Brace yourself for a bold promise: a new Star Wars cinematic chapter starring Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian and his enigmatic Grogu is on the way—and it’s bigger and more action-packed than fans might expect. But here’s where it gets controversial: this is not just a spin-off series expanded universe, it’s a full-length feature that shifts the balance of what many fans assume about Din Djarin’s adventures.
Pedro Pascal returns as the armored hunter Din Djarin, accompanied by Grogu, as they dive into a galaxy still recovering from the end of the Empire. In the aftermath, Imperial warlords linger, and the fledgling New Republic is fighting to uphold the Rebellion’s hard-won gains. The film leans into their unlikely partnership, emphasizing how a lone bounty hunter and a Force-sensitive foundling navigate a landscape rife with danger, intrigue, and new allies.
Directed by Jon Favreau and featuring Pascal in the Mandalorian role, the film also stars Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward and Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Huttlet. A fresh trailer teases the Republic’s evolving efforts, including Zeb Orrelios now serving the New Republic, alongside a diverse cast of alien characters—a Kyuzo bounty hunter, an Ardennian fry cook, and the small but memorable Anzellans. Notably, we glimpse Mando without his helmet, sparking questions about his path ahead.
To accompany the trailer, a brand-new poster spotlights the Clan of Two, underscoring the franchise’s ongoing focus on Din and Grogu’s bond as central to the saga.
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu is produced by Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce, with Ludwig Göransson returning to compose the score. The film was shot in IMAX, signaling a cinematic experience built for large-scale, immersive viewing. It opens exclusively in theaters on May 22, 2026.
