The Mandalorian Season 2 Still
A new Star Wars movie, ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’, will begin filming in June this year and be released in 2026. The Mandalorian and Grogu are originally the main characters of the Disney+ original series ‘The Mandalorian’. Disney confirmed the production of a movie featuring them as the main characters, driven by the popularity of the series.
The lead actor Pedro Pascal will return as ‘Din Djarin’, often called ‘The Mandalorian’. Jon Favreau, who was in charge of the production of the Mandalorian TV series, will direct this film. Jon Favreau is also the director of Iron Man (2008), which marked the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Mandalorian is considered a series that lowered the entry barrier to the Star Wars franchise. It is set in the same universe as Star Wars, but the main character doesn't know much about the events that happened in the 11 movies, and in fact, he didn't care much either. Instead, he meets a cute green baby, goes on various adventures with the baby, and grows up together. The cute alien baby and the taciturn but affectionate bounty hunter have now become characters as iconic as any other Star Wars protagonist.
The specific story of this movie is not yet known. However, there are some hints in the Mandalorian season 3, which was released in the first half of last year.
In the final episode of season 3, Din Djarin adopted Grogu as his son. Din Djarin embarked on an adventure with Grogu to train him to become an official Mandalorian. And Din Djarin proposed to the new galactic government, ‘Galactic Republic’, that he would hunt down remnants of the Galactic Empire in exchange for child support.
Therefore, this film could be a story about The Mandalorian and Grogu tracking down the remnants of the Galactic Empire. However, Disney has said that the production of The Mandalorian season 4 is also underway. It remains to be seen whether this story will continue in the series or in the movie.
Meanwhile, a Star Wars movie starring Daisy Ridley is also in production. This film will follow the events of ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’, released in 2019, and will feature the return of Rey, the protagonist of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
