Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson is currently promoting the movie in Japan and during a Q&A about the highly anticipated sequel, the filmmaker reportedly revealed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a mystery role. This was rumoured to be the case some time ago and Johnson confirmed that The Dark Knight Rises star will be doing a voiceover (the director reportedly indicated that he's an alien).
This news shouldn't come as too big of a surprise as Levitt has appeared in all of Johnson's films and ever since Daniel Craig popped up in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, high profile cameos like this one have become a staple of the current trilogy. We'll now have to keep our eyes peeled this December!
Johnson was also asked about the recent reports that he'll direct Star Wars Episode IX. Only a very rough translation is doing the rounds but the gist of it is that he can't really talk about what's happening, is currently focused on The Last Jedi, and is waiting to see what happens with the movie.
He'll be doing the press rounds in America and the UK come December, so hopefully, Lucasfilm will clear things up soon. What do you guys think about this news? Share your thoughts down below.
