Jeremy Allen White Voices Rotta the Hutt in Mandalorian and Grogu Film

In the past few years, the Star Wars franchise has been on a hiatus, but that is about to change. According to the latest news, the film branch of the franchise is ramping up once again, with the next movie set to hit theaters being The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Based on the acclaimed TV show created by Jon Favreau, the upcoming film will follow the titular characters as they embark on a new adventure. Early footage suggests that during their travels, Din Djarin and his surrogate, Force-wielding son, Grogu, will cross paths with Rotta the Hutt, who is voiced by actor Jeremy Allen White.

White, who has been in high demand in Hollywood lately, recently opened up about landing the role of Rotta. It seems that Favreau, the director and co-writer of the film, personally reached out to the actor, known for his work in the series Shameless. White expressed his excitement about the opportunity to bring a Star Wars character to life on the big screen.

Rotta the Hutt originally made his on-screen debut in the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where he appeared as a Huttlet who had been kidnapped. Now, decades after those events, Rotta has grown considerably, and his exact role in the Mandalorian and Grogu story remains a mystery. However, fans are eager to see how White's performance will bring the character to life, given the Hutts' unique vocal tones and language.
