With the premiere of The Mandalorian now less than two weeks away, the promotional machine for the series is in full swing. Today, Vanity Fair revealed a new teaser trailer for the series, which features the first time we hear from two characters. One being the ugnaught Kuiil (voiced by Nick Nolte), and the other being Fennec Shand (played by Ming-Na Wen). Wen also sat down with Vanity Fair writer Anthony Breznican to talk about her character and the series.
First, check out the new teaser below,
The character is described in Vanity Fair as "an assassin", who Wen says is, "loyal to herself." But the character also, according to the actress, "has a good sense of humor about it all as well, which is also fun.
You can’t really pinpoint which direction she’s going to go."
Wen also spoke about how the name Fennec Shand relates to the character, telling Vanity Fair,
"We got our inspiration really from the name. The idea of a fennec fox came to mind. She’s tricky, and yet she’s able to maneuver and survive, and be
stealthy—so very graceful and agile. I just love that whole image with
the name."
The fennec fox also helped inspired Shand's look, Wen explained,
"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."
The Mandalorian is set following the events of Return of the Jedi and follows the adventures of a "lone gunfighter", as he navigates the galaxy in the post-Empire/early days of the New Republic. The series debuts on Disney+ on November 12th. If you haven't seen the old trailer, you can check it out below,
