Interesting news comes from Variety as it’s reported that The Hulk and 48 Hours star Nick Nolte has been added to the cast of The Mandalorian.
Nick Nolte has joined the cast of the upcoming “Star Wars” streaming series “The Mandalorian, ” Variety has confirmed with sources.
The series, which will air on the streaming service Disney+, will also star Pedro Pascal and Gina Carano. Like the other previously announced cast members, the exact details of Nolte’s character are being kept under wraps. Jon Favreau penned the series, which is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. It follows the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
This is also not Nolte’s first brush with the “Star Wars” universe. The actor has previously spoken about the fact he was on a short list of actors considered to play Han Solo before Harrison Ford was cast in the iconic role.
It’s worth noting that so far, as with the rumours of Carl Weathers joining the show, that Disney have declined to comment. Hopefully, as with the Cassian Andor series, we will be getting some solid confirmations of casting soon.
