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.
