Today, The Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm announced The Mandalorian & Grogu, a new feature film that will go into production in 2024.
Directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni, the movie is a new chapter in the Mandalorian and Grogu’s journey.
“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created. The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting,” Favreau shared.
Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, added, “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.”
The Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate, which includes films helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2, among those in the works.
Three seasons of The Mandalorian have already been released on Disney+. In the third season, once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu.
Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian crosses paths with old allies and makes new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.
