New Mandalorian And Grogu Trailer Reportedly Set To Play Before Avatar, Teasing Rotta Reveal

Lucasfilm is sticking to a May 2026 IMAX launch with a theater-first marketing push.

Overview

  • A theater employee claims the new preview has been delivered to cinemas to run with Avatar: Fire and Ash, with an online drop expected beforehand, though this remains unconfirmed.
  • The described cut reportedly opens quietly, includes a brief Din–Grogu moment, and adds new lines from Din about how Grogu should wear his armor.
  • An extended arena sequence is said to spotlight Rotta the Hutt, suggesting a clearer reveal of Jeremy Allen White’s character.
  • Additional footage allegedly shows more action from Zeb Orrelios and no new cameos.
  • Official details remain unchanged: Jon Favreau directs for a May 22, 2026 exclusive theatrical release filmed for IMAX, with Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni and Ian Bryce producing, Ludwig Göransson scoring, and a premise in which the New Republic enlists Din Djarin and Grogu.
