There hasn’t been a Star Wars movie in theaters since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, but it looks like The Mandalorian and Grogu will be the first film in the franchise to get back to the big screen. While it seems likely that some familiar faces from The Mandalorian will return for the film, we can rule out one cast member: Temuera Morrison’s Boba Fett.
Via ScreenRant, Morrison appeared at FanExpo Chicago over the weekend, where he confirmed that he won’t be reprising his role in The Mandalorian and Grogu. In fact, it sounds like Morrison hasn’t been approached about coming back to the part in any capacity.
“I’m still waiting for a phone call to be quite honest,” said Morrison. “I think we’re just put on the shelf for a little bit. Maybe we come off the shelf later.” Given the secrecy associated with Star Wars, it’s also possible that this is a misdirect. But he seems sincere.
Morrison recurred as Boba Fett in The Mandalorian Season 2, and his performance as the aging bounty hunter was widely praised. However, the spin-off series, The Book of Boba Fett, was not as well-received as The Mandalorian. That show was seemingly done after a single season, and Lucasfilm has yet to reveal plans for any further adventures of Boba Fett.
It could be argued that The Book of Boba Fett represents the end of Boba’s story, as he claimed his underworld throne and earned a measure of redemption by defending the people of Tatooine from the criminal syndicates. But it’s also possible that he’ll show up in Dave Filoni’s untitled Star Wars movie that will tie up some lingering threads from The Mandalorian and Ahsoka.
The Mandalorian & Grogu will hit theaters on May 22, 2026.
