Carl Weathers has spoken with SYFY WIRE about his role in ‘The Mandalorian’ discussing issues like his first impressions, and taking on the director chair in season two.
On His Initial Thoughts:
“You walk into the conference room and all this art is on the walls and [Favreau] is so passionate about it all and it’s all magnificent,” Weathers recalled. “It’s like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I’m working on something that Disney is going to be behind, I’m working on something that Jon Favreau is marshaling, and I’m working on Star Wars — and then I get a chance to meet Dave Filoni — and now it’s like, ‘We’re in really good hands.'”
On Directing In Season Two:
Despite his directing experience, Weathers said he learned a lot while behind The Mandalorian‘s camera, describing it as “a liberating experience when you have so many smart, talented, collaborative, good-hearted, caring people around you on a daily basis.”
“[The Mandalorian] is one of the most exciting projects as a result of just that,” Weathers said. “There is so much that you get a chance to learn. You learn a lot about yourself. Let me just listen and see what happens here. Somebody’s gonna come up with something that’s really brilliant. I don’t have to be the sharpest tool in that box, but I can take credit for it when I’m directing somebody else. They come up with the answer, I’ll take credit for it and it’s okay.”
