Sigourney Weaver joins Star Wars universe in The Mandalorian & Grogu, adding star power to highly anticipated project.

Sigourney Weaver has officially confirmed her role in the upcoming Star Wars film, The Mandalorian & Grogu. The legendary sci-fi actress revealed her involvement in the highly anticipated project during an interview with Deadline. “I’m playing a role in The Mandalorian & Grogu,” Weaver stated, adding that she recently met the beloved character Grogu on set.

In addition to her Star Wars role, Weaver also confirmed her continued involvement in James Cameron’s Avatar sequels, including Avatar 3, 4, and 5. “I’m looking forward to it. I can’t say much about it right now but it’s fun to bounce between all these different universes,” she said.

The Mandalorian & Grogu is set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026, with fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the adventures of Mando and his young green companion.
