After three seasons on streaming, Pedro Pascal’s bounty hounter and “Baby Yoda” will become franchise’s first feature film in nearly seven years
The Mandalorian & Grogu will make the jump from streaming to the big screen on May 22, 2026, Disney has revealed.
After three — or four, if you count The Book of Boba Fett — seasons on Disney+, the company officially announced Friday that the Star Wars spinoff series will hit multiplexes in just over two years; by the time its released, nearly seven years will have lapsed since the franchise’s last film, 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.
The Mandalorian & Grogu — which continues the adventures of the bounty hunter (played by a mostly masked Pedro Pascal) and “Baby Yoda” — will begin production in 2024. The film will be directed by Jon Favreau, who created the series and has written the majority of its episodes; Favreau also helmed the first episode of The Mandalorian’s second season.
“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” Favreau previously said in a statement. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.”
While the Star Wars franchise also has films from directors Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and James Mangold in the works, Disney did not outline a release plan for those movies, nor for the rumored film where Donald Glover will reprise the role of Lando Calrissian. Instead, Disney set Toy Story 5 for June 2026 and pushed their live-action Moana film to July 2026, Variety reports.
Star Wars will return to the small-screen in June 2024 when the spinoff series The Acolyte arrives on Disney+.
