Today, our friend Daniel Ritchman revealed on his Patreon that Lucasfilm is considering casting Lars Mikkelsen for the role of Grand Admiral Thrawn in a future Disney+ show. Mikkelsen (brother of Mads Mikkelsen) voiced the fav favorite character on Star Wars Rebels. It would make sense they bring back Mikkelsen to play the character over multiple Rebel-era shows. This would also lead many to assume they may consider bringing Sam Witwer to play the live-action version of Maul instead of just voice. Based on the rumor, Ray Park will not return after posting sexually explicit images on his Instagram.
