With the whole world as well as the entire Star Wars franchise singing the praises of Disney+’s Andor, titular actor Diego Luna gets more and more popular within the industry. Taking on the name of Cassian Andor for the first time in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, he has been held in high regard thanks to his amazing performance and excellent character portrayal. With the first season going down as a major success for the franchise, he has solidified his presence among the stars.
As his talents shine brighter and brighter with his performance reaching far and wide, it is no wonder that the parent company of Lucasfilm has taken notice of the budding talent. Disney has a lot of studios under its watchful eye, and Marvel Studios happens to be one of them, which have taken notice of the Star Wars star and might’ve put him on the list of contenders to play a significant role in an upcoming film, alongside another popular superstar.
Diego Luna Might Join The Cast Of The Fantastic Four!
After the smashing and unexpected critical success of the Star Wars spin-off series Andor, the lead actor Diego Luna has been making rounds in speculations of being approached by different studios to invite the star to work for them. But out of all of these rumors, one makes more sense, especially when it is connected with Disney. Many rumors are going around which tell that the success of the series has boosted Luna’s chances to play Reed Richards in an upcoming MCU film.
The rumor is substantiated by the fact that the performance of the actor gained the series a Golden Globes award, plus, the actor already works for a subsidiary of Disney, which provides ease of access to Marvel Studios to approach the star for an audition. Along with this, Marvel Studios also seems to have already cast Eliza Gonzalez as Sue Storm in the upcoming film. During an interview, Luna had this to say about his possibility of becoming Reed Richards in the MCU:
“I just like the… I was talking about that this morning like the rumors. When you become part of rumors, half of the rumors were real, you know. It’s just incredible the amount of stuff that I see now out there.The only thing I can tell you is that, for the next two years, I’m busy. In two years, we’ll see if what I want to do is even film.”
