There are big stars and then there is Big stars. Count Pedro Pascal under both groups. The “Load of us”, “Eddington”, “Materialists” and “Fantastic Four: The First Streets” have already enjoyed a very busy 2025 (with more of course), but even the most committed of his fans may not recognize that he will bring out another new publication this month: a planetarium film.
Pascal tells “Encounters in the Milky Way”, the seventh space show of the Hayden Planetarium, which can be seen in the New Yorker American Museum of Natural History from next week. There is still no word which other museums could licens the film, but the breathtaking new 25-minute offer will indeed be available to other institutions who want to share the new look in our own galaxy.

Unfortunately, the actor was not present at a press preview event on Tuesday morning in New York City, but his natural gravitas was fully equipped during the performance of the film. The new planetarium feature is invoiced by the audience and the audience in invoices. very Far outside our own home galaxy, with a special focus on the various “encounters” that have shaped the entire universe.
If you rely on a spectacular selection of data from the GAIA mission of the European Space Agency, which was referred to as the “billion-star survey” to “assign the exact positions, distances and movements of almost 2 billion stars in the Milky Way since 2013”, the film brings to our galaxies and beyond.
And Pascal, whose voice -over narrative was actually led by Shawn Levy, brings his own kind of miracle and joy into the excursion while we pull ourselves through the Milky Way, the way out and back to learn more about how the different components of the universe interact. It is a total explosion and it is seriously flying quickly. (And for those who want to be really detailed, the film is full of convincing small space discoveries. If you have never heard of an “Oort -Cloud”, you would like to learn So much more about it.)
Pascal joins a number of big names that previously told room shows, including Neil Degrasse Tyson, Whoopi Goldberg, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Redford and Tom Hanks. And even if you cannot watch the film (which we emphasize every audience), you can get a foretaste of his story in the trailer above. Outstanding stuff.
“Encounters in the Milky Way” will begin on Monday, June 9th in the New York Natural History Museum. Here you can get tickets.
