We met at a party. I told him that, and he was like, \u201cI have something I want to talk to you about. Can I call you?\u201d It was the next day and he was talking about \u201cMandalorian,\u201d and I said, \u201cIt\u2019s a great show. You do a great job. I\u2019d known Pedro Pascal for a little bit, and he\u2019s great and has fun on it and he loves you.\u201d He was like, \u201cI want you to be in it.\u201d Fantastic, of course. And then he started explaining it and started talking about Rotta. I\u2019d never done voice work. There isn\u2019t any stop-motion work or anything physical like that. I was excited about doing a job that is in this world of \u201cStar Wars,\u201d a world that I have admired for a very long time. I was also excited about doing the movie that my daughters [Ezer, 7, and Dolores, 4, whom he shares with his ex-wife Addison Timlin] can go and see.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload blur-up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/G6tPBs8XkAAqMjA\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Jon Favreau is set to direct and produce the feature spin-off, with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy and chief creative officer Dave Filoni also serving as producers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,&#8221; Favreau said of directing his first Star Wars movie in a previous statement. &#8220;The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Kennedy added, &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pedro Pascal will return as Din Djarin, but\u00a0the extent of his involvement (he may only voice the character for the majority of his scenes) in unclear, as he was\u00a0busy shooting Marvel Studios&#8217; The Fantastic Four: First Steps when the Star Wars movie was filming.<\/p>\n<p>Alien icon Sigourney Weaver is also on board as Ward, a colonel and leader of the New Republic&#8217;s Adelphi Rangers who previously served as a pilot for the Rebel Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>The Clone Wars bounty hunter, Embo, is rumored to be the main villain, but this has yet to be confirmed (he didn&#8217;t show up in the first teaser).<\/p>\n<p>The Mandalorian &amp; Grogu is set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new international poster for The Mandalorian and Grogu has been released, giving us another look at Din&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":285962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,116405,116404,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-285961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-featuring-new-artwork-of-din-djarin-and-his-force-sensitive-sidekick","tag-lucasfilm-has-released-a-new-international-poster-for-jon-favreaus-the-mandalorian-and-grogu","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
