Fans are getting a fresh glimpse into the highly anticipated theatrical release, “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” with a newly released TV spot and a collection of striking stills. The film, a continuation of the popular Disney+ series, is set to hit cinemas on May 22, 2026, and promises a thrilling new chapter for Din Djarin and his young protégé. The latest preview offers a better look at action sequences, including the exploding AT-AT walker teased in previous trailers, and introduces a new character from the world of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
The upcoming film sees the legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), and Grogu enlisted by the New Republic to address the lingering threat of Imperial warlords following the fall of the Galactic Empire. This cinematic adventure marks a shift for the franchise, prioritizing a theatrical release over a potential fourth season of the Disney+ series, according to reports. The project represents a significant return to the sizeable screen for the Star Wars universe, aiming to deliver an immersive experience for fans.
First Look at Marrok and Explosive Action
The new TV spot, shared widely on social media, showcases several new scenes, including a clearer view of the destruction surrounding the AT-AT walker. Notably, it appears to offer the first look at Marrok, an anooba character previously featured in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” alongside the bounty hunter Embo. The inclusion of characters from across the Star Wars timeline suggests a broadening of the universe within the film.

Pascal to Show More Face in Theatrical Release
In a recent interview with Empire, director Jon Favreau and star Pedro Pascal revealed that audiences will see more of Pascal’s face in “The Mandalorian and Grogu” than in previous installments. Favreau explained that Pascal’s character, Din Djarin, will remove his helmet for reasons that “make perfect sense,” and that Pascal is a “pretty physical performer,” allowing for expanded action sequences. “You’ll see [Pedro] in the armour, both with and without the helmet. He’s a pretty physical performer. So we pushed a little further than we have in the past, as far as what he’s doing, helmet-off,” Favreau stated.
New Stills Offer a Glimpse of the World
Accompanying the TV spot are a series of new stills showcasing various scenes from the film. These images depict snowy landscapes, individuals clad in vintage Stormtrooper armor, and, of course, plenty of shots featuring Grogu. The visuals hint at a diverse range of environments and characters that Din Djarin and Grogu will encounter on their mission.
