Production for the upcoming film set to start in 2024.

A new Star Wars film, starring the beloved Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, is set to be directed and produced by Jon Favreau. Tentatively titled The Mandalorian and Grogu, the movie is scheduled to begin production in 2024, expanding the adventure of these iconic characters from the Disney+ series onto the big screen.

Favreau, who created the Mandalorian series, will return to direct and produce alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm president, and Dave Filoni, who will serve as producers. Details of the film’s plot remain under wraps, but the announcement has already stirred excitement among fans of the Star Wars universe.

“I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created,” Favreau shared. “The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting.”

Kathleen Kennedy added, “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.”

This film will be the first Star Wars feature since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, drawing further interest to what is expected to be another thrilling addition to the franchise. It is still unclear whether Pedro Pascal will reprise his role as the Mandalorian, but fans are eagerly awaiting more details about the project.
