This will be the next Star Wars film, confirms the boss of Disney.

A little more patience before returning to the galaxy far, far away. Star Wars will return to dark rooms with The Mandalorian & Grogu. And the Hollywood Reporter reveals that Disney CEO Bog Iger confirmed in his latest financial report a “probable” release of the film in 2026.

He specifies in passing that The Mandalorian & Grogu will indeed be the next Star Wars film and that it will therefore arrive before Star Wars (with Daisy Ridley).

Star Wars: Iger confirms that THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU will be the first of the new slate of Star Wars movies, likely to hit in 2026.
