Star Wars universe alum Temuera Morrison (Aquaman, Moana) will reportedly portray iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett in the upcoming second season of The Mandalorian on Disney+.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Morrison’s Boba Fett “is expected to play just a small role in season two of the series.” The New Zealand-born actor joined Star Wars back in 2002’s Attack of the Clones where he portrayed Jango Fett. In Attack of the Clones, it was revealed that Boba is actually one of Jango’s clones, who he decided to raise as his own son.

Behind the camera, Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn) and Peyton Reed (Marvel’s Ant-Man) have both confirmed that they will be directing episodes of Season 2.
