Following their adventures in three seasons of the Disney+ show, Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin and Grogu are set to further extend their journey in the highly anticipated film, The Mandalorian & Grogu. Details surrounding the project remain shrouded in secrecy/ However, new updates have suggested that the studio has moved up the filming schedule to May, which was originally slated to start in June 2024.
Disney Reportedly Moved Up Filming Schedule For The Mandalorian & Grogu
Earlier this year, Lucasfilm announced that The Mandalorian and Grogu will continue their next adventure on the big screen in Jon Favreau’s film, which would lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate. The report also stated that the Pedro Pascal starrer would begin filming in June 2024.
However, recent reports are suggesting that the production of the film could commence sooner than expected. Making Star Wars, a YouTube channel, has shared the claim in a recent video, saying, “We might have a Star Wars movie filming in the next couple of days.”
“I talked to two different cats, both believe that filming is actually going on in May,” Making Star Wars shared. However, there is no clear information on a specific date on which the filming would potentially start. The YouTube Channel said,
“In May, there will be filming done. I’m not saying it’s May 1, I’m not saying it’s May 31, but it’s somewhere in there that things will be filmed for that specific movie.”
They also discussed the earlier reports, which claimed that the filming would commence in June. The YouTube Channel suggested that the production could be going smoothly, prompting the filming schedule to be bumped up potentially by a month. Disney, however, has not officially confirmed the reports.
Brendan Wayne Addressed Pedro Pascal’s Involvement in The Mandalorian & Grogu
Pedro Pascal’s character in the Disney+ series is primarily seen in his costume. The actor has shared that there were instances when his stunt doubles Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder embodied the character while he provided his voice to Din Djarin.
This behind-the-scenes revelation and Pascal’s hectic schedule have left many skeptical about his return to the upcoming film. However, his stunt double, Brendan Wayne has assured that The Last of Us star will be returning as Din Djarin in The Mandalorian & Grogu.
As per ScreenRant, he shared,
“Come on. Of course. Everyone’s so busy about it. It’s like, how about we just focus on the movie? It’s silly. Is he busy? Does he have a bunch of projects? Of course. Will they work around his schedule? Yes. It’s no different than Rosario [Dawson of Ahsoka] was.”
Pascal’s packed schedule includes multiple upcoming projects, including the Gladiator sequel and Marvel’s Fantastic Four. Although his return as The Mandalorian hasn’t officially been confirmed, the actor is expected to join forces with Grogu for their adventure on the silver screen.
The Mandalorian is available to stream on Disney+.
The Mandalorian & Grogu is scheduled to be released on May 22, 2026.
