The Mandalorian Season 2 - Every Director Confirmed So Far

3. Carl Weathers

Following in the footsteps of Waititi, Greef Karga himself becomes the latest member of The Mandalorian's cast to pull double duty and transition from in front of the camera to behind it.

Unlike the Academy Award winner however, the onetime Apollo Creed is something of a more intriguing choice to take the reins for an episode. Though by no means untested as a director, Weathers has been limited mostly to the odd television episode over the years, having last helmed an episode of Hawaii Five-0's ninth season.

He's worked with no shortage of great filmmakers over his career though, and is sure to have picked up a few tricks of the trade during his lengthy career, which ensures his contribution has the potential to be a tantalising prospect.
