Overview

• The Mandalorian & Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal with Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White, is slated for theatrical release on May 22, 2026.
• An official synopsis shown at Disney’s Shanghai marketing expo describes Grogu as “the Force’s heir in the galaxy” and tees up a broad Grogu-branded merchandise rollout across categories.
• Coverage notes the Shanghai post with that language was later removed, though multiple outlets captured the text and the merchandising announcement.
• The feature continues the story from the Disney+ series after plans for a fourth season were redirected into a film, with post‑production now underway.
• Lucasfilm has also confirmed Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter for May 2027, while industry reports say Taika Waititi’s film was shelved and Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron returned to development.
