Jon Favreau Shares New Mando Movie Clip on Jimmy Kimmel Live

This week, director Jon Favreau stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to dish on some massive geeky films — including Lucasfilm’s upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu™. His interview included insights about the Grogu puppet, debuting Mando & Grogu movie footage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, and even an exclusive clip from the film!

Check out the segment below for the awesome discussion and an exciting early look at The Mandalorian, Grogu, and Zeb Orrelios in action before the film’s May 22, 2026 release date:

Plus, at the 9:57 mark, Kimmel asks Favreau about his own collection. The director brings up having his very own Grogu™ Life-Size Figure by Sideshow.

If you already have The Child in your collection, be sure to take a look at our newly released Grogu figure accessory set inspired by The Mandalorian and Grogu film! It includes alternate display options including a Clan Mudhorn shield, a blue space cookie, a satchel, and more.

Their conversation also revisited iconic moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including all things Iron Man. From Robert Downey Jr.’s casting to Tony Stark’s ultimate fate in Avengers: Endgame, the director reflects on the impact of the character, the anticipation for RDJ’s return as Doctor Doom, and even giving himself a cameo in the first Iron Man film. As Avengers: Doomsday looms in the MCU’s future, it’s exciting to revisit the early history behind the genre-defining cinematic saga.

Favreau even offered fans a spoiler about the next Spider-Man movie! Really? Yes, kind of. You’ll just have to watch the video and find out.
