It’s unconfirmed by Lucasfilm, but the team at The Hollywood Reporter are confident enough to claim that Mary Elizabeth Winstead has nabbed a role in the forthcoming Ahsoka series on Disney Plus, joining Rosario Dawson and Hayden Christensen in the Dave Filoni written show.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is punching her career into hyperspace.
The actress has joined the budding cast of Ahsoka, the next Star Wars live-action series gearing up to go into production at Lucasfilm and Disney+.
Rosario Dawson is starring as the fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi Knight survivor popular on the animation side of Star Wars who made her live-action debut in the second season of The Mandalorian.
Hayden Christensen is reprising the role of Anakin Skywalker for the series, which is set five years after the events of Return of the Jedi, with Ukrainian actress Ivanna Sakhno and Australian thespian Natasha Liu Bordizzo also slated to be on the call sheet.
We’ll be discussing this and much more on episode 124 of Making Tracks, out Tuesday.
