A brand-new, action-packed trailer has landed for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, giving fans their first cinematic glimpse at the next chapter in the galaxy far, far away.
Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White, the highly anticipated film opens in cinemas on May 22, 2026.
Produced by Lucasfilm, the new big-screen adventure expands the story first introduced in the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian, bringing Din Djarin and Grogu to cinemas for the first time — and filmed for IMAX for an epic theatrical experience.
A New Chapter in the Star Wars Galaxy
Following the fall of the Empire, scattered Imperial warlords continue to threaten stability across the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic fights to protect what the Rebellion sacrificed for, legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu are drawn into a high-stakes new conflict.
The film promises large-scale action, emotional depth, and the cinematic spectacle fans expect from the long-running Star Wars franchise.
Director Jon Favreau — who helped launch the original Disney+ series — reunites with key creative collaborators including producers Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni and Ian Bryce. Award-winning composer Ludwig Göransson also returns to score the film, ensuring the signature Mandalorian sound carries into this theatrical adventure.
Filmed for IMAX: A Must-See Cinematic Event
Unlike the streaming series, The Mandalorian and Grogu has been filmed specifically for IMAX, signalling Lucasfilm’s commitment to delivering a true blockbuster experience. With sweeping galactic battles, new worlds, and the return of fan-favourite characters, this is shaping up to be one of 2026’s biggest cinema releases.
The exclusive theatrical release also marks a significant moment for the Star Wars franchise, as it continues to expand beyond streaming and return to large-scale cinema storytelling.
