We’re mere months away from the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and we’re getting some casting news about Episode VIII. Director Rian Johnson is reportedly seeing a slew of actresses for roles in the new film, including Orphan Black‘s Tatiana Maslany, Jane the Virgin‘s Gina Rodriguez, and Bates Motel‘s Olivia Cooke.
According to The Wrap, the ladies will be doing chemistry reads with John Boyega by the end of September. No information about the role they’re up for. Disney had no comment. Who would you like to see in the film? Let us know in the comments.
Tatiana Maslany can rock any role she’s in. I’d love to see what she can do in a Star Wars film, if she feels the part is right for her.
