are coming to the big screen,[/url] and before Dave Filoni’s long-anticipated crossover film event. The movie, appropriately titled
The Mandalorian & Grogu, will be helmed by Jon Favreau, who created the Disney+ streaming TV show.</p>
<p>Fans have been speculating why there hasn’t been a renewal announcement regarding a new season of
The Mandalorian, and this could be why. The film’s going into production this year, which is likely when a new season of the show would have been created. Beyond Favreau, the producers include franchise luminaries Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni. There’s no plot synopsis, but Kennedy says the “new story is a perfect fit for the big screen.”</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Director Jon Favreau not only created
The Mandalorian TV show, but kickstarted the entire MCU when he directed a little film called
Iron Man. He also helmed
Elf, Swingers and live-action remakes of
The Lion King and
The Jungle Book.</p>
<p>Disney has offered no information regarding where in the timeline this film would take place, but one assumes it would be set directly following the events of both
The Mandalorian season 3 and the <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="

<p>In a short span of time, we’ve gone from wondering if there would ever be another Star Wars movie to there being, well, a whole bunch of them.
The Mandalorian & Grogu will likely lead to Dave Filoni’s unnamed crossover movie that features characters from across ‘The Mandoverse’, including Ahsoka, Boba Fett, Ezra Bridger, CGI Luke Skywalker and more.</p>
<p>There’s also a movie in the works chronicling the further adventures of Rey, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and a film exploring the origins of the Jedi and Sith directed by James Mangold. On the TV side of things,
Ahsoka has been greenlit for a second season. Before that, however, there’s the Jude Law vehicle
Skeleton Crew and a show set hundreds of years before the Skywalker Saga called
The Acolyte. Star Wars: The Bad Batch is also <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="
