Dane,
Was there really such deep creative issues on the set that the lead actually quit or is that just some TMZ overblown shit? Know anything?

The consensus that I've seen so far is that it's just a clickbait rumor from a youtube 'reviewer' (Grace Randolph). Pascal's known since before the show even went into production that he'd rarely show his face, so for him to leave the show halfway through the season because he wanted the helmet off more just sounds a little off...
If he is gone, it might end up being the least impactful recasting in TV history. Because as I understand it he doesn't actually perform in the suit (that's done by John Wayne's grandson, believe it or not), he only does the voiceover. |

I don't have enough information to verify this story although I will say that Pedro Pascal didn't like that John Wayne's grandson was basically his stand-in all throughout Season 1 and wanted a bigger role and input for himself for Season 2. That said, I have a hard time believing that scripts were re-written on set to cut him out of the series or to reduce his role, as it's been their plan all along to explore other worlds and stories with this series, which has already spawned at least one-spin off. |

Also, James Caan revealed this week that there will never be an Elf sequel because Favreau and Will Ferrell did not get along, whatsoever, during the original shoot, which gives even more credence to the notion that Favreau is very difficult on set.
I had a friend that worked on one of the Marvel films earlier this decade and asked "What was it like to work with Favreau?". The first word that came out of his mouth was "Asshole". |

It's an opinion piece from a source I don't know, but it's the strongest take so far against what I've thought was just click bait all along:

It never made sense to me. And the timing is suspect, to say the least. If Pascal had stormed off the set 'halfway through the season' that would have been either late last year or early this year, as filming on the season wrapped before the quarantine began 6+ months ago. And it's just coming out now, on the heels of the trailer and release date announcement? Right.... |

Assuming this rumor is true, in Pascal's defense, it's gotta suck wearing that helmet so much. Perhaps much more than he realized when he signed up for it.
That being said, he's getting paid a shit ton of money to wear it, so he should suck it up and deal with it. |

It’s difficult for me to take this story seriously when I saw and heard the joy in the man’s voice over being in Star Wars, and there’s no doubt they were already filming Season 2 at that point, so this isn’t adding up. Yes, Favreau can be an asshole but he’s not going to jeopardize his own creation. |

I refuse to believe that Chilean Burt Reynolds is an asshole.
