13 Most Anticipated Upcoming Original Movie Characters

1. "DJ" (Benicio Del Toro) - Star Wars: The Last Jedi

The Role: It's known that Benicio del Toro will be playing The Last Jedi's main antagonist, though the name DJ is apparent a placeholder that will only be explained when viewers sit down to watch the movie for themselves. It's widely expected that he's playing some sort of smuggler or bounty hunter, but no solid confirmation yet.

Why You Should Be Excited: Aside from the fact that Del Toro is one Hell of an actor and terrific at playing villains, the aura of mystery his character is being surrounded in only makes his inclusion that much more interesting.

Could DJ's identity in some way relate to the movie's much-discussed "shocking" reveal? Even if not, he looks like a unique villain for the franchise and will undoubtedly bring plenty of grit to the part.
