Who Plays Whom in The Mandalorian and Grogu

Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian

Pedro Pascal plays Din Djarin, the Mandalorian, a role he has held since The Mandalorian debuted on Disney+ in 2019. StarWars.com reports that he did many of his own stunts for the film, including a scene in murky water while wearing heavy beskar armor, and that he drew on his background as a competitive swimmer. He shares the performance with suit performer Brendan Wayne and stunt performer Lateef Crowder.

Jeremy Allen White as Rotta (voice)

Jeremy Allen White voices Rotta in The Mandalorian and Grogu, the son of Jabba the Hutt, who is held on the moon Shakari and fights there as a gladiator. Variety reported the casting in December 2024. The AV Club noted that White provides only the voice, and that Rotta first appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008), directed by Dave Filoni.

Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward

Sigourney Weaver plays Colonel Ward, whom StarWars.com describes as a no nonsense leader who survived the Empire. She is one of the film's new additions to the Mandalorian story. Variety reported in December 2024 that she had been cast in a role that had not been disclosed, and Pascal later called her "the biggest badass" in the StarWars.com cast feature.

Steve Blum as Zeb Orrelios (voice)

Steve Blum voices Zeb Orrelios, the Lasat warrior he has played since Star Wars Rebels began in 2014. Zeb made a live action cameo in the third season of The Mandalorian, and StarWars.com calls The Mandalorian and Grogu his big screen debut, with Zeb working alongside Din Djarin as a friend and copilot. Blum says Jon Favreau let him improvise during production.

Jonny Coyne as Lord Janu

Jonny Coyne plays Lord Janu in The Mandalorian and Grogu, the Imperial warlord turned gangster whose location the Hutt Twins offer to give up. He first played the character as Commander Coin in season three of The Mandalorian. SYFY reports that his film contract listed the name Janu Coin, because Jon Favreau liked the actor's own name enough to borrow it.

Matthew Willig as Hogsbreth

Matthew Willig plays Hogsbreth and is billed eighth in the TMDB credits. Tom's Guide presented the role as the newest Star Wars villain. Speaking to that outlet, he said that "Grogu is real and is as real as they come," which fits the puppet work that StarWars.com describes, where four or five, and sometimes more, puppeteers create one performance.

Martin Scorsese as Hugo Durant (voice)

Martin Scorsese voices Hugo Durant, an Ardennian shopkeeper whom Din Djarin asks for information about a Hutt. Variety reported the role on February 18, 2026, after his voice was heard in a new trailer, and noted his earlier voice work in Shark Tale (2004). Misty Rosas also shares the Hugo Durant credit on TMDB.

Hemky Madera as Commander Baro

Hemky Madera plays Commander Baro and is billed tenth in the TMDB credits. The same database credits him as a Warlord in an episode of The Mandalorian series, so the film brings him back to the franchise. In this story, Din Djarin and Grogu now work for the New Republic and hunt leftover Imperial warlords.

Stephen McKinley Henderson as Gatori (voice)

Stephen McKinley Henderson voices Gatori in The Mandalorian and Grogu, one of seven voice credits in the TMDB cast list, where he is billed eleventh. ABC7 reported that the production built its new creatures by combining old school stop motion with high tech animatronics, and Tippett Studio provided the stop motion animation.

Shirley Henderson as The Anzellans (voice)

Shirley Henderson voices The Anzellans in The Mandalorian and Grogu. ABC7 says the species was first seen as the tiny genius Babu Frik in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019), directed by J.J. Abrams. TMDB credits her as the voice of Babu Frik in that film and of the Anzellan Crew across four episodes of The Mandalorian, which makes this her third project with the species.

Cullen Douglas as Prefect Nobah

Cullen Douglas plays Prefect Nobah and is billed thirteenth in the TMDB credits for The Mandalorian and Grogu. He was one of about 54 cast members on a shoot that ran from around August 2024 to early December 2024. The California governor's office describes the film as the first Star Wars feature shot entirely in California.

Nigel Gibbs as Local Leader

Nigel Gibbs plays a Local Leader in The Mandalorian and Grogu, a credit that five actors share on TMDB: Gibbs, Bahia Haifi, Ajay Mehta, Peter Breitmayer and Rose Portillo. Gibbs is billed fourteenth, and the film used about 3,500 background extras, with roughly 49 minutes of it shot in IMAX 1.43:1.

The Mandalorian and Grogu Cast: How the Film Was Assembled

The Mandalorian and Grogu cast was built around the stars of the Disney+ series, with new names added during production. Pedro Pascal returned as Din Djarin, and StarWars.com quotes him saying that the character always felt big screen to him. In December 2024, Variety reported that Jeremy Allen White would voice Rotta the Hutt and that Sigourney Weaver had already been cast in a role that had not been disclosed (the AV Club cited The Hollywood Reporter as its source for the White story). Martin Scorsese came later, revealed through his voice in a trailer that Variety covered on February 18, 2026.

Jon Favreau directed the film and shares the writing credit with Dave Filoni, Noah Kloor and George Lucas. Several familiar names also have small credited parts, including Filoni as Trapper Wolf / Embo and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, whom TMDB credits as Captain Carson Teva in four episodes of the series. For the wider saga, see the other Star Wars movies, while the main The Mandalorian and Grogu page covers the plot and production in more depth.

Who Returns From The Mandalorian, and Who Is New?

Pedro Pascal, Jonny Coyne, Hemky Madera, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee and Shirley Henderson return from The Mandalorian on Disney+, while Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Martin Scorsese and Matthew Willig are new. Pascal leads as Din Djarin, and Grogu returns as a puppet, with StarWars.com noting that four or five, and sometimes more, puppeteers create one performance. Coyne comes back from season three as the warlord once called Commander Coin, and TMDB credits Madera and Lee with episodes of the show. Steve Blum brings Zeb Orrelios over from Star Wars Rebels, and Henderson voices the Anzellans again.

The newcomers play Colonel Ward (Weaver), Rotta (White), Hugo Durant (Scorsese) and Hogsbreth (Willig). One credit reaches back to the sequel trilogy, since Anthony Daniels, credited by TMDB as C-3PO in The Rise of Skywalker, voices the Air Traffic Control Droid here.
