The Mandalorian and Grogu will be the first Star Wars movie adapted from a Disney+ TV show to release in theaters globally. Along with Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian) and Baby Yoda, Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White have joined the star-studded cast.
We are a long way from getting an official trailer, but new footage of The Mandalorian and Grogu was screened today at the SWCJ event. Weaver (in a New Republic attire) was seen handing out a quest to the Mandalorian. Moreover, Jeremy Allen White will portray the role of Rotta, the son of Jabba the Hutt. He is described as a gladiator with a jacked physique who will cross paths with the Mandalorian in the upcoming movie.
The production of the new Star Wars movie is well underway, and we expect to hear more exciting updates in the coming months. Meanwhile, what are your expectations from The Mandalorian and Grogu movie? Let us know in the comments below.
