Mads Mikkelsen accidentally let slip the identity of his character in Star Wars: Rogue One in an interview this past week, saying, "Felicity [Jones] is playing this lovely, strong woman. I play her...father. That's too much, I'm sorry."

While Disney might be a little unhappy with Mikkelsen giving the game away with regard to his character over 7 months before the movie releases, it's great to finally have a bead on who the magnificent Danish actor will be playing this Christmas.

You can bet that Mads will likely steal every scene he's in, and he certainly sounds like he's pouring more of himself into the movie than you would with a mere paycheck role. We can't wait.
