It’s been a year since The Mandalorian season 3 finished airing on Disney+. While most sights are towards the upcoming Star Wars film, The Mandalorian and Grogu, there is some uncertainty if the TV show version will return anytime soon. According to Giancarlo Esposito, who played Moff Gideon in the show, he believes that The Mandalorian’s story will be heading in a new direction once the movie is released.
Culture Slate reported that during his appearance at Dragon Con, Esposito claimed that Disney might have plans to join all the Star Wars characters featured outside the Skywalker Saga into one great project. He also added that all of this would happen post-The Mandalorian and Grogu movie and all their stories would converge at some point. Somewhat similar to what the MCU did.
“as in the MCU…Disney will figure out how to join all of these characters into one really great movie or TV show. That’s my sense of where it will go…Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have a new vision, continuing on with a Mandalorian movie…My sense is that it’s all going to converge at one point or another and we’re going to have another set of… [a] trilogy, or more, of films.”
At the moment, there haven’t been many updates for the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu feature. The project was first announced by Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, during an earnings call in 2024. At the moment, two names are attached to the project – Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver. It’s still uncertain if other Mandalorian staples will return, including Esposito, as well as the film’s release date.
Where Else Has Giancarlo Esposito Starred In?
Esposito started his career in 1968 and has since appeared in multiple projects and has done a lot of voice acting roles.
