Disney+ to have a live-action Cassian Andor series with Diego Luna
Rogue One fans can rejoice: Disney+ is releasing a Cassian Andor series with Diego Luna reprising his role from the film, meaning we can all cry about Cassian again.
Disney+ is bringing us quality content, and one of the new shows includes a Cassian Andor series with Diego Luna starring! For many fans of Rogue One, Cassian’s storyline seemed to end too quickly and many wished we knew more of his time before we see him and Jyn try and steal the plans to the Death Star.
Luckily for us, Disney recognized our love of the film and is bringing Cassian Andor to life once more. For those who remember Rogue One, Jyn and Cassian succeed in their task, but it comes at the cost of their own deaths. Since we only really got that one movie with the two of them, it was heartbreaking because many of us really wanted to learn more about these characters.
Portrayed by Diego Luna, Cassian had a past that we didn’t get to learn more about (which the series will focus on. Per the press release, Luna is excited to be heading back to the Star Wars franchise and fans of Rogue One can’t wait to see him take on Cassian once more.
"Going back to the Star Wars universe is very special for me. I have so many memories of the great work we did together and the relationships I made throughout the journey. We have a fantastic adventure ahead of us, and this new exciting format will give us the chance to explore this character more deeply."
Shooting is set to begin in 2019 along with most of the other Disney+ streaming shows. Bob Iger also confirmed Tom Hiddleston coming to the service as part of a Loki show. The news comes after news of a High School Musical series and Monsters Inc series are coming to the platform as well as more from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Disney+ is going to be a must have; we’ll have to wait and see what other shows from Lucasfilm and the MCU come to it!
