The New Trailer For The Mandalorian Is Here

A thrilling new teaser trailer for upcoming Disney+ series The Mandalorian has arrived, and it gives us our first look at Ming-Na Wen's mysterious assassin character.

The 30-second clip consists mostly of previously seen footage – including sweeping looks at the Outer Rim's landscapes and the Mandalorian's weaponry and clothes, as well as a few of the creatures, ships, people, and battles he'll face.

At one point in the new teaser trailer, the Mandalorian appears before a group of aliens and humans. Among them is Carl Weathers' Greef Carga, whom we know works with the Mandalorian and heads up a bounty hunter guild. The trailer also sees the return of several scout troopers on speeder bikes, plus the Taika Waititi-voiced IG-11 rapidly spinning and unleashing a burst of plasma energy shots around it.

The crowning moment of the new Mandalorian teaser trailer, however, is a brief but punchy exchange that sees Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress Ming-Na Wen deliver a single, goosebumps-inducing line to the titular character.

It's a funny nod to the fan-favorite villain-esque Boba Fett, who wore almost identical armor to the new Disney+ series character. But, as showrunner Jon Favreau has clarified, Fett wasn't an actual Mandalorian and Pedro Pascal's character is.

Up to this point, not much has been revealed about Ming-Na Wen's character, Fennec Shand. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Wen revealed several details about her role. Wen described the gun-toting mercenary as similar to Han Solo in that she starts with no beliefs in any causes but her own. According to Wen:

"We got our inspiration really from the name. The idea of a fennec fox came to mind. I just love that whole image with the name."

Fennec's original concept design apparently gave her a more disheveled look, but she appears in the new Mandalorian trailer as much more put-together. That's due to Wen, who had a hand in shaping her character's appearance to be more fitting of the fox imagery. Wen said:

"At first, the idea was maybe just have her hair be loose, unkempt kind of thing. 'And I thought, well, she's going to be wearing a helmet and she's this stealth assassin. How great would it be if her hair has a bit of the fennec fox architecture to it?' So the hairstylist came up with this great braiding system, that just gives an idea of these triangular points. Like her ears."

Due to the darkness of the shot in the trailer in which Fennec appears, you can't quite see the more intricate elements of Fennec's hairstyle, but Wen revealed that her braid will be threaded with orange strands as a callback to her character's fox inspiration. Expect her outfits to feature these color elements as well. Keep watching the video to see the new trailer for The Mandalorian is here!
