Mads Mikkelsen lets slip his Rogue One: A Star Wars Story role

April 28, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Warning. Spoilers for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story follow…

He was absent from the first trailer, but it seems that Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen has let slip a spoiler about his role in Decembers’ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story during an interview with Sky News.

“I read the script and it was very beautiful,” said Mikkelsen, when asked about the hotly-anticipated spinoff. “Felicity Jones is playing this lovely, strong woman. I play her… father.”

Potentially bigger spoilers follow. You may want to turn back now…

Mikkelsen’s comments about him portraying Jyn Erso’s father tally up with a rumour from back in January, which highlighted the relationship between the two characters. That same rumour suggested that Mikkelsen was playing a scientist who takes over development of the Death Star and is instrumental in the realisation of the superweapon. However, feeling guilty about the terror he’s unleashed, he decides to defect to the Rebellion and enlists the help of his daughter in an effort to make things right.
