We don\u2019t know if she\u2019s Rebellion or First Order, but Keri Russell is join \u2019Star Wars: Episode IX.\u2019<\/b>
\nBefore she was a Soviet mole for FX, Keri Russell was best known as the college freshman Felicity, as part of J. Abrams\u2019 early and wildly different TV career. Since then, they\u2019ve only reunited professionally once, on Mission: Impossible III, but Russell and Abrams are apparently reteaming for Star Wars: Episode IX.
Variety is reporting that Russell is the first new cast member of Star Wars: Episode IX. Apparently what got her the role was her stunt work and action experience as part of The Americans, although those Golden Globe and Emmy nominations also probably helped matters. But beyond that she\u2019ll be cracking a few skulls, we don\u2019t know much about the role: Russell could be on the side of the rebellion or could be working for the First Order.
The new Star Wars trilogy has something of a tradition of adding \u201cname\u201d actors to the mix in unusual roles, however. Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro both joined The Last Jedi followed by a torrent of fan speculation. And it seems likely Russell will do the same, not least because Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey, and Russell have enough of a resemblance that they could credibly pass as related. And also we don\u2019t buy a word Dork Vader says about anything, but that\u2019s another post.
