An actor known for his villainous roles, Richard E. Grant has been the focus of fan speculation ever since his involvement in next year’s Star Wars Episode IX was first announced, and naturally, the theories have been baddie-oriented.
A few months ago, for instance, the most popular suggestion was that the Logan and Doctor Who antagonist would be taking on the role of the blue-skinned Grand Admiral Thrawn from the Star Wars Rebels animated series. Back in August, however, the theory ran out of steam when the actor himself flatly denied it. Fortunately, in a recent interview with Yahoo!, the star was all too happy to explain the details of both his character and the plot of the movie. The only problem is, he was only willing to do so by mouthing the words silently.
Grant knows all too well that there are a lot of fans out there anxious for some answers.
