Sigourney Weaver joins Pedro Pascal in 'Mandalorian and Grogu'

  • Lucasfilm announced the Star Wars movie The Mandalorian and Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau, set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026.
  • The film follows Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his apprentice Grogu, recruited by the New Republic to hunt scattered Imperial warlords after the Empire's fall.
  • The cast features Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, Grogu, Sigourney Weaver portraying New Republic pilot Colonel Ward, and Jeremy Allen White lending his voice to Rotta, Jabba the Hutt’s son.
  • The first trailer released on Monday shows intense action such as blowing up AT-ATs, gladiatorial combat, and interactions with Weaver’s character, while the nine-second teaser offers limited plot details.
  • This film is the first Star Wars movie to hit theaters following the 2019 release of The Rise of Skywalker and is designed to be accessible to audiences without requiring viewers to have seen the three seasons of The Mandalorian.
