While the various movies and TV shows set to be showcased at D23 will likely be the highlight of the weekend, plenty of famous figures will be honored at the Disney Legends Awards.
Generally, this ceremony isn’t a source of casting news, but during a moment dedicated to actress Ming-Na Wen, who has had key roles in projects like
Mulan and
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed (
via Deadline) Wen was a part of
The Mandalorian cast.
It’s currently unclear what her role will be in the Star Wars series, but Wen is definitely excited to join the sci-fi universe, as she joked about Disney’s recent acquisitions and all the roles they've given her
“Please just keep acquiring all these different franchises, because I just keep getting employed by them. I have hit every bucket list thanks to Disney.”
A new trailer for
The Mandalorian, which will premiere on Disney+ November 12, is set to debut at D23 later today.
