Who plays Koska Reeves in The Mandalorian?

Mercedes Varnado plays Koska Reeves in The Mandalorian. Reeves is a Mandalorian warrior and a member of the Nite Owls, the group associated with Bo-Katan Kryze.

Varnado is also widely known through professional wrestling. She performed under the ring name Sasha Banks and later used Mercedes Moné, making her appearance recognizable to audiences familiar with wrestling as well as Star Wars. Her casting is one reason Reeves attracted attention despite being a supporting character.

Koska Reeves first appears alongside Bo-Katan’s team in “Chapter 11: The Heiress.” She later returns in “Chapter 16: The Rescue” and in the third season, where Mandalorian factions continue negotiating leadership, loyalty, and control of their homeworld. Emily Swallow, Misty Rosas, and Katy O’Brian play different characters.
