Sigourney Weaver is bringing her legendary screen presence to the Star Wars universe. In a recent interview with GamesRadar+, the veteran actress teased her role in the upcoming film The Mandalorian & Grogu, revealing that she plays a character “in a position of authority” who sends Din Djarin on a mission to the Outer Rim.
Weaver’s involvement has been a major point of speculation since she confirmed her casting in August 2024. While she remained tight-lipped on specific details, she did reveal one major perk of the role—sharing scenes with Grogu. “He’s a little badass too,” she said, hinting that fans will get to see how much the beloved character has grown.
Directed by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian & Grogu marks the first big-screen adventure for Din Djarin and his Force-sensitive companion, continuing their story from the hit Disney+ series. Production wrapped in October 2024, and the film is set for a May 2026 release. Also joining the cast is The Bear star Jeremy Allen White, who will voice Rotta the Hutt.
Fans are speculating that Weaver’s character may fill the leadership void left by Carl Weathers’ Greef Karga following the actor’s passing. Whether she’s a New Republic official or another key figure in the galaxy, Weaver’s commanding presence is sure to leave an impact. With more reveals expected as the release approaches, anticipation for The Mandalorian & Grogu continues to build.
