Benicio del Toro Reportedly in Talks for Star Wars: Episode VIII Villain!

A long time ago, in galaxy much, much more diverse...

Recommended Videos

From one Galaxy to another, we’re reportedly getting more Benicio del Toro in our genre movies!

The Wrap reports that Disney is out to collect their Collector from Guardians of the Galaxy for another arm of their unstoppable blockbuster machine: Star Wars. Talks are apparently in the early stages, but he’d be up for the villain in Rian Johnson’s May, 2017 Episode VIII, whatever that role winds up being.

Of course, del Toro already being a part of the Disney family on the Marvel side/being awesome probably makes this a pretty easy decision for them, and we hope he’s up for it. Not only is he a great actor, but the Puerto Rican actor would continue the groundwork The Force Awakens has been laying down in terms of cast diversity.

Excited for more del Toroooooo iiiiiinnnn spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace?
