EXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Adria Arjona<\/a> is set to star opposite Diego Luna<\/a> in Disney Plus<\/a>’ Star Wars<\/em> series based on the Cassian Andor character Luna played in the 2016 spinoff film Rogue One<\/a><\/em>. Denise Gough, Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgard and Kyle Soller<\/a> also are on board.<\/p>\n

A Disney spokesperson declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em>, is set to write the pilot for the series in addition to directing multiple episodes. He is also serving as series show-runner.<\/p>\n

The untitled show focuses on Rebel agent Andor prior to the events of Rogue One<\/em> in the early days of the Rebellion against the Empire. The show had been described as a “spy thriller” when plans for it first were revealed last year.<\/a> It was also previously announced that Luna would return as Andor, while Alan Tudyk is set to reprise his role as K-2SO, Andor’s droid sidekick.<\/p>\n

Character details of who Arjona will be playing are unknown.<\/p>\n

2020 Disney+ Pilots &amp; Series Orders<\/a><\/p>\n

Following the huge success of The Mandalorian<\/em>, Disney Plus has ramped its development on other Star Wars<\/em> series, which include this one, a second season of The Mandalorian<\/em> and a series focused on young Obi Wan-Kenobi<\/a> with Ewan McGregor reprising the role.<\/p>\n

Arjona breakout role came on Legendary’s Pacific Rim: Uprising<\/em>, where she co-starred opposite John Boyega and Scott Eastwood. She would follow that up with key roles in Life of the Party<\/em>, Triple Frontier<\/em> and most recently in the Michael Bay action pic, 6 Underground.<\/em> She can be seen next in Sony’s extended Marvel Universe pic Morbius<\/em>, which also stars Jared Leto and Matt Smith.<\/p>\n

She is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
