Favreau, who is writing and executive producing the Star Wars series for Disney's upcoming streaming service Disney+, kicked off the Marvel cinematic universe in 2008 with Iron Man. He also directed its sequel, Iron Man 2.
Joe and Anthony Russo have directed Captain America: The Winter Solider, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and the upcoming fourth Avengers film. Waititi has helmed Thor: Ragnarok while Reed has helmed Ant-Man and its sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Waititi is set to direct an episode of The Mandalorian alongside Dave Filoni, Deborah Chow, Rick Famuyiwa and Bryce Dallas Howard.
The Mandalorian is set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. The program's title refers to those from the planet of Mandalore, the home world of bounty hunters Jango Fett and his son Boba Fett.
Disney released the first photo from the series in October, featuring a character that is wearing armor similar to the kind worn by Jango and Boba Fett.
Game of Thrones and Narcos star Pedro Pascal is reportedly up for the lead role in The Mandalorian.
