The first poster for The Mandalorian has been revealed. The first ever live-action Star Wars TV show will premiere on Disney+ on November 12, which is the launch day of the upcoming streaming platform.
It’s a simple but stylish poster, that shows the main character, a lone gunman played by Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones) walking away from his ship on a desert planet with the sun setting–or possibly rising–behind him. The character’s Mandalorian armor will be very familiar to fans, as it’s the same type as worn by Boba and Jango Fett in the Star Wars movies. Check it out below.
The first trailer for The Mandalorian is yet to be released online, but likely to appear very soon. The show will focus at this weekend’s Disney’s annual D23 convention. However, fans at Star Wars Celebration back in April were given an early look at the show–check out GameSpot’s report on this first teaser.
The Mandalorian also stars Gina Carano (Deadpool), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Emily Swallow (Supernatural), Carl Weathers (Predator), Omid Abtahi (American Gods), Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man), and Nick Nolte (Affliction). The showrunner is Lion King director Jon Favreau, and the line-up of directors for individual episodes includes Taika Waititi (Thor Ragnarok), Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), and Jurassic World star Bryce Dallas Howard.
In related news, it was reported last week that Ewan McGregor is in talks to reprise his role of Obi-Wan Kenobi for another potential Disney+ Star Wars show. There’s also a show centered around the Rogue One character of Cassian Andor in the works for the service.
