    Shared on the DisneyPlus show’s official Twitter account, the new video hints at what fans could expect in the much-anticipated season and features appearances from baby Yoda.
    Sep 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ahead of its October premiere, DisneyPlus’ “The Mandalorian” has released the first trailer of the much-anticipated season 2 for viewing pleasure. Shared on the show’s official Twitter account, the new video hints at what could be expected in the upcoming season and features appearances from baby Yoda.
    The trailer opens with the Armorer, who tells the titular character, “Show me the one who’s safety deemed such destruction.” She then adds, “You must reunite it with its own kind.”
    “The songs of aeons past tell of battles of Mandalore the Great and an order of sorcerers called Jedi,” she continues saying in voiceover as baby Yoda is glimpsed briefly. Mandalorian then asks, “You expect me to search the galaxy and deliver this creature to a race of enemy sorcerers?” to which she responds, “This is the way.”
    Elsewhere in the trailer, the Mandalorian is seen going to some dark place and dangerous port which has ocean-going ships docked, instead of craft set for space. Gore Keresh later is heard telling the Mandalorian, “You know this is no place for a child,” referring to baby Yoda. However, the Mandalorian insists, “Wherever I go, he goes.”
    Season 2 of “The Mandalorian” is set to follow the “Star Wars” spin-off’s titular character (Pedro Pascal) as he continues to protect The Child. He also attempts to discover its origins whilst dealing with new villain Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito), an ex-Imperial officer who wants to capture baby Yoda for his own sinister reasons.
    Joining Pascal, Carl Weathers will return to play bounty hunter boss Greef Karga. Meanwhile, Gina Carano will reprise her character Cara Dune in the new season.
    Pascal, who previously starred on “Game of Thrones” as Oberyn Martell a.k.a. the Red Viper, recently revealed that the forthcoming season would have “some pretty mind-blowing things” for fans. “I think expectations will be exceeded. [Fans’] love of ‘Star Wars’ will be injected with steroids,” he teased.

    Disney+ Reveals Release Dates for 'Mandalorian' Season 2, 'WandaVision' Debut and More

    Disney+

    In related news, the new streaming service has successfully amassed 28.6 million Disney+ subscribers in the first three months since it was lauched on November 12, 2019.
    Feb 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – New details about Marvel Studio’s upcoming TV series on Disney+ are finally here. CEO Bob Iger confirms on a call with investors during the company’s first quarter earnings report that “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and “WandaVision” are set to arrive in the coming months.
    Iger reveals that “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, which stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, will debut in August. Meanwhile, “WandaVision” is set premiere in December. However, Iger doesn’t mention details about “Loki”, though previous report said that the Tom Hiddleston-starring TV show will greet fans in 2021.
    In addition, Iger talks about the release date for the sophomore season of “The Mandalorian”. The “Star Wars” live-action TV series, which became a massive hit for the streaming service, has been confirmed for an October release date.
    In related news, Disney+ amassed 28.6 million Disney+ subscribers in the first three months since it was lauched on November 12, 2019. “We had a strong first quarter, highlighted by the launch of Disney+, which has exceeded even our greatest expectations,” Iger said on the call.
    This arrives after the streaming site offered fans the first footage of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, “WandaVision” and “Loki” through a Super Bowl ad. The video opened with Falcon a.k.a. Sam Wilson (Mackie) launching Captain America’s signature shield. The new footage also sees Wilson and Stan’s Bucky Barner a.k.a. Winter Soldier reuniting. It also seems that villainous character Zemo, who appeared in “Captain America: Civil War”, makes a return on the upcoming show.
    In the very short video, the three shows are spliced into one. It opens with Falcon a.k.a. Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) launching Captain America’s signature shield. The new footage also sees Wilson and Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barner a.k.a. Winter Soldier reuniting. It also seems that villainous character Zemo, who appeared in “Captain America: Civil War”, makes a return on the upcoming show.
    Later, fans are given a glimpse of Wanda a.k.a. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) having a sweet moment with each other in a house. “WandaVision” was previously described at Disney’s biennial D23 convention as a surreal sitcom-like take on their relationship.
    Concluding the show is a look at “Loki” featuring Hiddleston reprising his role as the titular character. “Loki” unfortunately has the shortest duration in the already brief video. It remains to be seen where the scene is taken but Loki can be heard saying, “I’m gonna burn this place to the ground,” while creepily smiling.
