It wasn’t announced like July 20 21 or 22, that Lars Mikkelsen has been confirmed for the role of Grand Admiral Thrawn. A cool as it would be to see Cumberbatch’s take on the blue dude, the voice actor will be fine. Especially if they just put him in a face mocap CGI mask which will likely be what happens. Love action Aladdin bee confirmed as Ezra. CONFIRMED. Article is only one day old and already OUTDATED.

Benedict Cumberbatch as Thrawn seems fine… a bit too young for the time period but not by too much. Great actor too.
Brie Larson as Mara Jade Skywalker is a horrible miscasting though. Mara Jade Skywalker is supposed to be likeable and Brie has an army of haters. Worse Brie fails to ever convey all of Mara’s subtleties. Mara is a very vulnerable character who starts to question how badly she was misled. While all Brie can do is act like the most superior person in the room they’re basically the exact opposite personality.
I like the idea of Cumberbatch as Thrawn but Brie Larson as Mara Jade? Nah, she can’t act and she sucked as Captain Marvel. Try these:
Natalie Dormer
Rose Leslie
Kaya Scodelario
Alice eve
Sophie Turner
Zoe Saldana (If RDJ can play a black guy, why can’t she play a whiter version of herself ??)
Any of these are better options than Brie Larson. She can’t even do a decent car commercial.
Right she’s an academy award winning actress and they’ve all won… Well nothing at all. Haters gonna hate, everyone has them can’t make casting decisions based on that
BRIE LARSON IS AN AMAZING CAPT MARVEL!
MARA JADE IS MY FAVE CHARACTER FROM STAR WARS THAT HAS NOT APPEARED IN THE FILMS.
BRIE LARSON AS MARA JADE = MAKES MY HEART SMILE IN ANTICIPATION! BRILLIANT CASTING!
You clearly never watched her Oscar winning performance in Room. Definitely a role in which she shows a great deal of vulnerability. I think it’s unfortunate that Captain Marvel wasn’t better edited. If they had simply run the story in chronological order instead of jumping around and making her background all mysterious, it would have served the story and her character’s personality so much better. She’d have been a much more likable character and the story would have struck a better chord.
No body wants to see Brie Larson as Mara Jade. She would be terrible in that role. Mara was a force sensitive former spy for the Emperor so, as another comment stated, perhaps someone like Scarlett Jo who has played Black Widow would be better. Mara is essentially jedi Black Widow. I suggest to check out Michelle C. Smith on YouTube. She is already a bada** with a lightsaber, a trained stunt person, and red headed..
I have to agree with JT. What began as typically Saturday morning cartoons with extremely limited budgets always seemed like some sort of coo when they would actually get the live-action actor to provide the cartoon character voice.
I think it is fine to look at animated series (and video games as well) as an alternative reality where you don’t expect big names to appear on the voice credits.
Toy Story was one of the few animations that featured an all-star cast of voices and I would have to argue vigorously that Toy Story could have been just as good with alternate voicers.
I suppose we can somewhat credit Disney/Pixar with putting the extra cash into animation to bring these recognizable voices into the audio realm of animation, but it is arguable whether it really makes that much of a difference. IMHO
So you’re point is that insiders liked her.. so that somehow equates to her being good at acting?
Look through the plethora of comments who couldn’t stand her character.. but I guess the fans opinions don’t matter if Hollywood tells you to think differently.
Amen to that. Hollywood insiders may drool over Brie but fans showed their disgust with the Capt Marvel character through the countless critical reviews from the avg person.
Some will just appeal to authority and say “Brie is so good bc incestuous Hollywood thinks so” but those people ignore anything they do not want to hear/see.
??? Brie is not a good likable actress, i could of died in peace without watching her on the MCU! Now she wants to ruin Star Wars for me too!???♂️…I hope it’s just hot air, and not actual news, but if she does…..I’m moving my viewing hours, money and art to DC! And give Batman a second chance!! ?????⚡?????✒?
Exactly, it’s just a Right-Wing snowflakes wet dream every time they talk about the removal of Brie Larson. Who is perfect for the role & I hope they go back to her mohawk with a mask look?????

So this popped up and I was like NO WAY then I searched it up on a few different plat forms and it’s false so don’t show me anything else that ain’t true
Can people stop hiring Larson so she can fade into obscurity? I don’t know who the people are who are asking for her to play MJ, but I have never met one.
Thats quite the leap and makes no 0 sense? The only way it would have anything to do with Star Wars, is it it meant they was on that project when the what if voice recording was done….

Cumberbatch as Thrawn?
I’d be down with that!
Larson as Mara Jade?
No thanks. She’s too wooden and stiff.
ScarJo would be better!

@JAY, This is extremely accurate. I don’t understand Disney’s casting with Larson…

Scarlet Johansson would be a better Mara Jade

Lars Mikkleson will play Thrawn. This is the way!

Brie Larson cannot act. Not even slightly. She doesn’t need to be ruining star wars movies too.
Primogen
Brie Larson’s acting is so bad, she won a Best Actress Academy Award.
Cage
So you’re point is that insiders liked her.. so that somehow equates to her being good at acting?
Look through the plethora of comments who couldn’t stand her character.. but I guess the fans opinions don’t matter if Hollywood tells you to think differently.
You Can Google It.
those insiders being the film industry itself, including actors and others who work on films.
So basically, her peers.
Finn G
The award means so little these days. Larsen is a pathetic hack. No interested.
Cory
Amen to that. Hollywood insiders may drool over Brie but fans showed their disgust with the Capt Marvel character through the countless critical reviews from the avg person.
Some will just appeal to authority and say “Brie is so good bc incestuous Hollywood thinks so” but those people ignore anything they do not want to hear/see.
Rahm
Yeah. The movie only made over a billion dollars. They really showed their hate for it with their money.
Primogen
Nonsense! It doesn’t take much time to do voice-over recordings. Many actors have done so while filming movies or televisions series.

Hey! Big right winger here that always thought Brie was perfect as Captin Marvel. Of course, she’s just perfect to begin with
