Star Wars actress Katee Sackhoff promises series return amid The Mandalorian and Grogu rumours
The 45-year-old actress portrayed the Mandalorian warrior in TV shows like 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars', 'Star Wars: Rebels' and 'The Mandalorian', and has now confirmed fans haven't seen the end of the character.
Speaking to Screen Rant, Sackhoff said: "You will see her again in some form. That's all you need to know. [Lucasfilm Chief Creative Officer] Dave Filoni cannot get rid of me, because Bo-Katan is based off of his wife, so I've got some job security."
Bo-Katan had been rumoured to be involved in 'The Mandalorian and Grogu', though Sackhoff insisted she "has not been in the armour in 2025".
Even so, the character may still appear in the upcoming movie, as filming for 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' wrapped in December last year.
As well as Sackhoff, Giancarlo Esposito - who portrayed Moff Gideon in 'The Mandalorian' - recently teased his 'Star Wars' villain may return in some capacity in the future.
He told Empire magazine: "There is a big movie coming out that's focusing on Mando and The Child. I can't say it'll be that.
"But I hope to be able to join that franchise again, because I think there's more road for Moff Gideon."
The 'Breaking Bad' actor, 67, also said he believed 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' could be the start of a new 'Star Wars' trilogy.
Speaking at Dragon Con, he said: "As in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney will figure out how to join all of these characters into one really great movie or TV show. That's my sense of where it will go.
"Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have a new vision, continuing on with a 'Mandalorian' movie. My sense is that it's all going to converge at one point or another and we're going to have another set of… [a] trilogy, or more, of films."
'The Mandalorian and Grogu' will see Pedro Pascal reprise his role as the titular warrior alongside Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White in another galaxy-spanning adventure.
While 'The Mandalorian' will finally be making its cinematic debut with 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' next year, Jon Favreau - who co-directed and co-wrote the show and movie with Filoni - admitted he "felt disappointed" the sub-franchise couldn't initially be shared on the big screen.
He told Collider: "The big difference is the amount of construction you can do.
"The process is so long compared to television that you can plan, look at it, discuss, use multiple stages, indoor and outdoor sets, do construction, you can do stop-motion. There are a lot of things that you have an opportunity to do because of the timeframe that you would never be able to do to the same extent on a small screen.
"Although I'm very proud, I have to say that whenever we looked at the stuff that we made for the show, or in an environment where we shared it with fans, it always felt cinematic.
"I felt disappointed that we couldn't share it with more people that way."

Paul Walter Hauser revealed Fantastic Four role to 'dozens' of random people
Paul Walter Hauser told "70 or 80 random people" about his appearance in Fantastic Four. The 38-year-old actor's appearance as antihero Mole Man was kept out of the trailers for the Marvel blockbuster in order to surprise audiences but despite the notorious secrecy surrounding MCU projects, Paul admitted he had let the news slip to "several dozen people" before the movie was released. He told Britain's GQ magazine: "For the most part I was zip-lipped, and everybody understands at this point. They all know if you do Star Wars, or Marvel, you can't talk about it. "But if I'm being honest - and I pride myself on my honesty nowadays - I probably told 70 or 80 random people, be it family members or fans. "I'm not gonna lie and say I told literally no one. I told several dozen people. "But at the same time, they weren't blabbering it out, or giving it to news outlets. "They were respectful, and excited, and what-have-you. "But if a little kid comes up to me in a wheelchair with a comic book, and they're like, 'Are you Mole Man?' I would say something like, 'I don't know man, I hear there is a mole…' And wink at them, just to get them excited." The Black Bird star doesn't think Marvel bosses would be too upset with his lack of discretion because they have bigger things to think about. He said: "It's kind of like jaywalking, too. It's like, you can get [arrested] for that, but it's like, hopefully they're catching the bad guys. "And when I look at Kevin Feige and the Marvel folks, I go, I think they're probably busy with some other stuff. They're probably not gonna chase me down and scalp me, or shoot a little [dart] into my neck." Meanwhile, the Black Bird star has also been busy shooting Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, in which he plays recording engineer Mike Batlan, and he explained how he largely left lead star Jeremy Allen White alone during breaks in filming because he could see how much he was trying to juggle. He said: "Jeremy was very dialed in, and it was not in a showy actor way; it was not in some puffy, performative nature. It was just very much Jeremy Allen White in a mode of operation where he had a lot he had to think about. "Physicality, dialogue, the look, the voice, singing the real songs, playing the real music. It was a lot. "I usually try to bond with my male co-stars on a movie, like Sebastian Stan on I, Tonya, or Sam Rockwell on Richard Jewell. But I purposely just stayed out of his way, because I recognised how exhausted he was, and that he was trying to be a dad to his daughter, while also starring in this massive movie."

Worthington has no problems keeping up with Avatar plot
Sam Worthington finds it "very easy" to keep track of the Avatar plot. The 49-year-old actor will reprise his role as protagonist Jake Sully in the upcoming movie Avatar: Fire and Ash and admits he doesn't have difficulties following the story in James Cameron's sprawling sci-fi franchise. Speaking to Empire magazine, Worthington said: "I've always found it very easy. I love being back in that Volume. I go onto other (projects), and whether they're big movies or big TV series, nothing compares. "I always say it's the curse that Jim has given me, and it's a beautiful curse, but nothing ever compares to when I film on Avatar. It feels very right and safe like home. "Maybe it takes a while to warm to who Jake is and his spirit, but not much." Avatar: Fire and Ash – the third movie in the series – will be released in December, but Worthington revealed his first day of work on the project took place eight years ago. "I think 2017 is when we first started. We did 2 and 3 concurrently. And then I did some on the stage not long ago, sometime this year," the Everest star said. "I always say we're like doctors on call. If Jim calls today, I'll get up and go." Worthington admits it takes him longer to get into the character of Jake now as it has been well over a decade since the release of the original film. "When we did the first one, I was 29 and I'd just dive into anything. That's Jake. There's no holding back; he'll do whatever is necessary with no regard for his own safety," he said. "I'm a bit older now, so it takes me a while to get that mentality. I love playing the character because of that reason. He's not as cautious or as anxious as I am in real life." Oona Chaplin and David Thewlis join the ensemble cast for Avatar: Fire and Ash and Worthington said the pair slotted seamlessly into the sci-fi franchise.

I don't understand the idea of sitting in a trailer while people of that talent are doing their job. "Oona and David, they came in, it took them a microsecond to assess how we do it, and then they just played. How they pushed this, it's incredible. You're after people that are fearless in that Volume. "And Jim gives you that confidence. I've always said: he raises the bar and gives you the confidence to jump over it. That's what he does."
