The Mandalorian star Brendan Wayne has revealed the Mandalorian & Grogu production window for the upcoming Star Wars movie.
Speaking with The Chatooine Show, Wayne — who is a body double for Pedro Pascal’s titular character — noted that he recalls director Jon Favreau stating that The Mandalorian & Grogu will be entering production in June.
“From what I heard, that’s what I keep reading everywhere, it’s in June,” Wayne stated (via ScreenRant). “I think Jon [Favreau] said June.”
When asked if the script for the movie was written, the actor explained that Favreau would never “do something half-assed” and that Star Wars matters a great deal to him.
“They couldn’t have greenlit something without a script … I will tell you, honestly, like Jon [Favreau] would never do that. I understand production, like the studio, being like, ‘Hey, you’re doing a movie, not doing Season 4?’ If that’s how it occurred. That’s fair, because it’s in their best interest. They make more money off a movie, it’s not even close. It’s not even close! But Jon loves and honors everything he does , but specifically Star Wars, because for him, it means something beyond this moment. He would never do something half-assed. It matters too much to him. And [Dave] Filoni would never let it happen.”
It was also recently reported that The Mandalorian & Grogu is likely to come out in 2026, meaning the film is likely still a ways off.
What is The Mandalorian about?
“The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars galaxy continue. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu,” says the synopsis for Season 3. “Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.”
