As a long-time fan of Jeremy Allen White‘s gritty and authentic performances, I am absolutely thrilled to see him joining the galaxy far, far away! From his raw portrayal of Lip Gallagher in “Shameless” to his Emmy-winning role in “The Bear,” it’s clear that White has the talent to bring any character to life.
According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter, it appears that Lucasfilm is preparing a part for Jeremy Allen White, the Emmy-winning star of ‘The Bear.’ It’s been confirmed that he has joined the cast of ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu.’
Lucasfilm did not respond to a request for comment.
It’s reported that White provides the voice for Rotta the Hutt, a character who first appeared in the animated film, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” which was released in 2008.
Jon Favreau is handling the direction for the upcoming “Star Wars” film, set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026. This movie is a continuation of his Disney+ show, “The Mandalorian,” where Pedro Pascal plays a character who unwillingly looks after Grogu, or Baby Yoda. Sigourney Weaver is also part of the cast in this feature film.
The duo of Mandalorian and Grogu marks the first Star Wars feature film since “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” in 2019. This movie was released a month following the premiere of “The Mandalorian” on Disney+, quickly establishing itself as the platform’s marquee series. To date, three seasons have been created for the show, and the upcoming film is being produced by Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, and Dave Filoni, chief creative officer at Lucasfilm.
Previously, Jerod Melford made an appearance in the Showtime series ‘Shameless’, and subsequently climbed to the top tier with his role as the main character in the acclaimed series ‘The Bear’, which focuses on the intense environment of a kitchen in Chicago. Upcoming projects include the Bruce Springsteen biopic titled ‘Deliver Me’.
White is repped by WME, Entertainment 360 and Hansen Jacobson.
The Insneider first reported the news.
