Sigourney Weaver confirms her next role in The Mandalorian & Grogu, marking her entry into the Star Wars universe. The film is set to release in May 2026.
Bollywood Fever: Sigourney Weaver, the legendary actress known for her iconic sci-fi roles in Alien, Avatar, and Ghostbusters, has officially confirmed her next movie project: The Mandalorian & Grogu. This upcoming Star Wars film will bring Weaver into the beloved galaxy far, far away.
In an interview with Deadline, Weaver revealed that The Mandalorian & Grogu is her next movie project. “I got to meet Grogu for the first time the other day,” she shared. “I’m filming that before I go to London for The Tempest at the end of the year.”
While Weaver remained tight-lipped about her character and the nature of her role, she did express excitement about the opportunity. “I can’t say much about it right now but it’s fun to bounce between all these different universes,” she added.
The Mandalorian & Grogu marks the first Star Wars film to hit theaters since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. Directed by Jon Favreau, the film is set to lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate, which includes projects helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni. The movie is scheduled for release on May 22, 2026.
At the D23 Expo earlier this month, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni provided fans with an exciting first look at The Mandalorian & Grogu. Although the film has just begun shooting, initial footage showcased Grogu in his pod and Mando in his full armor, reinforcing their status as a “clan of two.”
While many details about the film remain under wraps, one notable absence will be Boba Fett. Actor Temuera Morrison recently mentioned that the character would not be appearing in The Mandalorian & Grogu, citing the poor reception of The Book of Boba Fett as the reason for his exclusion.
As fans eagerly await more information, the addition of Sigourney Weaver to the Star Wars universe has certainly heightened anticipation for The Mandalorian & Grogu.
