Benicio Del Toro has already confirmed that we'll see him in Star Wars Episode VIII, but it sounds like he may not be as villainous as we all assumed after an interview which saw the actor seemingly confirm that he'll be playing a bad guy in the 2017 release. "I don't know if he's a villain," Del Toro teases in the video above. "People are saying that, but it's like they read a different script than I read. It's nice to keep people in the dark, a little bit of mystery is good. If they want to believe it’s the villain, then good." It could be that this is a bit of damage control on the Sicario star's part, but it's also possible that his character's allegiances won't be as black and white as some of the other heroes and villains of the Star Wars franchise. What do you guys think about his comments?
