Watch the trailer for Disney’s The Mandalorian!
Disney’s D23 Expo is in full swing, and all eyes are on the Disney+ panel, where the studio unveiled the first proper trailer for its live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian, starring Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell) as the title character, “a bounty hunter who travels the outer reaches of the lawless galaxy, surviving as a mercenary-for-hire.”
Watch below!
So is Pascal ever gonna take off his helmet or what?
Earlier, Disney released the official poster for the show:

Gorgeous. Very spaghetti western.
Pedro Pascal is joined by:
- Gina Carano (Deadpool) as Cara Dune. Care is a former Rebel Shock Trooper.
- Carl Weathers (Happy Gilmore) as Greef Carga, the leader of a bounty hunter guild who hires the Mandalorian
- Omid Abtahi (American Gods) as Dr. Pershing
- Taika Waititi (director, Thor: Ragnarok) as the voice of IG-11
- Nick Nolte (Angel Has Fallen)
- Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad)
- Emily Swallow (The Mentalist)
- Werner Herzog (director of the documentary where that one guy was eaten by bears: Grizzly Man)
- Bill Burr (Comedian, Breaking Bad)
- Mark Boone Junior (Sons of Anarchy)
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Ming-Na Wen (Melinda May) has also joined the cast. The announcement was made at the panel today.
Ming-Na Wen plays a badass on AoS, so I hope her role in The Mandalorian will be along those lines. As far as how Disney+ will air the series, creator Jon Favreau says it will drop one episode at a time rather than release it all at once, as Netflix does with new seasons of its shows.
Having to wait for new episodes of a show each week helped create buzz for shows like Game of Thrones, so this is a good move. The series will premiere only on Disney+ when the streaming platform goes live on November 12.
