ANDOR Reportedly Bringing Back Ben Mendelsohn as Director Orson Krennic — GeekTyrant


According to a new report from The Direct, Ben Mendelsohn is set to reprise his Rogue One role as Director Orson Krennic in Lucasfilm’s Star Wars spin-off series Star Wars: Andor.

With the series set five years before the events of Rogue One, it would make sense to see Krennic again. It’s great news if it’s true! Mendelsohn was great as Krennic, we just don’t know how big of a role he might play.

The series stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor and it will tell his story leading up to the events of Rogue One, which is one of the better Star Wars films that Lucasfilm produced.

The rest of the cast for the series includes Genevieve O’Reilly, who will reprise her role as Mon Mothma (Rogue One, Tin Can), Denise Gough (Collett, Angels in America), Kyle Soller (Anna Karenina, The Titan), Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve), and it was also previously announced that Stellan Skarsgard (Thor, Good Will Hunting) has joined the series, along with Adria Arjona (6 Underground). Jimmy Smits and Alistair Petrie were also in talks to join as Bail Organa and General Draven. Forest Whitaker will also be back as Saw Gerrera.

Toby Haynes (Doctor Who, Black Mirror, Sherlock, Brexit, Utopia) will direct the series from scripts written by Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler), Beau Willimon (House of Cards), and Stephen Schiff (The Americans).

What do you think about the possibility of seeing Ben Mendelsohn coming back for more Star Wars action?
