The Cassian Andor series for Disney+ has added a new star to its cast. Adria Arjona will be joining the show as a co-lead alongside Diego Luna, who is reprising his role from Rogue One. She may be playing the role of Luna, who was described as "charismatic" and "dynamic" in a previous casting report. However, details regarding Arjona's character were not announced.
The untitled drama focuses on Andor's early days in the Rebel Alliance, detailing how he became a skilled spymaster. It will also show how he befriended the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2S0 (Alan Tudyk.) Other cast members include Stellan Skarsgård, Kyle Holler, Denise Gough and Genevieve O'Reilly, while Jimmy Smits is rumored to be reprising his role as Bail Organa.
Rogue One screenwriter Tony Gilroy will write the pilot for the series and also direct multiple episodes. Stephen Schiff will serve as the series showrunner. It will join a host of shows set in the Star Wars universe, including The Mandalorian and a series centered on Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Arjona's previous credits include Pacific Rim: Uprising and the Michael Bay-helmed Netflix film 6 Underground. She will also have a role in the upcoming Spider-Man spinoff Morbius.
The untitled Cassian Andor series stars Diego Luna, Adria Arjona, Stellan Skarsgård, Kyle Holler, Denise Gough, Genevieve O'Reilly and Alan Tudyk. It is expected to premiere on Disney+ sometime in 2021.
