Ready for some wild Star Wars news? Jeremy Allen White, best known for dishing out Emmy-winning performances in FX’s The Bear, is stepping into the galaxy far, far away. But don’t expect him to wield a lightsaber — he’s reportedly going to voice Rotta the Hutt, the son of the infamous Jabba the Hutt, in the upcoming film The Mandalorian & Grogu.
A Surprising Star Wars Arrival
If you’ve been holding your breath for the big-screen return of Star Wars since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, get ready to exhale. Set for release on May 22, 2026, The Mandalorian & Grogu will continue the adventures of everyone’s favorite tiny green Jedi-in-training. Directed by Jon Favreau, this film promises to push the story forward and bring even more fresh faces to the saga, including the award-winning White as a character who’s anything but human.
Star-Studded Galaxy
White isn’t the only big name joining the Star Wars family. Sigourney Weaver (the legendary star from Alien and Avatar) is also set to appear, finally making her own Star Wars debut. With a lineup like this, it’s hard not to get excited about what’s cooking in the Star Wars kitchen.
