Star Wars’ Rogue One to have Riz Ahmed co-starring, plus Sam Claflin to join?
Over the weekend during Star Wars Celebration, Gareth Edwards revealed a teaser for the upcoming Star Wars spin-off movie, Rogue One. So far we know that Felicity Jones is going to star, and the film will follow a group planning a heist to steal the Death Star plans.
Now according to Badass Digest, Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler) is in talks to co-star in the film with Jones. We also have a report from The Wrap saying that Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games, Snow White and the Huntsman) is in talks for a role. Badass Digest also reports that the cast will be large, similar to Dirty Dozen and Magnificent Seven.
Edwards also said that since it’s a Star Wars film, we’ll also be getting the “war” aspect as well.
Rogue One hits theaters on December 16, 2016.
