For months, Star Wars<\/em><\/a> fans have speculated whether Pedro Pascal would return in The Mandalorian & Grogu<\/em>, the first feature-length continuation of the hit Disney+ series.<\/p>\n Now, the answer has finally surfaced\u2014straight from one of the film\u2019s biggest stars.<\/p>\n At the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Collider<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Steve Weintraub sat down with Sigourney Weaver to discuss her upcoming project, Dust Bunny<\/em>.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n The conversation unexpectedly shifted toward her latest galaxy-spanning role. Weaver, known worldwide for her iconic sci-fi performances in Alien<\/em> and Avatar<\/em>, is officially part of The Mandalorian & Grogu<\/em>, which hits theaters on May 22, 2026. When asked about how the new film stacks up against other Star Wars<\/em> entries, she didn\u2019t hold back.<\/p>\n \u201cIt won\u2019t be as good as The Mandalorian [and Grogu],<\/em> just letting you know,\u201d Weaver said with a laugh, pointing out that each corner of the franchise occupies its own lane. While Andor<\/em> explored political corruption and authoritarian rule, she made clear that Jon Favreau\u2019s new movie is \u201ca different world.\u201d<\/p>\n Weintraub noted that the show Andor<\/em> is \u201cdealing with deadly serious stuff\u201d while The Mandalorian & Grogu<\/em> is \u201ca fun time at the movies.\u201d<\/p>\n But Weaver didn\u2019t completely agree with his assertion, closing the thought with a tease that sent Star Wars<\/em> fans into overdrive: \u201cWell, let\u2019s see, shall we? I\u2019m sure it will be at least that. And it will have Pedro Pascal.\u201d<\/p>\n That confirmation ends months of uncertainty. Rumors swirled that Pascal, who voices Din Djarin and sometimes appears under the armor, might not be directly involved due to scheduling conflicts. Weaver\u2019s casual reveal now confirms that the actor will indeed be part of the 2026 theatrical release.<\/p>\n Set after the events of the first three seasons of The Mandalorian<\/em>, the movie promises to bring Din Djarin and Grogu to the big screen for the first time. While Lucasfilm has kept the story under wraps, it\u2019s expected to tie into the larger narrative threads laid down across Disney+ series.<\/p>\n <\/a> Aaron Pierre Joins ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ Cast Opposite Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Oscar Isaac Says He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ If There Was ‘Something Good to Do’ With His Character<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Popeyes Diss Track Against McDonald’s Goes Viral\u2014But Not For The Reasons You Think<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Kris Jenner Shuts Down Corey Gamble Breakup Rumors With Boo’ed Up Joint Appearance<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Will Smith Signs Multi-Picture Deal With Paramount Pictures<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
