The Mandalorian sees Pedro Pascal take on the starring role as a bounty hunter alongside previously announced cast members Gina Carano, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Carl Weathers, Omid Abtahi, Nick Nolte, and Werner Herzog’s presumed antagonist. Disney did not reveal who Ming-Na Wen would be playing.

When Disney+ launches on November 12, The Mandalorian will be available to stream. The series has already been renewed for a second season.
