Mary Elizabeth Winstead is ready to jump into the galaxy far, far away!
Disney+ Ahsoka series has found a new cast member in the form of Winstead. Her character in the show has not been revealed yet by the makers. However, her casting has received positive responses from the majority of the Star Wars fanbase. Some of the rumours have hinted that she may play Mara Jade, wife of Luke Skywalker.
It is not like Winstead is the only fan-favourite cast member in the Star Wars franchise. The leading actress Rosario Dawson also got her hands on the character of Ahsoka after the fanbase heavily started trending her for the holder of the white lightsaber. She made her live-action debut in Season 2 of The Mandalorian series.
Apart from these ladies, Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Darth Vader in the forthcoming series. The live-action Ahsoka series takes place nearly five years after the events of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Furthermore, we have Natasha Liu Bordizzo playing Sabine Wren, a prominent Mandalorian warrior.
Star Wars legend, Dave Filoni, is creating the series with Iron Man and The Jungle Book fame, Jon Favreau, serving as one of the executive producers.
Winstead got her big breakthrough in Hollywood with Disney’s Sky High in 2005. After that, she has starred in several notable projects like Final Destination 3, Death Proof, Live Free or Die Hard, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Birds of Prey, and many more.
