In a stunning flip of occasions, the rumor mill is suggesting that the fourth season of The Mandalorian would possibly change into the following Star Wars film as a substitute of the one starring Daisy Ridley as Rey.
According to Jeff Sneider on The Hot Mic, that is likely to be what’s taking place. He claims “the percentages are in its favor” {that a} film of The Mandalorian is on its means rather than a fourth season, claiming that this new growth could also be influenced by the disruption brought on by the writers and actors strikes earlier this 12 months. In addition to that, he additionally said that this is able to come out forward of Daisy Ridley’s new Star Wars film starring Rey.
The unique plan was for the following installment within the Din Djarin story to be a season of TV, as Jon Favreau had mentioned earlier this 12 months the scripts have been all achieved. Sneider says the strikes could have modified some issues since then, although stunt double Brendan Wayne posted final month that “season 4 of Mando” is “getting ramped up” (discover he didn’t say one thing vaguer like simply “The Mandalorian“).
It additionally makes you surprise what’s turning into of Dave Filoni’s Star Wars film, which was imagined to wrap up the occasions of The Mandoverse in an epic finale for The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka collection. Would this new film change his one, or just precede it? Theoretically, there’s no motive we couldn’t get a standalone Mandalorian movie earlier than the massive finale movie, however it might threaten to rob Filoni’s movie of a few of its grandeur if there’s already going to be one other movie releasing that options the identical characters.
Earlier this week, we shot down rumors on social media that Daisy Ridley’s film would start capturing in April, although there’s no direct correlation between that and The Mandalorian capturing schedule. The Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy-directed movie might nonetheless come out in May 2026, as we’ve been assuming, as The Mandalorian season 4 needs to be prepared to come back out in 2025 anyway.
The rumor that manufacturing on the Daisy Ridley-led #StarWars movie is about to start in April 2024 is inaccurate, in accordance with a supply we contacted. The script is reportedly not prepared but, and as a result of delays brought on by the strike, we do not anticipate filming to begin earlier than the summer season. pic.twitter.com/SkGsTnPxkI

This rumor does increase extra questions than solutions but it surely’s definitely doable that The Mandalorian season 4 might flip right into a film, particularly if Jon Favreau already is aware of the overall story. It will likely be attention-grabbing to see how this one pans out.
