The Mandalorian and GroguTheatrical follow-up to Disney+ Star Wars The series was, at least for the first two seasons, Disney's most popular series. Star Wars The biggest franchise ever. This news is as follows Report from a few months ago Weaver was in talks for a role Star Wars, The next big movie, which is set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026. Sigourney Weaver is known for iconic roles such as Ellen Ripley Foreigner Franchise and Dana Barrett Ghost Busters film series.

If you like Weaver's work, I recommend reading the full interview, but my intention is simply to comment on Weaver's work. Star Wars This part of the article is as follows:
DEADLINE: And the next movie you’re going to make?
Weaver: I'm playing a role The Mandalorian and Grogu [which will be directed by Jon Favreau].I got the chance to meet Grogu for the first time recently. I'm filming him before I go to London. storm At the end of the year.
DEADLINE: And then you'll be done conquering all the major sci-fi franchises! Is that the fun part?
Weaver: Very. I'm looking forward to it. I can't say much about it yet, but it's fun to bounce around between all these different universes.
It's not surprising that he has very little information to offer about his upcoming role. The Mandalorian and Grogu; Lucasfilm is known for its airtight NDAs. It's really cool that he got to see the Grogu puppet in person; I'm jealous. It would have been a lot more fun and exciting if he had been cast earlier The Mandalorian's A mediocre third season followed. Most people loved the first two seasons wholeheartedly, and there was a lot of excitement about the show after Season 2, especially after Luke Skywalker's big appearance. It's not Sigourney Weaver's or the movie's fault, but the third season definitely messed things up. I'm almost not sure how Lucasfilm managed to squander so much goodwill so quickly.
However, I am not saying there is no hope The Mandalorian and Grogu. it is Star Wars, will (hopefully) make a triumphant return to theaters, and I can only assume that Lucasfilm will do everything possible to make it worthwhile for fans. Casting respected actors like Sigourney Weaver is a good sign that they want to make this movie something special. The Mandalorian There have always been fun cameos, but it looks like Weaver will have a bigger role in the movie. Also in terms of cameos and side characters, I found season 3 to be the weakest, so I'm hoping this will be a big step up in that regard. I love Christopher Lloyd and Jack Black, but The Mandalorian Clearly they didn't know what to do with her. I absolutely think Weaver has the ability to do anything Lucasfilm and Jon Favreau put in front of her. The only question is will they ruin it, especially considering this wouldn't be the first time. But who knows? I'm eagerly awaiting this movie, and I'll be seeing it when it hits theaters.
