doors, a bar, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with dual vanities and a soaking tub. Outside, there is a courtyard covered in lush greenery, a lounging space, and access to a rooftop deck. It's unclear whether Guo will hold on to this home now that she's made a new property purchase in the city, or whether she will opt to put it on the market. Guo is extremely proud of her growing property portfolio, having told Fortune in 2023, "I have a swanky apartment in Miami and a house in L.A. which is five minutes away from my office." When it comes to commuting to work, Guo opts for "an electric skateboard" or is driven by her "assistant." And it comes as no surprise that she has risen to the top of the tech world because she works so hard, she tends to eat at her desk, and only orders food from Uber Eats. Guo also confessed that she never takes a "real vacation" due to how demanding her job is. "I've never really had a real vacation. Even when I'm on vacation, I'm working at least eight hours per day," she said. When she isn't working or lounging around one of her chic properties, she can be spotted getting her sweat on at Barry's Bootcamp, a workout class she attends twice a day. The remainder of her little free time is spent dancing at music festivals like Coachella, which she attended in April after spending two weeks learning how to DJ. Forbes unveiled its 10th Anniversary List of America's Richest Self-Made Women on June 4, revealing the 100 women who have amassed an eye-watering fortune through their work in tech, entertainment, and manufacturing. The co-founder of ABC Supply, Diane Hendricks, garnered the No. 1 spot for the country's richest self-made millionaire for the eighth year in a row, with a net worth of $22.3 billion. Other notable names include , who boasts a $3.1 billion net worth and is 13th on the list, and , who has a $1.7 billion net worth and comes in at 19th. Meanwhile, Swift—who previously held the youngest self-made billionaire role—is ranked 21st and has a net worth of $1.6 billion. Solve the daily Crossword
