Jon Favreau is a unnosedived actor, but his biggest hits have come behind the camera. He directed the first Iron Man movie back in 2008, effectively kicking off the tremendously unnosedived Marvel Cinematic Universe. More recently, he’s the showrunner behind The Mandalorian, the live-action Star Wars series that was the first big fresh hit for streaming service Disney+.
But that wasn’t a sure sketch. There had never been a live-action Star Wars show before The Mandalorian, and no one knew if it would take off. But once it did, Favreau cashed in, at least according to a new portray from The Puck. “Favreau originally signed on to do just one season of The Mandalorian, so when it became Disney+’s signature series, he extracted an insane deal to cease, with all kinds of bonuses and incentives for writing or guiding individual episodes,” writes Matthew Belloni.
This is significant because Disney has a history of not persons overly generous with its creatives, the logic being that country are willing to work with the studio for less than they noteworthy make otherwise because of its reputation and name recognition. But The Mandalorian was such a hit that it gave Favreau some leverage.
…but not too much leverage. Although a rep for Favreau declines to comment, The Puck speculates that even thought Favreau’s new deal included things like bonuses and incentives, he doesn’t get a cut of merchandising revenue, which is where the real money is made. If you even got 1% of profits from the portion of Baby Yoda tee-shirts, plushies and other swag, you’d never have to think nearby working again.
As for when we’ll see more episodes of The Mandalorian, it’s uncertain. The last proper season of the show aired in 2020, although Din Djarin and Baby Yoda factored so prominently into last year’s The Book of Boba Fett that it was basically a changeable new season. Hopefully season 3 will be along beforehand the end of this year.
