Pedro Pascal isn't just the Mandalorian on screen!

On Saturday, May 16, Pascal, 51, disguised himself as the warrior in head-to-toe armor as he made a surprise appearance at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

A video posted on the official Star Wars X account showed him preparing to greet visitors entering the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run attraction.

“Don't make it too obvious it's me,” said Pascal in the clip, while adjusting his helmet. “I don't think they're gonna hear my welcome, but I'll just be like, what's up?”

The Fantastic Four star is then seen leaning on equipment as he waits for a group of excited visitors to walk toward the ride.

Having been asked to share a message with them, Pascal eventually removes his helmet, causing the group to erupt in gasps and screams.

“Now you all have to die because you've seen my face,” the actor joked to the surprised parkgoers.

"The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy," reads an official synopsis for the movie. "As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu."
