Badass Digest reports that Nightcrawler’s Riz Ahmed is in talks to join the Rogue One ensemble. They also compare the film to Dirty Dozen and Magnificent Seven – in the sense that we can expect a sizable main cast – so I expect we’ll be seeing quite a few new names before filming begins in a few months. Hell, not long after the Ahmed news dropped, The Wrap reported that Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games) “is being eyed” for a role.
Felicity Jones is so far the only announced cast member for the film, but we’ve also heard that Ben Mendelsohn is in play. The film features a “band of resistance fighters” who steal the Death Star plans, we learned on Sunday.
