The Mandalorian & Grogu are embarking on a new adventure—to movie theatres. Directed by Jon Favreau (director of Iron Man, Iron Man 2), and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, this new chapter in the Mandalorian and Grogu’s journey will go into production in 2024.
With The Mandalorian and Grogu, fans favourite, Baby Yoda is going to make his big screen debut. On Tuesday, Lucasfilm and Disney announced that The Mandalorian & Grogu will go into production this year. The release date of the film hasn't been announced, but the announcement is a great piece of news for Star Wars fans who have been waiting for a new film since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.
Reportedly, The Mandalorian & Grogu will be a continuation of the popular Disney+ series. No details about the actors have been revealed yet. In the series, Pedro Pascal has played the masked bounty hunter for three seasons. The Mandalorian & Grogu will be produced by Dave Filoni, alongside Favreau and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.
"I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created. The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting," Favreau shared. Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, added, “Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen.”
The Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate, which includes films helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold and Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2, among those in the works.
