Why Was Keri Russell Left Off the ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’ Cast List?
Troubled by the fact that Keri Russell was left off today's official cast announcement of "Star Wars: Episode IX"?
Fear no more: "The Americans" star just hadn't inked her deal by the time of the big reveal, according to Deadline.
The all-important pen has now been put to paper and she will be joining the rest of the cast as earlier reported. We still don't know what role she'll be playing, although a gun-toting rebel seems likely.
As you well know, this reunites Russell with J.J. Abrams, who created the '90s show that shot her to stardom, "Felicity."
The Emmy-nominated actress recently wrapped the sixth and final season of "The Americans."
Filming begins next week on "Episode IX" in London for a December 20, 2019 release date.
