The Mandalorian season 3 is currently in production, much to the relief of eager fans. Sasha Banks is one of the cast members of the star-studded ensemble and her character had a memorable impact on the show for fans. Now, Banks has spoken about her possible return for season 3 of the Star Wars series.
The Mandalorian debuted in 2019 and quickly became a fan-favorite entry in the Star Wars franchise. While production on season 3 was put on the backburner for The Book of Boba Fett, cameras are rolling on The Mandalorian again, and fans are anxious to see who will and won't return in the new season.
For those who don't know, Banks plays a character by the name of Koska Reeves, who is one of the right-hand soldiers of Bo-Katan Kryze (played by Katee Sackhoff). Banks spoke to Bleacher Report about whether or not she'll return for another season of The Mandalorian. "First of all, thanks for trying to get that out, but I'm not on the next season," the wrestler said. "But it was incredible being on The Mandalorian on Star Wars. To be on a franchise that is so huge and so loved, just look at the reception from fans outside of the WWE Universe. It was the best feeling of all time. The projection of that show was overwhelming. I legit felt like I was in a galaxy so far, far away. I felt like I was on a different planet".
The actress admits that the show is something she will always take with her and that she learned a lot from acting, as she says it helped her confidence. Banks also noted that she knew about the Jedi cameo in The Mandalorian season 3 finale, which many actors said they didn't know about until the episode was aired live on Disney Plus. Banks said in regards to the cameo, “I was in the scene as well, so I had to know a little bit, I read the script...But it was so cool watching it as well because every time The Mandalorian came on, it was always on a Friday so it was right before I went to work at SmackDown. I was watching as a fan with everybody else and freaking out even though I'm on the show."
It's always good to see an actor not be too big to be a fan of the show they're working on. Banks did well in her performance, she held it down as her character, and her portrayal was very convincing. Banks may not be in season 3 but that doesn't mean she won't return at some point down the line, maybe even in another Star Wars project.
Star Wars has been doing great at making more moves. Disney and Lucasfilm have been dropping many new projects in the animated, television, and movie space. Many expect to see The Mandalorian grow more and more each year, so don't be surprised when season 3 does very well when it arrives.
The Mandalorian season 3 is currently in production.
