Prequel movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the rationale we now have standout Disney+ series Andor. Now, a report says one of the movie’s key villains could issue into the much-anticipated second season of the Star Wars present: Ben Mendelsohn’s formidable Imperial weapons developer Orson Krennic.
You keep in mind Krennic, after all; he’s the man who forces scientist Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) again into engaged on his pet venture, a sure top-secret mega-weapon for the Empire that has the flexibility to annihilate total planets. Whereas Lucasfilm has but to formally announce Mendelsohn (final seen on Disney+ in Marvel sequence Secret Invasion) as a part of Andor season two’s solid, it definitely is sensible, as his character’s timeline aligns precisely with Cassian Andor’s story main as much as the occasions of Rogue One.
And now considered one of Andor season two’s administrators, Alonso Ruizpalacios, has seemingly let it slip that Mendelsohn’s Krennic is certainly going to be within the combine. Chatting with the Playlist, the Ruizpalacios was cautious to not reveal many particular particulars, although he apparently named names, telling the outlet “directing episodes of the sequence was a deal with, particularly directing heavyweight actors like, ‘Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker, and Ben Mendelsohn,’ presumably not realizing he was revealing one thing of a spoiler.” Skarsgård and Whitaker (reprising his personal Rogue One character, Noticed Gerrera) have been in season one of many Disney+ sequence; Mendelsohn was not.
io9 has reached out to Lucasfilm for affirmation, and can replace this submit if we hear again. Within the meantime, we’ll take any Andor scrap to feast on whereas we proceed ready for its return—probably, hopefully, in 2025.
