During the Super Bowl, audiences caught a glimpse of the upcoming adventure in a commercial spot teasing The Mandalorian and Grogu, heightening anticipation for the franchise's next chapter. Now, Lucasfilm has released the official trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu on the Star Wars YouTube channel, showcasing Pedro Pascal reprising his role as the armored bounty hunter Din Djarin alongside his young companion Grogu in their first feature film outing.
Directed by Jon Favreau, who created the acclaimed Disney+ series The Mandalorian and serves as a key architect of the current Star Wars storytelling era, the movie expands the beloved duo's journey into a cinematic spectacle. The trailer highlights the post-Empire galaxy, where the once-dominant Empire has fallen, but remnants of Imperial warlords continue to threaten stability. The fledgling New Republic struggles to maintain order and protect the hard-won gains of the Rebellion. In this turbulent landscape, they enlist the help of the legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his apprentice Grogu, transforming their bond from a protective partnership into a high-stakes mission across the stars.
The footage offers glimpses of familiar elements elevated for the big screen, including Din Djarin's signature beskar armor, Grogu's Force abilities, and their unbreakable connection. New scenes introduce a variety of galactic inhabitants, such as Hutts and other alien species, as well as appearances from characters like a Kyuzo bounty hunter, an Ardennian fry cook, diminutive Anzellans, and even Zeb Orrelios now serving with the New Republic. The trailer teases intense action sequences, dramatic confrontations, and moments that underscore the evolving dynamic between Din and Grogu—now framed as master and apprentice rather than guardian and charge. Pedro Pascal's portrayal of Din Djarin remains central, with the character seen unmasked in certain shots, hinting at deeper personal stakes in the story ahead.
Joining Pascal in the cast is Sigourney Weaver in a new role, alongside Jeremy Allen White, adding fresh talent to the Star Wars universe. The film is produced by Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce, with music once again composed by Ludwig Göransson, whose scores have become synonymous with the series' epic tone. Co-written by Favreau and Filoni, The Mandalorian and Grogu builds directly on the events and relationships established in the television series, while delivering a self-contained adventure designed for theatrical immersion, including premium formats like IMAX.
A new poster for The Mandalorian and Grogu has also been revealed:
Favreau has emphasized the shift from small-screen storytelling to the cinema experience, noting the opportunity to amplify the scope, practical effects, and visual grandeur that Star Wars fans expect from a feature film. The trailer captures this ambition, presenting sweeping vistas, intense combat, and the signature blend of Western-inspired grit and space opera wonder that defined the original series.
The Mandalorian and Grogu is scheduled to open exclusively in theaters, including IMAX, on May 22, 2026.
