There are few franchises quite as popular and beloved as Star Wars . While fans are still waiting for it to return to theaters with upcoming Star Wars movies , the franchise keeps expanding with live-action shows that are available with a Disney+ subscription . The Mandalorian was the first of these shows, and it'll be getting a movie adaptation directed by Jon Favreau .
But will Giancarlo Esposito be back as Moff Gideon in that blockbuster? Here's the latest from the actor himself. What we know about The Mandalorian and Grogu is slim, as the project is still very much in the development stage. Fans are eager to see the beloved characters go from TV to to the big screen, and how the story might be wrapped up.
While in an interview with GQ , Esposito spoke about his possible future in the galaxy far, far away, offering: I love the Star Wars universe. I don't have any plans because they haven't called me. [I] love Moff Gideon because you have something I want.
Interesting. Esposito admitted that he hasn't been contacted by Favreau or Lucasfilm to reprise his role for the forthcoming Star Wars movie. But he seems to love his role as Gideon, and would be down to clown.
Are you listening, Kathleen Kennedy? A ton of Star Wars projects were announced in the years since D isney acquired Lucasfilm , many of which have since been scrapped. But it sounds like The Mando movie its actually happening, especially with the Jon Favreau behind the camera. It's just unclear what the story will .
