The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is one of the most anticipated upcoming projects in the Star Wars franchise, following the worldwide success of Disney Plus hit show The Mandalorian. We can't wait to see Grogu on the big screen!
Details about the plot and the full cast are still under wraps, but some early footage from the movie was revealed at D23 2024 with very exciting reactions (we tell you more about it below). With the release date confirmed, The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is finally shaping up and heading to our screens to offer a new Star Wars adventure with our favorite father/son duo.
In case you need a brief recap, The Mandalorian season 3 ended with Mando and Baby Yoda settling down together on Nevarro. It felt like that might be it for the pair, but the announcement of the movie made clear that we haven't seen the last of them just yet. The Mandalorian series creator Jon Favreau is directing the new movie, while Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni is producing along with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.
What challenges will Mando and Grogu face in their new journey? Which characters, from Ahsoka to Bo-Katan Kryze, are set to make an appearance? How will the story connect to the wider Star Wars universe?
Here is everything we know about The Mandalorian & Grogu movie so far. 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.
