People magazine reported that Weaver briefly discussed shooting the film, which premieres on May 22, 2026, while on stage for the Alien and Beyond panel at New York Comic-Con. During the October 10 panel, Weaver, who famously played Ellen Ripley in the Alien franchise, said she was approached to play Colonel Ward by the director and co-writer of The Mandalorian and Grogu, Jon Favreau.
"I was, of course, amazed by it and fell in love with it, and Pedro [Pascal] and Grogu," said Weaver on the panel. "Also I love how the Star Wars universe has — it's not trying to pay off each movie with the whole backlog of movies. It's now individual stories set in the same universe."
"I was only on the set for a few days, but I was surrounded by all kinds of different creatures. I got a drink from someone with a very different kind of head," said Weaver during the interview.

"I can tell you that it stars myself and Sigourney Weaver and a little green guy. I will say that," said Pascal, who has played the Mandalorian since the show's first season, which premiered in 2019. "Jon Favreau is providing probably one of the biggest adventures that we've seen since our first Star Wars movies were released into the world. And it's going to be big."
