Moff Gideon Actor Giancarlo Esposito Says He Would Love to Return to THE MANDALORIAN, But His Fate Is Unsure

For fans who watched Season 3 of The Mandalorian, it was pretty clear that Moff Gideon’s journey had come to a crispy, burnt up end. But the bad guy, portrayed by the fantastic villainous actor Giancarlo Esposito, happens to have a loophole in the form of a pack of clones he was working on. So it is possible we could see Moff Gideon once again?! According to Esposito, if it is a possibility, he’s absolutely down to return as often as The Mandalorian crew will have him.

In a recent interview with The Wrap, Giancarlo raved about the character, saying:

I liked this character of Moff Gideon for a lot of reasons. One is he controls the chaos like no other; two is that he’s very smart and knows everything. That’s a given. And he has abilities. He’s not only good with this very foreign object, the darksaber that doesn’t belong to him but really does fit with him. He’s really good with his TIE fighter. And now in this third season, we see him masterminding something that he really wants not knowing, as an audience, what the true vision is. And that’s exciting. The antihero is really just a fallen hero. There’s a complication about him that I try to live and breathe with when I’m on the set.

When pressed on whether he may return for season four, he said:

I know nothing about Season 4. (Jon) hasn’t tipped his hat to me. So many fans are like, “You were a clone, right?” It could be. I trust Jon knows what he’s doing. I would love to keep dying and coming back. That’d be my favorite thing of all. There are a lot of ways to go and I’m open to whatever they have in play.

It would be cool to see Esposito return to play Moff Gideon in an interesting new capacity. How many times can we kill this guy off?! We don’t have a definite date for the return of the series yet, but the production is currently on hold as we wait for the writers strike to come to an end.
