Sigourney Weaver is set to join the Star Wars universe with a role in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian & Grogu

Of course, Weaver is already a certified sci-fi legend thanks to her role as Ripley in the Alien franchise, plus her dual roles as Dr. Augustine and Kiri in the Avatar movies &ndas♊ღh; but those credentials are about to get a whole lot more stacked. 

, Weaver is in talks for a role in the film, which is set to be the next Star Wars movie. No further details are available on her character at this time, but The Mandalorian is no stranger to huge stars: the likes of Christoper Lloyd, Jack Black, and John Leguizamo have all had guest roles in the Disney Plus series before. 

Details on The Mandalorian & Grogu movie are thin on the ground at the moment, but we do know that Jon Favreau will be directing, with Dave Filoni and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy producing. 

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian season 3 ended with Din Djarin and Baby Yoda settling down on Navarro together, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mando offi🧜cially adopting Grogu a💛s his own son. It's unclear what they might be getting up to next, but there've been some seismic galactic events since then: in Ahsoka, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grand Admiral Thrawn made it back to the main galaxy, along with a stowaway 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ezra Bridger, while 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ahsoka Tano and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sabine Wren were stranded i𒁏n Peridea. The Mandalorian ꧑& Grogu could pick up where Ahsoka left off, or it could see Mando and Grogu on a whole new adventure – we'll just have to wait and see. 

Next up for Star Wars is 🐬The Acolyte, a murder mystery set in the High Republic era. It'll be🍸 followed by Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy and Skeleton Crew later this year.
