Temuera Morrison Says He Won't Return as Boba Fett in THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU Movie
The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison has discussed the possibility of returning to the role of Boba Fett one day and has been pushed for a sequel to his Disney+ series.
Some fans thought maybe Boba Fett would show up in Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni’s The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, but Morrison has confirmed that he will not be a part of that project.
The news comes from Screen Rant, which reports: "Boba Fett actor Temuera Morrison confirmed during the panel 'From Clone Troopers to Bounty Hunters' at Fan Expo Chicago that he will not be returning in The Mandalorian & Grogu.
“In fact, Morrison said that he also hasn't received an update regarding a possible season 2 of The Book of Boba Fett."
The actor is quoted as saying, "I'm still waiting for a phone call to be quite honest. I think we're just put on the shelf for a little bit. Maybe we come off the shelf later."
The Book of Boba Fett was not a very good series and I think there was a much more interesting story to tell for that character.
Morrison previously talked about how grateful he is to play this classic Star Wars character and also says that after looking back at the series, there are some things he would change.
He said: “Now that I'm looking back at it, I don't know, it's just one of those things. Things are great when you look back, but there are some things I may have done a little bit different. But again, just for me to work with Jon and be part of the Mandalorian family [has] just been quite phenomenal, really."
Morrison previously shared one of his criticisms about how his character was handled, saying he talked "far too much" in his role.
He explained: "I speak far too much. In fact, in the beginning, I was trying to pass my lines on to Ming-Na [Wen]. I said: 'Excuse me director, I really feel that Ming-Na should say these lines, 'cause I wanna stay mysterious. I wanna stay quiet.'
“We had to fill in the gaps and give out a little bit of information [about Boba], but yes, I think I did speak a bit too much."
If The Book of Boba Fett Season 2 did happen, Morrison previously shared what he’d like to see in it, saying he wants to see Boba on a journey to hunt down Mace Windu.
He explained: "Being a young teenager, fatherless and making his own way, he's got a few chips on his shoulders. I think that we'd better let Jon Favreau know that we should have another series where I start looking for Mace."
We’ll just have to wait and see if Lucasfilm actually has any future plans for Boba Fett.
