Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, and Werner freakin' Herzog join The Mandalorian
Well, it looks like Disney is pretty damn serious about convincing Star Wars fans to sign up for its Disney+ streaming service. Not only is Jon Favreau’s Disney+ series The Mandalorian about a guy who looks like fan-favorite intergalactic badass Boba Fett, but the series has a dynamite cast that includes Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, and Nick Nolte. Today, that cast is getting even better thanks to the addition of Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, and Werner Herzog—the German filmmaker who you may recognize as the Jack Reacher villain who had two thumbs and not much else, hand-wise. That comes from Variety, which says The Mandalorian will also feature Emily Swallow and Omid Abtahi.
