universe

Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking only at actors
and actresses who have yet to appear in
Star Wars media in any significant way
number 10 sharlto copley oh go now
before I change my mind
but South African actor Sharlto Copley
has made a name for himself in recent
years with credits and films like
district 9 chappie and Maleficent the
Cape Town native has shown he has an
ability to disappear into roles and
already carries some serious science
fiction credibility cop Lee’s motion
capture work as chappie leads us to
believe he could deliver an authentic
and memorable performance in the
franchise Copley possesses the range to
play hero or villain and the charisma to
make a CGI character feel truly
believable welcome here number nine
saucy beats after breakout performances
in Deadpool 2 and the hit TV series
Atlanta saucy beats is a star on the
rise anti heroes have served this
franchise well before Anne beatts has
the wit charm and general badass aura to
make it work Disney and Lucasfilm are in
need of fresh faces to carry the Star
Wars franchise forward and with her
background in both independent and
blockbuster films Beats has shown she
has the chops to deliver dramatic
performances as well as big action and
laughs three things that any good Star
Wars movie needs they’ll love that
we’re gonna win for sure number 8 Gina
Rodriguez hi hello this is Jaime on
River I need to talk to dr. Albert
because I’m a crazy after saying that
I’m pregnant as the title character and
star of The CW’s Jane the virgin Gina
Rodriguez showed off her immense charm
and magnetism when she was then cast in
2018 sci-fi action thriller annihilation
she showed off a whole different side
one we’re a little bit scared of it’s
freaking me with her acting pedigree
Rodriguez could easily pull off a
character that exists somewhere between
good and bad
which is where star wars seems to be
headed these days Plus Rodriguez was
nearly cast as Rose in the last Jedi
meaning she is definitely on lucasfilm’s
radar Lena this is getting heavy number
7 Carrie Coon I couldn’t ask for a
better obituary though she’s not quite a
household name yet Carrie Coon is
building a reputation for acting
excellence and you’ve almost definitely
seen her in something in 2018 Kuhn
showed she can perform motion capture
with the best of them when she appeared
as the terrifying Proxima midnight in
Avengers infinity war Kuhn also has an
extensive background in dramatic roles
both on screen and on stage and has
acknowledged in interviews that she
spent time in high school playing Star
Wars tabletop role-playing games giving
her some major fan status it’s a match
made in space I honestly don’t know how
it works
number 6 Jesse Plemons what’s your name
Todd according to widespread rumors that
he since denied Jesse Plemons was
strongly considered for stormtrooper
turned resistance fighter Finn before
the role eventually went to John boyega
regardless with his incredibly varied
acting background in both film and TV
Clemens is a prime candidate for a meaty
character role in an upcoming Star Wars
film or even the long rumored
live-action series for Disney’s upcoming
streaming platform Clemens has played
all kinds of characters sociopaths
wide-eyed innocence bumbling fools and
more so there’s little doubt with all
the Star Wars content and development
that there isn’t at least one role
Plemons could knock out of the park are
you headed number 5 Joseph gordon-levitt
I agree with that though he did have a
minor voice only cameo in the last Jedi
we believe Joseph gordon-levitt has a
lot more potential to serve in a major
role in a future film as a longtime
favorite of Rian Johnson gordon-levitt
is likely to be involved in the
directors upcoming trilogy set in the
universe it’s like putting on a mask the
charismatic actor is a noted fan of the
galaxy far far away even penning an
online essay on the topic of Luke
Skywalker’s character in the last Jedi
the stars seem to be aligned engaño vut
to become a major on-screen player in
the franchise’s future no one likes to
feel someone else’s messing around in
life number four touch the Animus Lonny
this Canadian actress has built a name
for herself with her incredible work on
the acclaimed series orphan black where
she played lead character Sarah Manning
along with dozens of clones each with
their own distinctive traits and
personalities since orphan black has
ended Milani is on her way to further
establishing her acting credibility
taking on more prominent roles in film
and television with her undeniable
talent and the fact that she’d
previously been considered for both the
role of jyn erso and rogue one and Rose
Tico in the last Jedi it’s hard to
believe Milani won’t soon be featured in
the Star Wars universe
number three Steven Yeun nice was a
Clint Eastwood during his time as fan
favorite Glenn Rhee on The Walking Dead
actor Steven Yeun won audiences over
with his charm and believability as one
of the standout actors of that series
Yan has gone on to noteworthy roles in
films like oksha and the cult horror
flick mayhem that’s a good talk problem
Jung’s performances showcase a future
star and what better franchise for the
actor to make his mark on than Star Wars
with his experience performing with an
ensemble cast Yun would fit right in
working with Game of Thrones producers
David Benioff and DB Weiss on their
upcoming Star Wars project he’s just I
couldn’t I couldn’t stop the mission
number two rosario Dawson unless you
know about me the better a tried and
true talent rosario Dawson has a track
record of acting credibility that speaks
for itself
she also happens to be a massive fan of
the franchise and has actively
campaigned on social media to be cast as
the live-action incarnation of Clone
Wars fan favorite ahsoka
my name is ahsoka tano whether or not
she gets that role Dawson has proved she
has the ability to give action-oriented
performances just as well as dramatic
ones already a dedicated part of Netflix
is Marvel Universe Dawson has the talent
passion and reputation to deserve a spot
in the franchise moving forward are you
hunting criminals cuz I thought she said
you’re gonna take it easy on that for a
while before we unveil our number one

Barbara Walters pick up a lamp number
one Michael B Jordan burn it all one of
the most talented young actors in
Hollywood Michael B Jordan is a perfect
fit for the Star Wars universe after
memorable turns in the wire and Friday
Night Lights Jordan set his sights on
film and has since become a highly
sought after star though everyone can
agree that Fantastic Four was a misstep
for all involved
Jordan has more than repaired the damage
done with phenomenal performances in
both Creed and black panther with the
main Star Wars series supposedly drawing
to an end for a while with episode 9
Disney and Lucasfilm need a bona fide
star to carry their franchise forward in
a new direction and Jordan is the
perfect choice the world’s gonna find
