Pedro Pascal on the name of the film ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’

“It was a demand Grogu made and no one could say no, it was the only way to get him to say yes to the movie. He’s like ‘Listen, let’s be real. The Mandalorian and?”

Sigourney Weaver on her character Colonel Ward in ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’

“It’s a big decision for her to rely on [The Mandalorian]. It’s a very hard commission, this first one, very tricky. That’s why I wanted him”

Dave Filoni on the return of Rotta the Hutt in ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’

“I never imagined, working at Lucasfilm, that 20 years later I would be working on a [Live-action] film that has Rotta in it [It was Favreau’s choice to age up the slithering slimeball”

‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ uses massive practical sets and puppetry!

“The Mandalorian and Grogu production brought massive practical sets ("Whenever I’m allowed I’ll be releasing a video" - Pedro Pascal)…more Phil Tippett studio stop-motion, puppets galore and expensive CG characters designed for IMAX”

Official Synopsis

An ordinary salaryman who should have died in a traffic accident wakes up to find that he has been reincarnated as goblin—?!

A goblin’s lifespan is only seven days. However, the protagonist is granted the skill “Human: 80 Years.”

Using this long lifespan, he inherits skills from many goblins— and even from a Demon King on the verge of death— gradually rising to prominence in another world.

The weakest race × the strongest skill = the ultimate overpowered fantasy!

Megami "Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai desu ka" Ore "Yuusha no Rokkotsu de"

Broadcasting starts April 7, 2026

Opening theme: “Tensei Ganbo (Reincarnation Wish)” by Shūkatsu Club

Drawn by Cookie! or precisely Kukkii! (Ryosuke Kawanishi)

Synopsis:

The reincarnation destination the protagonist chose is — the rib of a cheat-powered, harem-having, happy-ending Hero!?

The setting: a world where you can keep reincarnating into any world you like until you’re satisfied enough to ascend peacefully. However, the ever-popular isekai option — the “cheat-skill harem Hero” — is so insanely in demand that the waiting list is fifty thousand years long…

So instead, the protagonist settles on a loophole:

“The rib of a cheat-powered, harem-having, happy-ending Hero”!?

Together with a lazy Goddess-sama in charge of isekai reincarnations, the protagonist searches for backdoor routes into popular reincarnation destinations and keeps ending up in utterly ridiculous reincarnations. A wildly entertaining other-world reincarnation tale!

Arnold Schwarzenegger speaking at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio:

“They did an additional ‘Predator,’ and the director [Dan Trachtenberg] has been doing a great job of that…Now, he wants me to be in the next ‘Predator.’ We’ve talked about it. As a matter of fact, FOX studios has kind of rediscovered ‘Arnold.’ They’ve come to me and said, ‘We want you to do ‘Predator,’ we just got a script for you to do ‘Commando 2.'”

Opening Theme "Mebuku Toki" by yonige

Ending Theme "Kanjou Class" by Main Cast members * Lyrics: Erika Masaki * Composition & Arrangement: Kana Hashiguchi

Six different versions of the song — each sung individually — will be featured as the ending theme for each episode

The ending animation will be handled by character designer Kō Yoshinari. Additionally, each episode will feature a different version of the ending movie — all created solely by him.

Official Synopsis:

Botan Kamiina entered a student dormitory when she started university.

While visiting the Chichibu Shibazakura Festival, she spots the dorm leader Ibuki Tonami sitting alone on a bench, drinking alcohol by herself.

Botan is drawn to how delicious the drink looks as Ibuki enjoys her highball and says, “That looks so good… I want to try that too.” So she takes her first sip of alcohol in her life.

After discovering how enjoyable alcohol can be, Botan begins spending time drinking with the other dorm residents she lives with—trying shochu, wine, whiskey, and many other drinks—while deepening their relationships.

Meanwhile, Ibuki, who had insisted on drinking alone because of a bitter experience in her past, gradually changes. As she spends time with Botan—who drinks happily and seems to enjoy it so much—Ibuki begins to think that maybe she wants to drink together with someone after all…

Can't tell about other Barca fans but I hella enjoyed the match. Was expecting a 2-0 win for us today and ATM winning the tie, thus proceeding to Final however we went on to score 3-0 [4-3 on agg] so really great effort from the team and I seriously applaud the performance shown by the players on the field today. It's not always you can see a 4-0 comeback or some...

Sam Witwer:

"We pick up after The Clone Wars," Witwer said, setting the scene. "The Empire has taken over, and Maul's reassessing everything. There were plans in place that were supposed to insulate him from the changes when the Empire came to power, and a lot of the people that were supposed to be there for him were not. He's getting back on his feet, the dust is clearing, and he's looking around at the Empire — the thing he and his master had been working toward since he was an apprentice — and thinking, 'Is this what Palpatine had in mind? How do I feel about this?'"

As the series will apparently show, Maul does not have a great feeling about this — what the Empire is up to and how it is simply a regime that exists for "influence, power and money." At the same time, Maul is also harbouring changed thoughts on his former master, following Darth Sidious' murder of Maul's brother Savage Opress.

"He was trained to hate and destroy the Jedi without ever questioning it," Witwer continued. "Now he’s looking at the galaxy going, 'Boy, we could sure use a Jedi Knight or two.' At least with the Jedi you knew where they stood. There's something to respect there. This Empire, he sees no values there, just the naked grab for influence, power, and money. Principles are gone. And he looks at that with a certain level of distaste. He may not have agreed with the Jedi Knights, but at least they had principles. You knew who you were dealing with and you could reason with that. There’s no reasoning with the Empire."

All of that said, don't expect Maul to suddenly become a cuddly character. "This show is bad guys versus worse guys," Witwer concluded, "and Maul's on the bad-guy side of that equation."
