After being introduced (and seemingly killed-off) in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul was brought back for The Clone Wars and soon became a staple of the animated corner of the galaxy far, far away. Now, a new rumor is claiming that the former Sith warrior will be the focus of his own animated series.
Cinelinx is reporting that a new show set before the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story is in development (presumably for Disney+) that will tell the story of Maul's reemergence as the leader of the Crimson Dawn. Sam Witwer is expected to reprise his role as the villainous Zabrak, and Solo's Paul Bettany may also be back as Dryden Vos.
Maul is a very popular character, so it wouldn't exactly be surprising if Disney/Lucasfilm planned to capitalize on his substantial fanbase. We thought we might see more of the live-action incarnation after Solo, but given the recent controversy surrounding actor Ray Park, animation does make more sense.
Maul finally met his end - for good, it seems - at the hand/lightsaber of his old nemesis Obi-Wan Kenobi is Star Wars Rebels, but Solo proved that there is still plenty of his shady past worth exploring. Best not to put too much stock in this until we hear something official, though.
