Felicity Jones, Forest Whitaker, Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen, Donnie Yen, Alan Tudyk, jeez this cast is AMAZING!! Oh and Felicity is looking quite "Solo-esque" in that image (especially in the way that she holsters her blaster).

All humans, mega boring.

All humans, mega boring.

Yeah what we really need are more anthropomorphic aliens... If you're gonna give me aliens give me crazy freaky looking ones.

p.s. Super excited about the cast.

Cast so far looks freakin awesome, they put together such a great multicultural crew.
Maybe not revealed yet, but wish there was a couple of aliens among the lead group shown though.
Also pic looks like they are in a Yavin temple secret base.

I can't believe we are getting the film of the first few lines of the ANH opening crawl.

Fan concept...

Maybe not revealed yet, but wish there was a couple of aliens among the lead group shown though.

Also missed that Alan Tudyk also joins Rogue One.

"Alan Tudyk, who plays a performance-capture character in Rogue One"

So he'll likely be the main alien amongst the lead group of Rebel spies.

I do hope whatever his CG mo-cap character look like, that it has plenty of traces of his human face, and expressions, which are great!

And that he's not the pilot again, cause: .... "I am a leaf on the wind...gah!!!"

Everyone probably saw the picture of Mads Mikkelsen as an Imperial officer.

Although it makes perfect casting sense, It ^ is not official Rogue One art, or character.
His likeness there was used for admiral jhared Montferrat in non related short story, Blade Squadron.


Those curious about Mads Mikkelsen role in Rogue One, and if he'll be a good guy or bad guy.
Although keep in mind in this film, those lines may be blurred.

Mads Mikkelsen - "my character is actually not a bad guy"


Can't vouch for how exact google translate is, if any Danish speakers want to confirm- from an interview at - http://ekstrabladet.dk/filmmagasinet...-rolle/5697741

- I can not talk about the film.

On the international movie database IMDB says you are second in the cast just after Felicity Jones. It suggests that it is a great role. Is it a big role?

- I have not actually noticed where I stand no. Two in the cast. It is probably because that the other might not have come on the list yet, says Mikkelsen with a smile.

But it is a big or a small role?

- It is a very important role, as much I can say.

But you're the bad guy?

- No, my character is actually not a bad guy, and then I can not say more, says Mads Mikkelsen, who will be in Denmark until the filming of the new Star Wars film starts in mid-September.

- I am also quite game, and I can say that the movie will be filmed in Iceland and England. And the filming lasts for three months.

Last part, he's probably referencing his filming schedule specifically.

It's pretty nice looking.

Love the casting.

All humans, mega boring.

Eh, it was pretty much like that too in the first movie except for Chewie and some at the cantina.
