Star Wars: Episode VIII have conversations about a role as a new villain
The makers of Star Wars: Episode VIII have had conversations with Benicio Del Toro about a role as a new villain, but he is far, far away from joining the galaxy.
(firmenpresse) - The makers of Star Wars: Episode VIII have had conversations with Benicio Del Toro about a role as a new villain, but he is far, far away from joining the galaxy.
When the Star Wars films (or any movie, for that matter) come together, the makers tend to talk with many, many potential stars. The bigger the film, the more scrutiny those conversations get. But keep in mind, J.J. Abrams also met with 12 Years a Slave’s Chiwetel Ejiofor about a role in The Force Awakens — among nearly every other high-profile actor — and sometimes those talks simply don’t go any further.
At a similar stage in the development of Star Trek Into Darkness, Del Toro was in talks to play Khan… a role that went to Benedict Cumberbatch.
The first report of Del Toro’s possible involvement came from The Wrap, which said he had been “offered” the role. Variety has since chimed in that Joaquin Phoenix is another possibility. (Fans may also remember when Phoenix was offered the lead in Marvel’s Doctor Strange… a role that went to Benedict Cumberbatch.)
What can a Star Wars fan trust? At this point, only that Episode VIII director and co-writer Rian Johnson is talking to some compelling possibilities for the next movie in the trilogy, which is set to hit theaters May 26, 2017.
Beyond that, we have to go with Yoda (again) on this one: “Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.”
Rian Johnson is directing the sci-fi sequel for Disney and Lucasfilm, which will release the movie in 2017
Benicio del Toro has the offer to play the villain in “Star Wars: Episode VIII,” multiple individuals familiar with casting process have told TheWrap. Discussions are still in the very early stages, but Disney and Lucasfilm are high on the Oscar-winning “Traffic” star.
A representative for Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Del Toro would be a strong fit for the sci-fi sequel, as he’s able to conjure menace on a whim. He’d also continue “Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams’ diverse vision for the “Star Wars” universe that will be led by John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac going forward.

Rian Johnson is directing “Star Wars: Episode VIII,” which is expected to start shooting early next year in advance of a May 26, 2017 release date. Ram Bergman is producing the film with Lucasfilm’s Kathy Kennedy.
Del Toro is already a member of the Disney family, having played a fun yet small role as The Collector in Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” though he has indicated that he may not return for the upcoming sequel due in 2017.

Del Toro won an Oscar for his supporting performance as an honest Mexican cop in Steven Soderbergh’s “Traffic.” He’ll soon be seen alongside Emily Blunt in Denis Villeneuve’s crime drama “Sicario” and in an untitled Terrence Malick movie.
