Jim Cummings Tells Fans to ‘Stay Tuned’ as ‘Hondo is not done yet’

Following on from comments made by Jim Cummings in April about an upcoming Hondo Ohnaka project, the voice actor has told The Direct to “stay tuned” as “Hondo is not done yet”, admitting “He’s one of my favorites”.

When promoting Andreas Deja: 30 Years of Disney Villains at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the legendary voice actor was asked whether Hondo might appear in Maul: Shadow Lord, a sequel to Lucasfilm’s animated series The Clone Wars, Jim Cummings winked while saying, “I think you’re gonna have to stay tuned, because Hondo is not done yet.”

Cummings went on to share what he loves about the “loveable rogue,” admitting, “He’s one of my favorites, because he’s a lovable rogue. You could probably actually trust him… He looks out for Ezra, and he looks out for the younglings, as they call them, and he won’t do anything to harm anybody. But I wouldn’t want to play cards with him.”

What do you think the project is? Could it be The Mandalorian and Grogu or perhaps the re-theming of Smuggler’s Run coming to Disneyland and Walt Disney World in May 2026.
