Din Djarin’s success knows no bounds. After sweeping through its three seasons on Disney +, The Mandalorian will make the leap to the big screen with a movie.
The most famous Mandalorian (apologies to Boba Fett) will share the spotlight with Grogu in a movie whose title we also already know, The Mandalorian and Grogu. The film, which will be directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, is expected to go into production this same year, 2024.
Through the official Star Wars website, Jon Favreau has expressed how excited he is about this project: “Bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting“. On the other hand, Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, adds that “this new story fits perfectly on the big screen“.
The brief press release suggests that The Mandalorian and Grogu “will lead the list of feature films in development at Lucasfilm, which includes other films directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni, who is also developing the second season of Ahsoka, among others.”
The premiere of The Mandalorian in 2019 was a huge success and managed to conquer both Star Wars fans and those who were unfamiliar with the saga. “Baby Yoda” became a phenomenon that dominated social media at the time. Although its third season did not stand out as much as the first two, the Mandalorian has emerged as a key piece of the current Star Wars universe.
For now, there aren’t many more details: besides Pedro Pascal, we don’t know who will be part of its cast or when it will arrive in theaters. We’ll have to wait to find out how the story starring Din Djarin and Grogu will continue.
