People are understandably hyped up for the second season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch next year. However, it looks like one of the characters in the animated series is returning a lot sooner than expected. A key figure in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars spin-off is now believed to get a live-action debut in the upcoming Disney+ show The Book of Boba Fett.
We already know of one character who is sure to appear in The Book of Boba Fett. Originally introduced in The Mandalorian, a younger version of Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand showed up in The Bad Batch and tried to retrieve Omega for the Kaminoans. In the present Mandalorian timeline, Fennec is Boba's companion and is set to play a major role in the upcoming show.
Interestingly, The Book of Boba Fett could give us a second showdown between Fennec and the other bounty hunter she faced in The Bad Batch. A new report suggests that Cad Bane will finally get his live-action debut in the Mandalorian spin-off show.
This isn't exactly a huge surprise considering that there are speculations about The Book of Boba Fett reintroducing the bounty hunters of the Star Wars Universe. It is believed that the series will see Boba reunite with the other bounty hunters who were hired by Darth Vader.
For now, Disney and Lucasfilm have not shared any update on The Book of Boba Fett nor the characters who will appear in the spin-off. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
The Book of Boba Fett will star Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen. The series will premiere on Disney+ in December 2021. Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 is set to air on the streaming service in 2022.
