Ming-Na Wen confirms her role in “The Bad Batch” series
Disney Investor Day revealed a first look at The Clone Wars sequel series The Bad Batch and about halfway through the sizzle real, we are given a super quick appearance from what looked like Fennec Shand.
The Mandalorian actress Ming-Na Wen confirmed on Twitter that she will be in The Bad Batch voicing her character Fennec Shand.
“Do you know how long I’ve had to keep silent about Fennec coming back?” Wen said in an interview with Star Wars. “This is the first time I’ve been able to talk about it!”
Wen first appeared in The Mandalorian in Season One as a bounty hunter on Tatooine being tracked down by Mando and rookie Toro Calican. The episode ends with Calican shooting Shand and a mysterious figure approaching her body which is later revealed to be Boba Fett.
Shand appears once again in Season Two of The Mandalorian with Boba after he helped her mend from the gunshot and is now aiding Mando in getting Grogu back from Moff Gideon.
Shand’s role in The Bad Batch has not been identified yet but we’ll certainly get an early look of her bounty-hunting days and potentially the work she did before Tatooine.
The Bad Batch will premiere on Disney+ in 2021.
