Renowned for her iconic roles battling extraterrestrial threats and colonial forces, Sigourney Weaver may soon add stormtroopers and galactic bounty hunters to her repertoire. In a groundbreaking move, Weaver is in discussions to join the cast of 'The Mandalorian & Grogu,' the highly anticipated Star Wars movie slated to begin production.
'The Mandalorian & Grogu' marks a significant milestone as the first Star Wars film to enter production since the release of 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' in 2019. Helmed by 'The Mandalorian' creator Jon Favreau, this cinematic venture promises to explore uncharted territories within the beloved Star Wars universe.
Set to commence filming later this year, the movie is helmed by Jon Favreau, with backing from Lucasfilm veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni. As anticipation mounts, fans eagerly await this new cinematic installment, poised to expand the rich tapestry of the Star Wars saga.
'The Mandalorian' series, launched in 2019, captivated audiences worldwide, introducing the enigmatic character Grogu, affectionately known as Baby Yoda. Pedro Pascal leads the cast as Din Djarin, the titular Mandalorian, navigating a galaxy teeming with danger and intrigue. With spinoffs like 'The Book of Boba Fett' and 'Ahsoka' already in motion, the Star Wars universe continues to evolve and enthrall audiences.
While Pascal is expected to reprise his role as Din Djarin, scheduling conflicts may impact his involvement, particularly as he gears up to shoot 'The Fantastic Four' for Marvel Studios. Nevertheless, his charismatic portrayal of the Mandalorian ensures fans remain eager for his return, adding further anticipation to Weaver's potential entry into the Star Wars galaxy.
