Emmy-winning "The Bear" star Jeremy Allen White has joined Disney's upcoming "Star Wars" film "The Mandalorian & Grogu". The actor will voice Jabba the Hutt's son, Rotta the Hutt, and it will be a major role, not a cameo. This will be the first movie in the space opera franchise since 2019's "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker".
Other plot details are not currently available. The film is directed by "The Mandalorian" creator Jon Favreau from a script he wrote alongside Dave Filoni ("Ahsoka", "Star Wars: The Clone Wars"). Pedro Pascal will reprise the role of Mando, and Sigourney Weaver is also attached to star in an undisclosed role.
The first footage from the film was presented by Favreau and Filoni at D23 in August and it teased the return of Babu Frick and a Hoth-like snowy planet with AT-ATs stomping around. Also starring is Zeb from the animated series "Star Wars: Rebels". "The Mandalorian & Grogu" hits theaters on May 22, 2026.
White is currently shooting the Bruce Springsteen biopic "Deliver Me From Nowhere" with writer-director Scott Cooper.
