Studio plans Lucasfilm for the grand admiral Thrawn can be even more ambitious than it might seem at first glance. Several informed sources reported this at once.
As the insider told Daniel Richtman, the studio is in talks with the actor Robert Downey Jr., which is known to most for the role Iron man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the same time, the dialogue allegedly has already gone far enough, but no agreements have been signed. Richtman had previously argued that Thrawn might not only appear in “The Mandalorian“(The Mandalorian), but also his spin-off”Ahsoka“.
The information is confirmed by the blogger WDW Prowho specializes in amusement park insights Disney and the atmosphere within the company. He notes that the showrunner of The Mandalorian Jon Favreau (“iron Man“,”The lion king“,”The jungle book“) and Robert Downey Jr. worked well together on the sets of the MCU. It was thanks to the director that the actor’s career found a second wind (Favreau also played the role of a bodyguard Tony Stark – Happy Hogan).
The insider notes that this is not a cameo role, but a long-term contract. Moreover, Favreau is also allegedly actively trying to involve in his projects in the universe “Star Wars“(Star Wars) and other big names to boost audience engagement. However, it is possible that following the dialogue, Downey Jr. may get a different role, but no less important.

Moreover, for the sake of a final conflict with the Grand Admiral, the studio may spend on a whole film.
According to the portal Small ScreenLucasfilm is also in talks with Lars Mikkelsen (“Witcher“,”House of cardsThe Danish actor can be called a serious candidate for the role of Grand Admiral Thrawn, as he voiced the villain in the animated series Rebels. The studio was guided by the same logic when approving the role Bo-Katan Kryze in “The Mandalorian” actress Katie Sackhoffwho voiced the character in “Rebels” and “Clone wars“(Clone wars).
