Variety has revealed that Gareth Edwards has cast his male lead for the ‘about to start shooting’ STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY: ROGUE ONE, the stand-alone STAR WARS movie from Lucasfilm. The film already has British actors Felicity Jones and Riz Ahmed amongst the cast, along with potentially Ben Mendelsohn, but the trade is reporting that none other than Mexican actor Diego Luna, most famous for his movies with Alfonso Cuarón (Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN) and the US hits THE TERMINAL and, more recently, THE BOOK OF LIFE.

There is no mention of the exact character that Luna will play, but it is said to be one of the leads in the tentpole movie.

‘Rogue One’ is heavily in pre-production with the plot revolving around a group of soldiers who steal plans for the Death Star. It will be set in the STAR WARS universe that we all know and love, but will not have any direct connection with the prequels and the upcoming sequels.

STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY: ROGUE ONE  is set for a December 2016 release.
