Star Wars: Episode VIII's new villain is Benicio del Toro

Benicio del Toro is going cosmic. After a crowd-pleasing turn as The Collector in Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy, the actor has been attached to a role in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VIII.
Exactly what that role is has been a mystery though, but new reports from a casting sheet appear to confirm long-running rumours that del Toro will be playing the main villain in Brick and Looper director Rian Johnson's mid-trilogy instalment.By: Matt Kamen
