Carl Weathers was one of the great action movie actors of the 1980s, having featured prominently in the first four Rocky films and 1988's Predator. It's a genre he's not really returned to in recent years, with the actor dabbling more in comedy over the last few decades, but there's no better way to mark an action comeback than with Star Wars.

Weathers will play Greef Carga, the leader of the Bounty Hunter troupe the Mandalorian himself is a member of. Lucasfilm released an image of the character during the panel, while those in attendance snapped images of concept art that revealed Carga's weapons - two blaster pistols.

Apart from what was revealed at Celebration not much is actually known of Carga. He leads a band of Bounty Hunters, has a great costume and is being portrayed by Weathers. Here's hoping more info is forthcoming in the months ahead.
