Pedro Pascal has played the masked bounty hunter for three seasons on the small screen.
"I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created," Favreau said in a statement. "The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting."
There are several other "Star Wars" features in development as well from Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold and Dave Filoni.
