- Quick Answer: With the current box office performance of The Mandalorian and Grogu, one of the stars offered a hopeful response regarding the franchise's future.
A star of The Mandalorian and Grogu recently weighed in on the prospects of a potential sequel following the movie's tepid box office performance.
While the new Star Wars movie was received well by fans, its box office has not been as strong as the sequel trilogy movies, and it is on track to become one of the lowest-grossing movies in the franchise by the end of its theatrical run. Nevertheless, there are still questions about its future, as some are wondering whether a sequel is still imminent.
Is The Mandalorian and Grogu Still Getting a Sequel After Tepid Box Office Results?
During his recent appearance at Fan Expo Philadelphia (via Screen Rant), Brendan Wayne, one of the stunt performers who played Din Djarin, opened up about the future of the Mandalorian and Grogu in the Star Wars franchise following the new movie's release.
Despite the tepid box office performance of The Mandalorian and Grogu, he shared that he is confident that the titular characters will return to the big screen in the future.
"We also know, or maybe only I do, that there is definitely a place in the world for more of us...I think the audiences have given us the permission to proceed," Wayne said. "I don't know if it's going to be on the small screen or the big screen, my guess is the big screen, but I'm looking forward to it."
However, the actor didn't provide any specific details about Lucasfilm's plans for the future, although his remarks have given the audience optimism that they might see Din Djarin and Grogu again in the future.
Director Jon Favreau has already teased the ideas that he has in mind for the future of The Mandalorian and Grogu after the release.
"I think about it creatively, and so for me it's like a garden or a greenhouse with all the different storylines and characters," he said.
"I see opportunity in all of them, because these storylines have taken on a life of their own, and I love the progression of these characters, and I like to think forward as to what's the next step for both of them."
For now, fans should stay tuned for updates regarding the future of Din Djarin and Grogu in the coming weeks or months.
What is The Mandalorian and Grogu About?
In The Mandalorian and Grogu, the evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy.
