Rumour: Jiang Wen joins the cast of Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One

August 12, 2015 by Luke Owen

Following the news that Donnie Yen has been cast in Star Wars: Episode VIII, we’ve got a new rumour for the Gareth Edwards directed spin-off Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One.

According to Yahoo! Singapore, Chinese actor and director Jiang Wen has joined the cast. Wen is perhaps best known for his Let the Bullets Fly, but he has also starred in and directed several action movies.

“Jiang reportedly will star in the upcoming spinoff, Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One. The news came a month after it was previously rumoured that Rogue One had been pursuing Chinese talent.”
