Sigourney Weaver has shared a message about her appearance in The Mandalorian and Grogu sharing how the experience “felt like the right adventure at exactly the right moment” and how “the film carries a wonderful balance of heart, humor, and danger”.
Here’s the message in full…
Over the years, I’ve learned that when you’ve been part of stories people love, those stories never really let go and neither do the imaginations around them. I’ve seen a lot of excitement and speculation lately, and while I’m always touched by it, I wanted to share something that is very real and very close to my heart.
This May, I’ll be appearing in The Mandalorian and Grogu, and I’m genuinely thrilled for audiences to finally experience it. Stepping into the Star Wars universe was something I never expected earlier in my career, and yet it felt like the right adventure at exactly the right moment. The film carries a wonderful balance of heart, humor, and danger, the kind of storytelling that reminds us why these worlds endure.
What struck me most about this project wasn’t just the scale or the legacy, but the intimacy at its core. At the center of it all is connection, between unlikely allies, across generations, and between duty and compassion. Working alongside such a talented cast and creative team was a joy, and watching Grogu continue to capture hearts is something truly special to witness up close.
I remain endlessly grateful for the love that continues to surround Alien, Avatar, and so many other chapters of my life on screen. Those films shaped me, and I carry them with me always. But I also believe deeply in moving forward in embracing new stories, new voices, and new galaxies.
Thank you for your curiosity, your passion, and your willingness to come along for the ride, wherever it leads next. I can’t wait to share this journey with you when The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives this May. Love y’all so much ❤️
The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives in cinemas on May 22nd, 2026.
