Star Wars: Andor Series Actor Teases Mysterious New Character


It might still be a long wait for Andor but Stellan Skarsgard is already hyping up the new Star Wars series. The Dune actor has shared new details about his upcoming Disney+ show, revealing something unexpected about his mysterious character in the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story spin-off.

We're already met Cassian Andor in Rogue One but we didn't really get enough time to truly know the character considering that he and his team were on an important mission that led to their shocking deaths. Luckily, we'll get to learn a whole lot more about Cassian in his upcoming spin-off series. In addition to that, we're meeting a mysterious new character who may not be who he seems.

Skarsgard recently spoke to Screenrant where he admitted to being excited about being a part of Andor.

"The writing is really good. It's the same writer that did Rogue One. And also to work with Diego Luna, who's an old friend. So I was excited by that," Skarsgard said. The Mamma Mia! star then revealed something interesting about the character he portrays.

"My character is... Well, you'll see. It's fun to play because he has a lot of different faces to show," Skarsgård teased.

That's an interesting tease worthy of a space crime caper like Andor. It is still unclear whether Skarsgard is playing a villain or someone who is on Cassian's side. Either way, we can't wait to learn more about the series soon.

The Andor series will also star Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, and Genevieve O'Reilly. The show takes place several years before the events in Rogue One and could reveal how Cassian ended up working with the Rebellion.

Andor has not yet been given an official release date. However, it is already expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2022.
