Jeremy Allen White recently opened up about his role in the upcoming Star Wars movie The Mandalorian and Grogu, and if he had to do anything in order to develop his voice for his role as a Hutt.
What did Jeremy Allen White say about The Mandalorian and Grogu?
Speaking during a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, White was asked about his role as Rotta the Hutt, the son of Jabba, and whether or not he got to do any fun Hutt noises during his performance.
White joked that he asked if there was any vocal work he needed to do, and did try some Hutt voices, but was told his voice would likely be changed anyway. “I was like, ‘What kind of vocal work do you want me to do?’ and I was doing some stuff, but [Jon Favreau] said ‘We’re gonna mess with it!’
White also said that he hadn’t seen much of the film himself yet, so he’s unsure of exactly how his performance came out just yet.
The Mandalorian and Grogu reunites Star Wars fans with Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin and Grogu, also known as Baby Yoda. The movie is also set to star Sigourney Weaver, Jonny Coyne, White, and many more.
The Mandalorian and Grogu will be the first theatrically released Star Wars movie since 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The only other Star Wars movie that has a release date at this time is Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter, which arrives on May 28, 2027. That film recently started production and will star Ryan Gosling, Aaron Pierre, Amy Adams, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Flynn Gray, and more.
Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives in U.S. theaters on May 22, 2026. The first three seasons of The Mandalorian are currently available to stream on Disney+.
