Pedro Pascal is bringing his Star Wars character to the big screen.
The Mandalorian star is set to reprise his role as Din Djarin (a.k.a. “Mando”) in the brand new movie The Mandalorian & Grogu. The film, which will also see the return of the adorable Jedi Grogu (a.k.a. “Baby Yoda”), will pick up with the duo after the events of The Mandalorian season 3.

The series, which wrapped its third season in 2023, also starred Carl Weathers as Greef Karga, Gina Carano as Cara Dune, Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon, Amy Sedaris as Peli Motto, Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze, Timothy Olyphant as Cobb Vanth and Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano. Mark Hamill even made a brief season 2 cameo as his iconic Star Wars character Luke Skywalker.
