“The Mandalorian & Grogu” is directed by Jon Favreau
The working title so far is “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” and production will start later this year.
The film is directed by Jon Favreau, who also directed “The Mandalorian”. “I loved telling stories from the rich world of George Lucas,” Favreau said when announcing the new project. “The prospect of bringing The Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the cinema is very exciting.”
Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, who were also involved in the original, are also producing the film. A start date is not yet known. There is also no information about the cast.
In the series, the titular character is played by Pedro Pascal. “The Mandalorian” started its third season almost a year ago. What will happen next with the series is still unclear.
