STAR WARS Series Casting - Lars Mikkelsen and Mena Massoud Reportedly Confirmed To Play Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra

A report has surfaced from Latino Review claiming they can confirm some big casting for Lucasfilm’s upcoming Disney+ Star Wars hows. They are reporting with confidence that Mena Massoud (Aladdin) has been cast as Ezra Bridger with Lars Mikkelsen (The Witcher) taking on the role of Grand Admiral Thrawn! 

A lot of fans have been wanting to see these two actors cast in these roles, and if this is actually true, then Lucasfilm has made some great casting choices that will make fans super happy. For those of you who don’t know, Mikkelsen voiced Thrawn in the Star Wars Rebels animated series for seventeen episodes, which make his casting even more exciting.

The Mandalorian planted the seeds for these characters to make their live-action debuts when we learned that Ahsoka was on the hunt for Thrawn, and it makes sense that Thrawn and Ezra are together as the last time we saw them, they were being taken into hyperspace by the purrgil.

While there are reports that these characters might get their own show, they are also rumored to make their live-action debut in the upcoming Ahsoka series. I hope this casting news ends up being true! What do you think about Massoud and Mikkelsen being cast as Ezra and Thrawn?
