Jon Favreau Addresses THE MANDALORIAN Movie Rumors and Says Season 3 Will Shoot This Year

While Disny+ has yet to officially announce The Mandalorian Season 3, we know that it’s going to happen, and Jon Favreau says that it’s on schedule to start shooting before the end of the year.

Even though I’m excited that we are going to get a third season of The Mandalorian, we still need to experience Season 2, which drops later this month! We need to get through this next chapter of the story before we can even begin to speculate what’s coming in season three!

While talking to Variety, Favreau said, “We’re operating under the assumption that we’ll be able to go forward. We’re in very small situations and oftentimes we have a lot of characters in masks. And we also have a lot of digital work that augments things. So we’re a show that’s probably well-equipped to be flexible based on the protocols that are emerging surrounding work restarting.”

Favreau also addressed rumors of a Mandalorian movie, explaining that he’s open to it, but in no rush to make one:

“But we’re definitely open to it. And excited to see where the story leads us and have that flexibility — because there’s no rulebook now. Technology is always offering new opportunities to tell stories in a fresh way. It’s a very exciting time to be doing this and I feel very grateful that we’re able to be able to work remotely, because of the nature of the technology that we’re dealing with. So we’re continuing to try to move forward and keep the ball rolling, even though it’s been a challenging time for everyone.”

The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal was more enthusiastic about a potential film, saying:

“I think that the work is so beautiful that I would love for that to be held by a big-screen experience. But it seems to work so well that also I’m not sure it’s something that I would want corrupted by any kind of change, you know? I mean, I certainly know that the challenge can be met. It’s not like these people don’t have the experience. If anybody can do it, they can!”

So far I’m happy with how things currently are with The Mandalorian. I wouldn’t complain if we never see the character on the big screen. As long as we get to see the complete story arc for this character play out… I’ll be happy.

The Mandalorian season 2 will premiere on Disney+ on October 30.
