Matt Smith is one of a few new names that are joining the Star Wars franchise for the trilogy-capper, as it’s been previously said that Star Wars: Episode IX will include Richard E. Grant, Keri Russell, and Naomi Ackie.
Back in late July, Star Wars: Episode IX delivered an announcement revealing what appeared to be the full cast for the blockbuster – featuring both expected names, and a few new ones.
According to a new report, Doctor Who star Matt Smith is now set to play a part in the new J.J. Abrams-directed chapter of the legendary sci-fi saga.
This really isn’t too surprising, however, given the level of secrecy that surrounds the project.
