Don't expect to see Grogu or other characters from 'The Mandalorian' on the big screen any time soon, according to Jon Favreau.
Sorry, Star Wars fans! It looks like everyone's favorite foundling won't be making his way to the big screen anytime soon. Speaking with Variety, The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau elaborated on how he and the team he leads with Dave Filoni plan out the future of the franchise and, apparently, a big screen appearance for Din Djarin and Grogu isn't in the cards.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “There’s always an opportunity when you have a set of characters and stories that people connect with that you could cross media into different areas. Marvel does it quite effectively. It’s just a matter of where our time should be spent and what the appetite of the audience is. With all these stories we’re telling, it definitely is a full-time job just keeping this going with what we’re doing now. Television has a much different rhythm and schedule than film does.
The Mandalorian made its debut on Disney+ when the platform launched in November of 2019. The first season of the show told the story of Din Djarin, and how he made the choice to change his careless lifestyle after crossing paths with a young child who happened to be the same species as Jedi Master Yoda. A baby Yoda, if you will. The second season then proceeded to take the iconic pair into a search for a Jedi Master that could teach Grogu the ways of the Force.
The third season of the platform's flagship series will premiere on March 1. In the new installment, Din Djarin will go back to his home planet of Mandalore to ask for forgiveness after taking his helmet off during the second season, breaking his people's code in the process. Giancarlo Esposito, Katee Sackhoff and Carl Weathers are all set to reprise their roles from previous seasons, confirming that Din Djarin will neeed help from all of his friends to face the evil Moff Gideon .
