A new galaxy calls, and Jeremy Allen White answers. The acclaimed actor has been announced as the voice of Rotta the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt's son, in the upcoming film The Mandalorian & Grogu.
For Jeremy Allen White, this will be his first venture into the sci-fi genre, but he’s certainly no stranger to Hollywood. After playing Philip “Lip” Gallagher in the long-running Showtime series Shameless, he skyrocketed to fame with his portrayal of Chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto in The Bear. This role earned him two Emmys and two Golden Globes, showcasing his incredible ability to bring authenticity and intensity to his characters. Recently, Jeremy starred in the sports drama Iron Claw alongside Zac Efron and is currently working on a biopic about Bruce Springsteen titled Deliver Me From Nowhere. In short, there’s no doubt that he’ll bring depth and nuance to Rotta the Hutt as well.
This announcement is one of the first significant updates about the new “Mando-verse” film, revealed earlier this year, and it could be pivotal to the storyline. Jon Favreau, the mastermind behind The Mandalorian and director of The Mandalorian & Grogu, has been incredibly tight-lipped about the film’s plot, fueling fan speculation. However, with this new casting news, we can start to make some educated guesses.
In The Book of Boba Fett, we saw how Jabba’s cousins tried to reclaim his criminal empire, only to be defeated by Boba Fett and Fennec Shand. With Rotta now entering the scene, could he be aiming to reclaim the throne that once belonged to his father? This could lead to new conflicts and potentially bring back iconic characters like Boba Fett and Fennec Shand. One thing’s for sure: the reintroduction of the Hutt legacy promises a central role for this infamous family in the new story.
While speculations abound, the plot remains shrouded in mystery and will likely stay that way until the movie’s release. As of now, the film is set to premiere on May 22, 2026, but, as with most Disney projects, delays are always a possibility. With filming officially wrapped earlier this month, the team is now gearing up for post-production, so we can expect more updates like this in the coming months.
Stay tuned for the latest news on The Mandalorian & Grogu. One thing is certain: this next chapter in the galaxy far, far away is shaping up to be unmissable.
