Forest Whitaker Joins The Casts Of STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE And THE CROW
Taken 3 star Forest Whitaker is in talks to join the casts of both Gareth Edwards' Star Wars: Rogue One and the upcoming remake of The Crow directed by Corin Hardy (which will see Jack Huston take on the titular role). Hit the jump for details...
According to Variety, Forest Whitaker is set to join the cast of the first Star Wars Anthology movie, Gareth Edwards' Rogue One. He joins a cast which currently includes Felicity Jones, Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna and Ben Mendelsohn, but there's no word on who he will play yet. It's an impressive addition to the cast nonetheless, and it should be interesting to see whose side he falls in the movie which focuses on a group of Rebels who set out to steal the plans of the first Death Star.
The site also reveals that's after Whitaker finishes working on The Story of Your Life, he'll star in The Crow. Once again, the site doesn't have any details on which role he will take on in the remake.
