- The Mandalorian and Grogu has an official first-look trailer
- It teases some huge additions such as Rotta the Hutt, Sigourney Weaver’s new role, and Babu Frik
- The movie arrives in cinemas on May 22, 2026
Disney has released the first trailer for one of the most anticipated new movies, The Mandalorian and Grogu, today (September 22), and there’s plenty for fans to look forward to when it lands in theaters in 2026.
Recently, it was reported that The Bear actor Jeremy Allen White was cast as the son of intergalactic crime boss Jabba the Hutt, and the trailer gives us a very quick first look at him.
Elsewhere, Sigourney Weaver’s mysterious role has been revealed as fighter pilot Colonel Ward, and The Rise of Skywalker‘s best creature, Babu Frik, makes an appearance too. That’s a lot to pack into a 1-minute and 30 seconds long trailer, and it certainly kept my interest.
Take a look at the long-awaited trailer below.
What do we know about The Mandalorian and Grogu?
The Mandalorian and Grogu will have a theatrical release on May 22, 2026.
At some point, we should expect to see it on Disney+, though it’s far too early for it to potentially make it onto our best Disney+ movies round-up, so those wanting to watch on streaming will have to be patient.
Recently, the movie was featured among the 5 big Disney announcements at D23 Expo 2025, where fans were treated to an exclusive clip. We do know more about the movie now, though, including a plot.
In a press release, Lucasfilm has teased that, “The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu (as himself).”
Ever since The Mandalorian season 3 came to an end, I’ve really missed this duo, and I’m excited to reunite with them next year.
