Disney casts The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White as the son of intergalactic crime boss Jabba the Hut in the The Mandalorian and Grogu

Jeremy Allen White as Carmy in FX's The Bear .

Jeremy Allen White is swapping the kitchen for Tatooine as Disney casts him in the upcoming Star Wars movie The Mandalorian and Grogu. Directed by Jon Favreau and co-written with Lucasfilm creative director Dave Filoni, the movie will bring the characters of one of the best Disney Plus shows - The Mandalorian - to the big screen on May 22, 2026.

Following the success of his role in FX’s The Bear, White will be making his feature franchise debut in The Mandalorian and Grogu as the son of intergalactic crime boss Jabba the Hut. But whether or not he’ll be in human-form or voicing a CGI reptilian-like creature like his father is still in question.
