16 Actors Confirmed For Star Wars Episode IX

2. NEW: Richard E. Grant

Dibs on E. Grant playing the villain, or some sort of snooty First Order general.

Just look at him, or check out his past work, which has included everything from the nefarious Dr. Rice in Logan to the contemplative Dr. John Seward in 1992's Dracula, or the flamboyant Withnail in Withnail & I.

E. Grant's casting is reminiscent of when Max von Sydow came on board for Episode VII... only to die after two minutes. It points to either J.J. Abrams' love of casting veteran actors of stage and screen for memorable, minuscule roles, or this time round we'll get a more fleshed out part.
