The “Star Wars” universe just got a whole lot spicier with the addition of “The Bear’s” Jeremy Allen White! The Emmy-winning star is set to voice Rotta the Hutt in the upcoming “The Mandalorian & Grogu” movie, marking a huge leap from flipping burgers to voicing space slugs. Talk about career range!
This isn’t just another “Star Wars” flick; it’s the first movie since “The Rise of Skywalker” in 2019, and the excitement is through the roof. Directed by Jon Favreau, the movie hits theaters on May 22, 2026, and features a star-studded cast including White and the legendary Sigourney Weaver. And yes, The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal will be back as our favorite space dad, continuing his journey with Baby Yoda (Grogu).
Jeremy Allen White’s move from “Shameless’” Lip Gallagher to “The Bear’s” intense chef Carmy has already proven he can handle complex roles. He is also currently filming the Bruce Springsteen biopic. Now, he’s taking on a whole new challenge as Rotta the Hutt, Jabba’s offspring. It’s a major shift, but if he can bring that same intensity to the galaxy, we’re in for a treat.
The movie promises cinematic-scale action, epic space battles, and more Grogu cuteness than ever. With a cast like this, The Mandalorian & Grogu is shaping up to be the must-see movie event of 2026.
And White isn’t just joining a “Star Wars” film—he’s making a career leap. Landing a role in Star Wars is like hitting the Hollywood jackpot. Look at past stars like Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac—Star Wars turned them into household names. For White, this means a massive career boost with more opportunities, a bigger fanbase, and maybe even a few geeky tattoos to boot.
So mark your calendars, folks. Jeremy Allen White is taking the galaxy by storm, and we can’t wait to see what he does next.
