Sigourney Weaver joined the cast of "The Mandalorian & Grogu," set for release May 22, 2026. In an interview with IGN, Weaver discussed her role as a Rebel pilot protecting the New Republic in the Outer Rim. She revealed her fondness for Grogu, describing him as mischievous and 'kawaii.' Weaver hadn't seen "The Mandalorian" before joining but praised the series. She shared scenes with Grogu, including one where he used the Force to steal her snacks. When asked about Grogu's power compared to a Xenomorph, Weaver believes the Xenomorph is more powerful due to its destructive nature.
