A first look photo of Ben Mendelsohn as Director Orson Krennic inAndor season 2has been released.
Mendelsohn played Krennic in Rogue One, and you might remember that his appearance in the film culminated in an epic shootout between him and Cassian Andor (spoiler alert: he dies). His appearance in Andor season 2 makes perfect sense, however, given that the series is a prequel to Rogue One (which in turn is a prequel to the original 1977 Star Wars.) You can check out the photo below.
The returning cast includes Kyle Soller as Syril Karn, Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, Stellan Skarsgard as Luthen Rael, Fiona Shaw as Maarva Andor, Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, Denise Gough as Dedra MEero, Faye Marsay as Vel Sartha, and Varada Sethu as Cinta Kaz. Diego Luna is, of course, back as thief-turned-rebel spy Cassian Andor – who was first introduced in Rogue One.
Footage debuted at D23 earlier this year which featured the first look at Krennic and K-2SO’s return.Fans were also treated to a surprise first look at Lunain the new season at D23 Brazil.
