One of the original characters of Star Wars and a major player in the universe in Disney+ of Dave Filoni confirmed his absence in the recently announced film of The Mandalorian.
While speaking during a panel at Fan Expo Chicago and later reported by Screen Rant, the Boba Fett actor, Temuera Morrisonconfirmed that his character will not appear in the 2026 film, The Mandalorian & GroguBoba Fett has been an integral figure in Filoni’s universe so far, playing a major role in season 2 of The Mandalorian and even receiving its own program, The Book of Boba Fett.
When asked if he’s heard from Lucasfilm or anyone under the Star Wars umbrella about playing a role in The Mandalorian & Grogu, Morrison had this to say:
“To be honest, I’m still waiting for a phone call. I think we’ve been left on the back burner for a while.. Maybe we can get out of it later.”

Will there be a second season of The Book of Boba Fett?
During the same panel, Morrison also confirmed that he has not heard any news about a possible second season of The Book of Boba Fett.It’s impossible to rule out the poor reception of The Book of Boba Fett season 1 as being to blame for his absence from the upcoming film and the lack of a follow-up season.
The series currently sits at a 66% critics score and a 49% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and is largely regarded as the biggest misstep in what has been a mostly successful effort for Star Wars television.
It is unknown at this time if we will see Morrison suiting up as the green-armored bounty hunter again in Star Wars.
