Actor Ben Mendelsohn Joining Cast of Rogue One?
Via Deadline.com:
Word is tha Ben Mendelsohn is circling a lead role alongside Felicity Jones in Rogue One, the Star Wars spinoff to be directed by Gareth Edwards. If Mendelsohn isn’t on your radar, he ought to be. The Aussie actor has been memorable in films that include Exodus: Gods And Kings, Killing Them Softly and The Dark Knight Rises. But he is overwhelmingly good in the stellar cast of the new Netflix series Bloodline, with a performance that has to put him smack in the middle of the Emmy discussion. As usual, Disney doesn’t comment on Star Wars business.
Rogue One, directed by Gareth Edwards, written by Chris Weitz and starring Felicity Jones is scheduled to be released on December 16th, 2016.
