Disney+The Mandalorian & Grogu release window: When will the film come out?
The Mandalorian & Grogu film will release May 22, 2026. This window was locked in by Disney CEO Bob Iger himself in early 2024.
This will officially be the next Star Wars film to hit cinemas around the world, releasing ahead of the many other big-budget projects in the works.
The Mandalorian & Grogu will be the first big-screen Star Wars project since 2019’s Star Wars: Episode IX—The Rise of Skywalker. It will also be the first to release in the traditional May release window since 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Most of the relaunched Disney Star Wars films were released in the holiday season following the success of The Force Awakens.
Currently, the movie is set to take place within the New Republic era, specifically around 10-11 ABY, around 22 years before the events of The Force Awakens.
Cast and crew for The Mandalorian & Grogu movie
At the time of writing, it is unclear if Pedro Pascal will return as Mando for the upcoming film, though it certainly wouldn’t be a fitting Madno flick without him. As well as this, the supporting cast is yet to be confirmed or revealed.
However, one thing we can confirm is that Iron Man director Jon Favreau will be directing the movie. Something that fans are happy to hear despite mixed reception to the idea of a Mando & Grogu movie.
“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” said Favreau. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.”
“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,” added Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.
