Second Mandalorian and Grogu Teaser Trailer Reveals Epic Return and a Few New Surprises

Jon Favreau teases Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu

THE NEW TEASER TRAILER for The Mandalorian and Grogu is here—and those of you who were hoping for a little bit more of a polished cinematic look finally get your wish. The action-packed, almost two-minute trailer is filled with all sorts of thrills, chills, and stunning visuals that have us wishing we could just make the jump to May 22, 2026. Fans who were concerned that the Sept teaser trailer felt less like a cinematic event and more like a glorified episode of the Disney+ show condensed for the big screen can finally relax a little because this teaser delivers. The new version, or second released teaser, is playing in front of Zootopia 2 this Thanksgiving weekend, and it has added previously shown scenes from Star Wars Celebration Japan and D23.

This second teaser flows better and makes The Mandalorian and Grogu look much bigger in scale. We see more of the movie than ever before, including new material, roughly a half-dozen new shots consisting of Din Djarin speeding down the mountain piloting what looks like an AT-RT off the side of a snowy cliff to attack the fully armored AT-ATs, more of fan-favorite Zeb Orrelios, and a great final scene of Grogu destroying a Mouse Droid at an Imperial base on a snow planet reminiscent of Hoth.

All this comes just a days after a new international poster featuring a minimalist design focusing on the main characters that includes a potential early release date for some regions and a short promo video, via the X platform, for ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ starring Grogu using the force in a playful and cute little moment.

Despite the film’s bumpy road and a divided fanbase, it’s right on schedule to premiere on the May 2026 release date it has always had. Lucasfilm is turning their marketing machine up a notch, and part of their huge push is unveiling another teaser trailer that does an excellent job of establishing the film’s tone.

This is very much an old-school space adventure film, and it looks like a lot of fun. In particular, Mando and Grogu have some already memorable interactions, most notably the moment when they team up to battle whomever gets in their way. The back and forth between the two reminds me of the Han Solo and Chewbacca relationship from yesteryears.

You can check out the screenshots of the teaser below. Thanks to @Mando3Updates.

The Official Japanese Star Wars X @starwarsjapan account has teased a slightly alternate ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ teaser with a few extra shots. Check it out below! The hype is real.

‘Set in a galaxy after the fall of the Empire, waiting for two bonded together. What grand adventure and astonishing fate await the two bound by an unbreakable bond?’

Also, don’t forget to read Empire Magazine’s full The Mandalorian And Grogu story in The Odyssey issue now on magazine stands and bookstores everywhere. The director tells Empire that Mando annd Grogu are back – in a cinematic outing focused on its two main heroes. “It’s a lot of fun.”

“That central relationship, as they go off and face adventure together, that’s the underpinning of the film,” Jon Favreau tells Empire.
