Sci-fi queen and Academy Award nominee, Sigourney Weaver has confirmed her appearance in The Mandalorian and Grogu, the upcoming Star Wars feature in a new interview with Deadline. Weaver is one of the few names attached to this Lucasfilms project, as so far, only Pedro Pascal has been confirmed to appear in the movie.
In the interview, the Avatar actress was asked what her next role was, and she revealed that it was the upcoming Star Wars feature.

"I’m playing a role in The Mandalorian & Grogu," said Weaver. "I got to meet Grogu for the first time the other day. I’m filming that before I go to London for The Tempest at the end of the year." Weaver has starred in numerous science fiction projects throughout her acting career, including Ghostbusters, Alien, and most recently, James Cameron's Avatar. Outside of sci-fi, the actress has appeared in other projects, including Finding Dory, The Cabin in the Woods, and most recently, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart. It has been confirmed that Weaver will return in future Avatar films, and will be appearing in Dust Bunny and The Gorge. What Do We Know about ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu?'
