|Techlife News #726
Sigourney Weaver is joining Pedro Pascal in the upcoming “Mandalorian and Grogu” film, the first Star Wars feature to enter production since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. The casting adds Hollywood weight to the highly anticipated project, which is being directed by Jon Favreau and positioned as the next big-screen chapter in the Star Wars franchise.

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.
THE FIRST STAR WARS MOVIE IN YEARS
