Despite a theatrical release that is still far, far away, the film The Mandalorian remembers us fondly with this very exciting news.
The film adaptation of the event series The Mandalorian will indeed be entitled to a galactic cast. In addition to Pedro Pascal and Katee Sackhoff, another renowned actress could also join the adventure. And as a bonus, she is a true specialist in science fiction works.
A The Mandalorian film that looks promising
While awaiting news of a potential fourth season, fans of The Mandalorian have plenty to look forward to regarding the film for now. According to TheInSneider, the iconic actress Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Avatar) is in discussions to join the cast. Suffice to say that she knows a thing or two about acting in science fiction films. Unfortunately, this is all we know about it at the moment. Difficult for the moment to determine whether she will be there to help Din Djarin and Grogu, or be an antagonist. In any case, she will support the equally iconic Katee Sackhoff (BattleStar Galactica), who will take over the role of Bo Katan, regarding the female casting.
Remember that the film The Mandalorian is, like the series, headed in particular by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. They have repeatedly proven their ability to tell interesting stories within the vast Star Wars universe. This film based on the flagship Disney+ series is also special on another point. This is indeed the first film inspired by the works of George Lucas under the aegis of Disney since the controversial Rise of the Skywalker released in 2019.
A certain amount of beskar-tempered pressure therefore rests on the shoulders of The Mandalorian film. However, we can bet that Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and Kathee Sackhoff will satisfy the fans. The addition of Sigourney Weaver to the cast would be another good reason for fans to keep a close eye on this. In any case, the film should begin filming next year, for a cinema release scheduled a priori for May 20, 2026.
