New THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU TV Spot Teases Gangsters, Warlords, and Monsters
A brand-new TV spot for The Mandalorian and Grogu has dropped, and it’s loaded with fresh footage that pushes this Star Wars story into full cinematic mode. With the film just two months away from hitting theaters, this latest look leans hard into action, chaos, and of course, Grogu being irresistibly awesome.
The footage mixes high-stakes combat with lighter character beats, giving fans a taste of the scale this Disney+ series upgrade is going for.
There are explosive battles, icy skirmishes on Hoth, and a whole lot of danger closing in from every corner of the galaxy, and right in the middle of it all is that dynamic duo we’ve been following for years.
Grogu steals several moments in the spot, including one sequence where he leaps onto Din Djarin’s shoulder and taps his helmet to escape an AT-AT that is about to blow up. It’s the kind of playful, character-driven energy that balances out the larger war unfolding around them.
The preview also sneaks in a cool deep cut for longtime fans with the appearance of Marrok, the anooba companion of bounty hunter Embo. The creature hasn’t been seen on screen since its debut in The Clone Wars episode "Bounty" over a decade ago.
Grogu is expected to take on a much more active role this time, especially after Din is captured and unmasked. That development has been a big talking point, especially considering how closely the character has been tied to the Mandalorian creed.
Director Jon Favreau opened up about that challenge, saying: "It’s a tricky thing, because you want to see his face, but the archetype is that of the helmet. How do we find a way to do it without undermining everything that we developed about the Mandalorian Creed?"
Favreau also confirmed that this shift means more on-screen presence from Pedro Pascal, both physically and emotionally:
"You’ll see [Pedro] in the armour, both with and without the helmet. He’s a pretty physical performer. So we pushed a little further than we have in the past, as far as what he’s doing, helmet-off."
For Pascal, the evolution felt right for where Din’s story is headed: "When we got to that part, all I can say is that it made perfect sense, and it was what I was hoping would be the reason,"
"If I were to pitch something, I would say, 'The only thing that makes sense is...' And that’s exactly it. He filled that blank. I said immediately, 'Jon, that’s exactly what I was hoping to hear!'"
The film picks up in a fractured galaxy where the Empire has fallen, but its remnants haven’t disappeared. Imperial warlords are still out there causing trouble while the New Republic tries to keep control. That’s where Din Djarin and Grogu come in, stepping up as unlikely defenders in a galaxy that’s far from stable.
Directed by Jon Favreau, the movie also stars Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White, with producing duties handled by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce. The score comes from Ludwig Göransson, whose music has been a huge part of this story’s identity from the start.
The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters on May 22.
