This is the way!

This weekend, Brendan Wayne will make his long-awaited Australian debut appearance at Supanova Comic Con & Gaming in Sydney (21–22 June) and Perth (28–29 June).

Best known as the man behind the helmet in Star Wars: The Mandalorian, Wayne has brought the iconic bounty hunter Din Djarin to life on screen across three seasons of the hit series, as well as in The Book of Boba Fett—and he’s set to return in the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie.

The grandson of Hollywood legend John Wayne, Brendan has carved out his own career in film and television, with roles in Ahsoka, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Cowboys & Aliens, and more.

The Mandalorian himself, Brendan Wayne, joins us on the Everblack Podcast to talk about his trip Down Under for his appearance at Supanova Comic Con & Gaming in Sydney (21–22 June) and Perth (28–29 June), working with Sigourney Weaver in the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu movie, his memories of Carl Weathers, his hopes to one day collaborate with Taylor Sheridan, future plans, and more.
