Who is in the cast of Andor?

In February 2018, former Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed plans for several Star Wars productions.

More than a year prior to the launch of Disney+, Iger said in a statement: "We are developing not just one, but a few Star Wars series specifically for the Disney direct-to-consumer app."

"We’ve mentioned that and we are close to being able to reveal at least one of the entities that is developing that for us."

The former CEO further shared: " They have an idea for a number of films and at some later date I’m sure we’ll disclose to all of you just what those are."

"They are focused on a point in time in the Star Wars mythology and taking it from there."

One of those entities turned out to be Andor, which is scheduled for an undisclosed release date on Disney+ sometime in 2022.

As production on the program went underway, details about the cast starring in Andor were disclosed to the public - here's a look at the show's roster.

Stellan added: "And also to work with Diego Luna, who's an old friend."

"My character is...Well, you'll see. It's fun to play because he has a lot of different faces to show."
