Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen dropped some major Rogue One knowledge and we have all of the details for you right now!
Something tells us
Disney isn’t going to be too happy with Mads Mikkelsen after he let this aspect of his character slip.
Word of warning before we start, we are covering some potential Rogue One spoilers so proceed at your own risk.
Okay, so when the first Rogue One teaser dropped earlier this month, fans were quick to hop on the rumor train regarding
Felicity Jones’ character, “
Jyn Erso”. As we all know, everyone in the
Star Wars universe is related somehow and fans immediately decided that Jyn must be
The Force Awakens’ “Rey’s” mother. “Rey” herself,
Daisy Ridley, quickly shot down the rumor, though whether or not she’s telling the truth remains to be seen. While we’ll have to wait and see if Jyn and Rey do end up being related, there’s at least one aspect of Jyn’s lineage that is no longer a secret, which leads us to Mads Mikkelsen. Mads Mikkelsen was noticeably absent from the film’s first trailer, but thanks to a recent interview with
Sky News, some major light has been shown on his character. The
Danish actor was commenting about his initial trepidation on taking a role in Rogue One, saying he wasn’t sure if he’d be wearing a Stormtrooper outfit or what, but after reading the script, he thought it was a beautiful story. He continued gushing about the film telling the reporter quote, “
Felicity’s playing this lovely, strong, woman, and I play her father.”
Boom. Mic drop. Mads quickly realized his mistake following the news with, “and that was too much.” He also teased the interviewer about
Darth Vader’s possible appearance in the film, saying he knows, but won’t divulge. While Disney may not be happy about Mads dropping this news, him playing “Jyn’s” father in the film has been rumored for quite some time as well as his name being “
Galen” in the film. While that remains unconfirmed, Mads included the name in quotes on a
Star Wars poster he signed a few months back at a fan event. As for his role in the film beyond being Jyn’s papa, it has long been rumored that he will play a
Robert Oppenheimer type who is the main architect of the
Death Star. For the non-history buffs,
Oppenheimer is credited as being the father of the atomic bomb who would later come to regret his involvement in the project. Similarly, Mikkelsen’s character is thought to have a change of heart when he realizes how destructive the Death Star actually is. This should all be taken as rumor for now though. Something tells us Mads will be getting a strongly worded email from Disney and will likely keep his mouth shut when it comes to Rogue One questions in the future, but what do you think of him playing Jyn’s father and do you think he could be Rey’s grandfather?
