Martin Scorsese is one of the true masters of cinema, and a living legend amongst filmmakers. He's also known for his occasionally harsh words when it comes to blockbuster movies, famously describing Marvel Studios films as "theme parks" in 2019. So it was perhaps surprising to learn that the great auteur has a cameo in upcoming Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu, where he will be voicing an alien shopkeeper – as seen in the movie's trailer.
"I know him, and I'm friendly with him when I see him," director Jon Favreau told SFX magazine, in a feature on the upcoming new film. "But also I'm a fan, so I get a little tongue-tied, to be honest with you, when I'm around him and his generation of filmmakers that were so influential on me."
