A MAJOR ADDITION TO THE CAST

Weaver's role has not yet been disclosed, but sources close to Lucasfilm say she will play a key character pivotal to the story's central conflict. Her casting signals that the studio is aiming to elevate the scope of the Mandalorian universe as it transitions from Disney+ series to theatrical feature.

For fans, the addition of Weaver is particularly exciting given her legacy in science fiction. From Alien to Avatar, she has defined strong and complex characters in genre-defining franchises. Pairing her with Pascal—who has become one of the most recognizable faces in modern pop culture thanks to The Mandalorian and The Last of Us—creates a star-powered duo that will likely boost anticipation for the film.
