'The Mandalorian' movie could happen but not so soon

In a recent interview with Variety, The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau shed a light on the possibility of a spinoff Star Wars movie headlining Din Djarin. He said that the line is blurring now. The showrunner explained that things which the audiences would have only seen in the movie theatres, they are now seeing on streaming, and he thinks it could go the other way as well. He stated that they are in “no rush” to make a film on the character. But Favreau mentioned that they are “definitely open” to it and excited to see where the story leads them and have that flexibility because there is no rulebook now.

Pedro Pascal who plays the titular character as Din Djarin in the series also talked about future movie on The Mandalorian show. He thinks that the work is “so beautiful” that he would love for that to be held by a big-screen experience. But the actor stated that it seems to work so well that he is also not sure it is something that he would want to be corrupted by any kind of change. Pascal mentioned that he certainly knows that the challenge to make a movie can be met. If anybody can do it, it is the series team, he noted.
