The Mandalorian & Grogu
A listing on UK cinema chain Odeon Group has seemingly revealed that Jon Favreau’s new Star Wars film “The Mandalorian & Grogu” will clock in at a runtime of 140 minutes when it opens May 22nd.

The figure has not yet been officially confirmed by the studio, but the runtime falls in line with most “Star Wars” films of the Disney era which have run around 135-140 minutes. Episodes of “The Mandalorian” have run between 29-45 minutes, making this film about as long as half a season. [Source: CBM]

Severance
Adam Scott tells Deadline that filming on the third season of the Apple TV series will kick off “very, very soon… I’ll put two ‘verys’ on that”. The comments come as World of Reel reports that “Columbus” filmmaker Kogonada, who was linked as a director on the third season last month, will reportedly helm the majority of episodes this year – taking over from executive producer Ben Stiller who helmed much of the first two seasons.
