'The Mandalorian' Season 2 may bring back Ming-Na Wen and fix one of the biggest mistakes of Season 1

Appearing as the wanted criminal Fennec Shand, Wen delivered a strong performance in Season 1 but her role was pretty small and she was seemingly killed off in the very same episode where she debuted

There's a lot that the first season of 'The Mandalorian' got right from the depiction of the warrior tribes of Mandalore to the adorable Baby Yoda. But that said, there were some instances where Season 1 failed to live up to expectations.

One of the biggest mistakes the show made in the first season was how it handled the guest appearance by 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' star Ming-Na Wen. Appearing in the role of wanted criminal Fennec Shand, Wen delivered a strong performance but her role was pretty small and she was seemingly killed off in the very same episode where she debuted.

When last we saw her, Fennec was left for dead on Tatooine but we did see a shadowy figure approaching her, which does leave the door open for the character to return. Now a report from That Hashtag Show suggests she might actually return in Season 2 and that's bound to be welcome news for the fans. 

The final episode of the season introduced Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) as the main villain for the series so there's a chance he may have rescued Shand to use as a weapon against Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal). Then again, if Fennec was too far gone to be fully revived we may even see her return as a deadly cyborg, Darth Vader-style. Now wouldn't that be fun?

Considering how popular Ming-Na Wen is as an actor, it was certainly a mistake not to utilize her character to the max in Season 1. However, if these rumors are true, the show may just fix that mistake in Season 2 and give us a Fennec Shand we can all get excited about.

The cast for 'The Mandalorian' includes Pedro Pascal as the titular Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin / Mando, Gina Carano as Cara Dune, Carl Weathers as Greef Karga, Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon, and an adorable puppet as Baby Yoda. Rosario Dawson is also reportedly joining the show in Season 2 as fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano.

'The Mandalorian' Season 2 is expected to arrive in the Fall of 2020 but it may be delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
