Giancarlo Esposito Weighs In On the Possibility of Moff Gideon Appearing in the MANDALORIAN & GROGU Movie

The villainous Star Wars character Moff Gideon, played by the incredible actor Giancarlo Esposito, was supposedly defeated for good in the series The Mandalorian, but fans aren’t completely convinced that he’s gone once and for all.

We have no idea if we will see him again, but we also don’t know what the upcoming film The Mandalorian & Grogu will entail. Could he return in the movie?

Esposito recently spoke with Deadline at a red carpet event, and he addressed his possible return to the galaxy far, far away, saying:

“Anything is possible. You know, I don't know anything about that at the present, but I put out there that if they need me I'll be there. I love what Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Disney does with Mandalorian – and who knows? There may be a moment where I can swoop down and take over once again.”

So he’s down to return. And, of course, if he already knows that something is in the works, he isn’t at liberty to say.

We will just have to see how the fourth season of The Mandalorian shakes out, and how it leads into The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is set to be released on May 22, 2026.
