According to The Hollywood Reporter, the famed bounty hunter Boba Fett will make an appearance in Disney+’s ‘The Mandalorian’ season two! Temuera Morrison famously played Jango Fett, the father of Boba Fett in 2002’s ‘Star Wars: Attack of the Clones’. Recently, he portrayed Jason Momoa’s father in 2018’s ‘Aquaman’.
Their sources say that Morrison will play Boba Fett, the famed bounty hunter who first appeared in 1980’s ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’ and who famously fell into the sarlacc pit in 1983’s ‘Star Wars: Return of the Jedi’.

This is awesome and exciting news for any ‘Star Wars’ fans and will hopefully cement Boba’s legacy as the ultimate bounty hunter.
