Lucasfilm's Cassian Andor STAR WARS Series Casts 6 UNDERGROUND Actress Adria Arjona in a Lead Role
Adria Arjona, who recently starred in Michael Bay’s 6 Underground, has landed a lead role opposite Diego Luna in Lucasfilm’s live-action Cassian Andor Star Wars series.
Luna will be reprising his role as Cassian along with Alan Tudyk as K-2SO. It was also announced that he will be joined by Genevieve O’Reilly, who will reprise her role as Mon Mothma (Rogue One, Tin Can), Denise Gough (Collett, Angels in America), Kyle Soller (Anna Karenina, The Titan), and it was also previously announced that Stellan Skarsgard (Thor, Good Will Hunting) has joined the film. Jimmy Smits and Alistair Petrie were also in talks to join as Bail Organa and General Draven.
The story will focus on Rebel agent Andor in the early days of the Rebellion against the Empire prior to the events of Rogue One. The show has been described as a “spy thriller.” We don’t really know much more than that about the story at this point.
Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote Rogue One, will write, direct, and serve as showrunner for the series. Additional writers on the series include Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler), Beau Willimon (House of Cards), and Stephen Schiff (The Americans).
