This is pretty big news… well, at least as big as when Matt Smith was cast in a Terminator movie. and we all know who that worked out.
News broke earlier tonight that formed Doctor Who star Matt Smith has been cast in a significant role in Star Wars: Episode IX.
Now, there was a lot of scuttlebutt a few weeks ago when the legendary Richard E Grant was cast in the movie, that he may be playing Grand Admiral Thrawn (he’s not) but can we just say, while it’s unlikely, Smith would be PERFECT for the role of Thrawn.
But hey, we don’t know anything yet except we really like Smith and look forward to see what he brings to the galaxy far, far away.
He joins Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Keri Russell, Richard E Grant, Dominic Monaghan, Naomi Ackie. Billy Dee Williams, Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels.
Now THAT’S a cast!
Star Wars: Episode IX arrives in our galaxy in December 2020
