The Mandalorian & Grogu film is officially in the works, so here is everything we know so far about the upcoming Star Wars movie.
Thanks to the various TV shows that have been released on Disney+ over the past few years, the Star Wars franchise has never been bigger. The likes of Obi-Wan, Andor, and more have once again brought Star Wars back into the forefront of entertainment.
However, one such show that, in some ways, truly kicked off the recent string of success Disney has had with their Star Wars shows is The Mandalorian.
The show, which stars Pedro Pascal as the titular character, follows the journey and stories of a lone fighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic. The show takes place after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order.
Now however, it has been revealed that a Mandalorian and Grogu film is officially in the works. With that being said, here is everything we know about the upcoming project so far.
The Mandalorian & Grogu release predictions: When will the film come out?
Given that the existence of the film was just revealed, fans will likely have to wait a few years before The Mandalorian & Grogu is released. However, we can confirm that it will begin production at some point in 2024.
And with many other Star Wars projects on the way, the film could come out as late as 2026 to fit in with the current timeline of shows and movies in development with Disney.
Currently, the movie is reportedly set to take place within the New Republic era, specifically around 10-11 ABY, around 22 years before the events of The Force Awakens.
Cast and crew for The Mandalorian & Grogu movie
At the time of writing, it is unclear if Pedro Pascal will return as Mando for the upcoming film, though it certainly wouldn’t be a fitting Madno flick without him. As well as this, the supporting cast is yet to be confirmed or revealed.

However, one thing we can confirm is that Iron Man director Jon Favreau will be directing the movie. Something that fans are happy to hear despite mixed reception to the idea of a Mando & Grogu movie.
“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” said Favreau. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.”
“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,” added Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.
Where to watch The Mandalorian & Grogu movie

We can confirm that the movie will be in theatres, however time will tell when it arrives on Disney+.
