Popular actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead (10 Cloverfield Lane, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Birds of Prey) has officially been cast in the Star Wars universe.
Winstead has been cast in an unknown role in upcoming Mandalorian spinoff, Ahsoka, which will star Rosario Dawson reprising her role as the live-action version of Anakin Skywalker’s former Padawan Ahsoka Tano.
The actress has joined the budding cast of Ahsoka, the next Star Wars live-action series gearing up to go into production at Lucasfilm and Disney+…
…Hayden Christensen is reprising the role of Anakin Skywalker for the series, which is set five years after the events of Return of the Jedi, with Ukrainian actress Ivanna Sakhno and Australian thespian Natasha Liu Bordizzo also slated to be on the call sheet.
Bordizzo will play Star Wars Rebels character Sabine Wren in her live-action debut. Furthermore, Aladdin (2019) leading man Mena Massoud is expected to make his first Star Wars franchise appearance as Ahsoka’s fellow Jedi Knight Ezra Bridger.
Ahsoka — which is likely to officially introduce time travel to the Star Wars story via the World Between Worlds — is expected to pick up where Filoni’s “Chapter 13: The Jedi” left off.
In the installment, after titular Mandalorian Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) teams up with Tano against all odds — as he says, “A Mandalorian and a Jedi? They’ll never see it coming.” — to defeat Corvus Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto), Elsbeth confirms that she’s not the one pulling the strings on her planet after all.
At this time, it is unknown if the World Between Worlds will allow Winstead’s new character to interact with the actress’s real-life boyfriend, Ewan McGregor.
