The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is so far pretty mysterious, but some footage from the movie has finally been revealed (more on that below), and it's shaping up to be another fun Star Wars adventure with our favorite father/son duo.
In The Mandalorian season 3, Mando and Baby Yoda settled down together on Nevarro. It looked like that might be it for the spacefaring duo, but the pair are now starring in their very own feature film. Just what kind of journey they're embarking on is an unknown for now, but there is still some information out there to keep us busy while we wait for more updates.
Series creator Jon Favreau will direct the new movie, while Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni is producing, along with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. For everything else there is to know about The Mandalorian & Grogu, head to the below. This is the Way!
The Mandalorian & Grogu release date
The Mandalorian & Grogu movie is set to be released on May 22, 2026.
It will be the first new Star Wars movie since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, and will be followed by the likes of Dave Filoni's film, the Rey movie, and James Mangold's film about the origins of the Force.
The Mandalorian & Grogu trailer: when will we get one?
There's no trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu movie just yet, and, with the film not set to release for a long while, it's unlikely we'll be seeing one anytime soon. Instead, expect to see a full trailer for the film much closer to the time – but a teaser could potentially land at Star Wars Celebration 2025.
At D23 2024, though, some footage was screened to the lucky people in attendance. It showed Grogu as Din Djarin's bounty hunter apprentice, with the little green guy hanging out with some Babu Friks (AKA Anzellans). It also featured the return of the Razor Crest and Zeb Orrelios, and there was a snowy planet which could well be Hoth.
The Mandalorian & Grogu cast
So far, there are no confirmed cast members for The Mandalorian & Grogu. Sigourney Weaver is reported to be part of the line-up, though, but that's unconfirmed for now – and it's unclear who she'd be playing.
We can probably expect Pedro Pascal to return as Mando, but beyond that, it's unclear just who we'll be seeing in the movie. The likes of Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze and Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano could make cameos, as could Amy Sedaris's Peli Motto, and Emily Swallow's Armorer.
The Mandalorian & Grogu plot speculation
Nothing has been revealed about The Mandalorian & Grogu plot just yet. The Mandalorian season 3 finale saw Din Djarin formally adopt Baby Yoda as his own, and the duo settled on Nevarro together. The stage seems set for more standalone adventures, but with the Ahsoka show returning Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger to the main galaxy, Mando & Grogu could have big fish to fry.
Plus, though Giancarlo Esposito's Moff Gideon was killed in the finale, there are some compelling theories that he could also return via clone-related shenanigans. It all remains to be seen for now.
Will there be a Mandalorian season 4?
At the moment, it's unclear whether there will be a The Mandalorian season 4 or not. At first, it was reportedly still happening in addition to the movie, but another report soon cast doubt on that.
Per a newsletter from The Hollywood Reporter, before the strikes shut down Hollywood last year, season 4 was written and ready to go (as Jon Favreau himself said back in February 2023). But, when Hollywood came to a standstill, Lucasfilm pivoted to a movie – leaving season 4's future in doubt.
But, one of Din Djarin's physical performers, Brendan Wayne, said in November 2023 that the fourth season was being "ramped up." Whether he meant the movie or not is unclear for now.
