Director Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One, the first live-action standalone film in the Star Wars franchise, starred Ben Mendelsohn as the villainous Orson Krennic, the mastermind behind the dreaded Death Star. Though the film required extensive reshoots overseen by Tony Gilroy, Mendelsohn explained why he was neither nervous or relieved to have another filmmaker board the project so late in the process:
“I wasn’t either of those, it was just a case, from my point of view, that they were going to be working multiple units. Gareth was writing and then he would come and film some things and Tony was shooting his material. To me it’s a collaborative business, and this was just business as usual, and I’m so proud of that one.”
Ben Mendelsohn will soon join another major franchise when he portrays the villain of Captain Marvel.
Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, Clark Gregg, and Jude Law.
Captain Marvel will be released in theaters on March 8, 2019.
