Elysium’s Diego Luna will star in Rogue One
While Lucafilm may be currently promoting the holiday release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but Director Gareth Edwards is obviously looking ahead to the future for the first ever stand-alone release, Star Wars: Rogue One. The Disney-distributed project has already tapped Felicity Jones as the female lead, but we’ve now learned who will be starring alongside her. Rogue One, which is set to take place between Episode III and Episode IV, will now see Diego Luna as the male lead to join Jones, Riz Ahmed and Ben Mendelsohn – who’s set to be official villain. Look for more details to emerge in the coming month, including a trailer for the exploration beyond the core Star Wars saga and look for the film in theaters December 16, 2016.
