The Full Cast of THE MANDALORIAN Has Been Announced - Carl Weathers and Werner Herzog Confirmed

Lucasfilm has officially announced the full cast for Jon Favreau’s upcoming live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian.

That cast includes Pedro Pascal (Narcos) as “a lone Mandalorian gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy.” He will be joined by Gina Carano (Deadpool), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Emily Swallow (Supernatural), Carl Weathers (Predator), Omid Abtahi (American Gods), Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man) and Nick Nolte (Affliction).

That’s a pretty impressive cast that I can get behind! Favreau also offered a statement regarding how things are going during the show’s development, saying:

“We’re having a great time working with this incredibly talented group and excited for everyone to see what we’re up to.”

Well, I can’t wait to see it! The Mandalorian is written and executive produced by Favreau, with Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode and serving as executive producer alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson. Additional directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok).  

The plot of the show is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order and follows “a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.”

It was also previously revealed the story will follow a bounty hunter who is protecting a baby that he was initially sent to kill. You can read some more details regarding that here.
