Are we finally gonna start having Din without his helmet more in S3?

Cause it kinda seemed at the end of S2 he didn't mind his helmet being off infront of everyone there, and it would make sense if he started feeling more comfortable and thinking more like Bo Katan's way of being a Mandalorian.

Also its always seemed dumb to me to have an actor the caliber of Pedro Pascal and you always have his face covered and we can't even see his facial expressions. Just please in S3 do away with him never taking his helmet off, he can wear it when he's in battle but start having him go without when he's not in battle. He's already taken it off 3 different times now infront of people, him wearing it all the time kinda seems pointless, he's already broken his Code or whatever he can't go back.

I think i heard Pedro complained and wanted to take his helmet off more in S2, so hopefully they write it where Din slowly starts being more ok with not wearing his helmet all the time in S3.

Well he learned this season that he'd been raised by a fringe group with much stricter rules than most Mandalorians follow. Also, according to the old creed once he's taken his helmet off in the presence of others he can never put it on again, so he's already more or less out of the club (unless he lies about it, which I don't think he will).

The only advantage to never taking it off is that no one had a picture of his face. Of course he's the only Mandalorian we've seen in brand spanking new pure beskar armor - we're given the impression his suit costs a fortune - so he wasn't hard for bounty hunters and others who might be looking for him to spot.

A fan on another forum said that Pascal had said that Mando was not going to take his helmet off infrequently, for what that's worth.

So he's broken the rules of his old peer group and can't go back to them, because he needs to wear his damn helmet to keep his head from being blown off if he's going to keep bounty hunting or soldiering, and here he's taken it off in front of dozens of people. But frankly, the habit of wearing the thing has got to be strong, and it's useful habit if he's going to be working in fields where people regularly try to blast his head off.
