New Star Wars Film The Mandalorian and Grogu Confirms Icon of Cinema as Surprise Cast Member Following New Trailer

Martin Scorsese voices a unique four-armed shopkeeper in the upcoming Star Wars film continuing The Mandalorian series, set to premiere May 22.

  • On Tuesday, the trailer revealed Martin Scorsese appears in The Mandalorian and Grogu, voicing a four-armed Ardennian shop owner who interacts with Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin.
  • Jon Favreau, director, co-wrote the film with Dave Filoni, Lucasfilm CEO, continuing The Mandalorian, which ended in 2023, while Martin Scorsese, director and actor, has over 50 directing credits and prior voice roles.
  • In the crowded market scene, the four-armed Ardennian shopkeeper retorts in his New York drawl after Din Djarin says `I'm looking for a Hutt` and places a glinting coin, while footage shows Din duking it out with Rotta voiced by Jeremy Allen White.
  • Pascal's Din vows to burn through `gangsters` and `war criminals`, while Sigourney Weaver's fighter pilot stresses the mission `isn't about revenge` but `preventing another war`.
  • Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu premieres in theaters on May 22, marking a theatrical continuation later this year as the New Republic protects the Rebellion's gains with Din Djarin and Grogu.
