Jeremy Allen White Joins Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu Cast
The Mandalorian & Grogu cast continues to grow, with Jeremy Allen White now reportedly having signed on to star in the highly anticipated Star Wars movie.
According to a report from Jeff Sneider of The InSneider, White will star in the movie in the role of Rotta the Hutt, the son of Jabba the Hutt. Sneider describes the character as “a rather adorable young character,” though it’s unclear just how old he’ll be by the time fans meet him in the movie.
Alongside White, The Mandalorian & Grogu will also see the return of Pedro Pascal, who plays the role of Din Djarin/The Mandalorian in the Disney+ series as well. Sigourney Weaver is also set to star in the film in an as-of-yet undefined role.
White is best known for his roles in the hit television series’ Shameless and The Bear, the latter of which has seen him earn two Golden Globe Awards and two Primetime Emmy Awards. He also most recently starred in A24’s wrestling drama The Iron Claw, and will play the role of Bruce Springsteen in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere.
