With Benicio Del Toro recently confirmed as the film’s big bad, it seems as though the casting process on Star Wars: Episode 8 is beginning to kick up a gear, with The Wrap reporting that director Rian Johnson has already put together a shortlist of actresses he would like to see take the female lead.
According to the outlet, the current frontrunners are Tatiana Maslany, Olivia Cooke and Gina Rodriguez. The report suggests that the trio will be booked in for chemistry readings with John Boyega by the end of the month, although it does also note that there may be some additional candidates who have yet to read for Johnson.
