Why did Pedro Pascal turn down that Marvel role?

I haven't seen any credible reporting on Pedro Pascal turning down a Marvel role, so I'd be skeptical of that rumor. It's easy for these stories to spread online without solid sources, and there's a ton of speculation about casting all the time. If you remember where you heard it, checking the original source might help clarify whether it's actually confirmed or just internet gossip.

The best way to verify celebrity casting rumors is to check entertainment trade publications like Variety, Deadline, and The Hollywood Reporter - these outlets have actual sources within studios and talent agencies. If a story hasn't appeared in those places, it's probably either unconfirmed speculation or something someone made up entirely.

I dealt with something similar a few years back when representing a client in the entertainment industry. You'd be shocked how fast false casting stories spread on social media and fan forums. Someone posts "I heard..." on Reddit or Twitter, it gets shared around, and within hours people are discussing it like established fact. The original source is usually nonexistent. With Pedro Pascal specifically, I haven't come across any legitimate reporting about him rejecting a Marvel role, which suggests this particular rumor doesn't have legs. He's been pretty busy with other projects - the Mandalorian work, film roles, etc. - so his schedule is genuinely packed, but that's different from turning down something specific. If Marvel actually offered him a major part, that would be significant enough news that reputable entertainment journalists would have confirmed details by now. The absence of that reporting is pretty telling.
