20 Recent Movie Rumours That Were Total BULL

20. Sigourney Weaver Is The Secret Villain - The Mandalorian & Grogu

The Rumour:

When Sigourney Weaver was cast in The Mandalorian and Grogu and subsequently announced to be playing the rather benign quest-giver character Colonel Ward, many fans suspected they were being hoodwinked.

Why cast an actor of Weaver's repute and popularity to play a nothingburger supporting character?

And so, a rumour started doing the rounds that she would in fact be the film's twist villain - a double agent secretly working for the Imperials.

And even though Weaver stated that she was only on set for a few days, that of course could've been a mere smokescreen to keep her surprise antagonist role under wraps.

The Truth:

Though this definitely would've been a fun rug-pull considering Weaver's tendency to play statuesque heroes, she does indeed play precisely who she appears to be. 

And frustratingly - if predictably - it's a part that gives her desperately little to do beyond spout exposition at Pedro Pascal's Mando.
