Carl Weathers and Jon Favreau To Director Episodes of THE MANDALORIAN Season 2
Jon Favreau is already hard at work developing The Mandalorian Season 2 for Disney+. He already confirmed that he would direct an episode of the second season, but that was confirmed again at a recent press event. It was also revealed that Carl Weathers (Lando) is also likely to direct an episode of Season 2 as well which is pretty rad!
When previously talking about Season 2, Favreau said:
We’re working on season 2, writing, prepping with the directors and getting ready to direct myself, actually. I didn’t get a chance the last time around because I was doing Lion King. So I’ll step in for one of them.”
That’s great news and I love that Weathers could be directing an episode as well. This wouldn’t be Weather’s first directing gig. He’s directed several projects over the years including episodes of Silk Stockings, Sheena, For The People, Hawaii Five-O and more. The Mandalorian would definitely be his highest profile directing job!
The show is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order and here’s the synopsis:
After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
Some of the directors for the first season of The Mandalorian include Deborah Chow, Rick Famuyiwa, Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Taika Waititi. There’s no word on if any of them will return, but we’ll just have to wait and see, I’m sure Filoni will be back for more!
You can watch the first season on Disney+ on November 12.
