Reports are suggesting that Ben Mendelsohn and Forest Whitaker may have been cast in the upcoming Disney+ Andor series, to reprise their roles as Orson Krennic and Saw Gerrera respectively.
Now, actor Stellan Skarsgård has apparently told Swedish radio that he’s played scenes opposite Rogue One actor Forest Whitaker – known in the Star Wars universe as Saw Gerrera, who has not been officially confirmed to be part of this show’s cast. That’s per r/StarWarsLeaks, where user ‘aprentize’ says that Skarsgård mentions he’s had at least two very good scenes with Whitaker, though most of his scenes are with Diego Luna’s titular character.
Confession time: we don’t speak Swedish, so we’re taking their word for it, but the actor does indeed discuss Whitaker at the 12-minute mark, after mentioning Luna – this is in response to a question about working on the Andor series.
Elsewhere, The Direct says its sources have confirmed that Rogue One villain Orson Krennic (played by actor Ben Mendelsohn) will also appear in the show. That doesn’t seem out of the realms of possibility either – Mendelsohn is preparing to play Skrull leader Talos again in Marvel’s Secret Invasion, another future Disney Plus series.
Until we hear this news officially, take it with a grain of salt…. but here’s hoping!
