The latest actor to join the already top-notch cast of The Mandalorian Season 2 is Timothy Olyphant.
THR reports that the Deadwood actor has signed on for an appearance in the live-action Star Wars series' sophomore run, although details on the character he'll be playing are under wraps for the time being. The trade wonders if Olyphant will appear as an all-new character or a "returning favorite in a new guise."
Olyphant can currently be seen in horror comedy series Santa Clarita Diet. He also featured in a memorable scene in Quentin Tarantino's recent Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.
Pedro Pascal is set to reprise the role of infamous bounty hunter Din Djarin, and he'll be joined by fellow season 1 returnees Gina Carano (Cara Dune), Carl Weathers (Greef Carga), Giancarlo Esposito (Moff Gideon) and, of course, "The Child." It was recently announced that Attack of The Clones actor Temuera Morrison would be suiting-up as Boba Fett, while Rosario Dawson is believed to be playing Ahsoka Tano.
All going well, The Mandalorian Season 2 will premiere on Disney+ this October. Guest directors include Alita: Battle Angel’s Robert Rodriguez and Ant-Man’s Peyton Reed.
Tell us, do you think Olyphant will be playing an established character from the galaxy far, far away? Let us know in the comments.
