After years of following Din Djarin and his tiny but powerful ward on Disney+, their story is now being expanded into a full-fledged cinematic adventure.

The film will be directed by Jon Favreau, the very creator who launched The Mandalorian series, and it marks his first return to directing since The Lion King in 2019. Favreau has described this project as not just another Star Wars film, but as a story about parenting, legacy, and the bond between a warrior and a child. He explained that just as earlier generations connected with Luke Skywalker, audiences who are now parents themselves may find a personal reflection in Mando’s struggles and triumphs.
Pedro Pascal is back under the helmet as Din Djarin, while Grogu—better known to most of the world as Baby Yoda—remains at his side. The trailer shows the duo embarking on their most dangerous mission yet. A brand-new Razor Crest, a reunion with fan-favorite characters like Zeb Orrelios, and Grogu tinkering with Anzellan engineers all point to a mix of heartfelt moments and thrilling battles. Audiences also get a glimpse of towering AT-AT walkers crashing down, strange new alien creatures in gladiator arenas, and Grogu using his tiny telescope in classic adorable fashion.
But it’s not just familiar faces. The cast has expanded in some surprising ways. Sigourney Weaver is joining the galaxy as a fighter pilot, while Jeremy Allen White is taking on the heavy role of Rotta the Hutt—yes, Jabba’s son. These additions signal that the film will not only connect to the legacy of the franchise but also push its mythology into fresh territory.
The movie is also notable because it marks the first Star Wars feature since The Rise of Skywalker back in 2019. That film may have divided critics and fans, but it still crossed a billion dollars at the box office, proving just how powerful the Star Wars brand remains. Now, Disney and Lucasfilm are hoping The Mandalorian and Grogu will be the spark that reignites big-screen Star Wars storytelling after years of focusing on streaming.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has emphasized that Star Wars must continue to be generational. By building on the success of the series, this movie is designed to give newcomers an easy entry point while rewarding longtime fans with deeper connections to the saga. In her words, it’s about making sure everyone—old and young alike—can claim a version of Star Wars that feels like their own.
The Mandalorian and Grogu is set for release on May 22, 2026, in IMAX and theaters everywhere. Between Grogu’s charm, Mando’s grit, and an epic blend of nostalgia and spectacle, this looks to be one of the most exciting returns to the galaxy in years.
