Rumor: Star Wars: Episode VIII To Include Two Female Lead Characters.



Speculation has been rampant recently about the film casting a new Female Lead, with a shortlist of actress including Tatiana Maslany, Gina Rodriguez, and Olivia Cooke allegedly auditioning in chemistry tests with John Boyega for the role of a female lead for the movie—but now a new rumor purports that another actor has been added to the list: Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

According to Latino-Review, Mbatha-Raw has not just joined the shortlist, but auditioned for the role already—and more interestingly, that the shortlist is no longer just for a single female role, but two substantial and important female roles in the film. No clue whether these two prominent female characters are heroes or villains.

As ever, treat this all as rumor until anything is acknowledged officially.
