Matt Smith of Doctor Who fame, playing the 11th incarnation from April 2010 to December 2013 and lately known for playing Prince Philip in the Crown has been cast in Episode IX!
This is terribly exciting news for someone who, believe it or not, is a very big fan of both Doctor Who and Star Wars. Matt Smith is not the Doctor to be in the Star Wars universe but is the first to appear in a film. David Tennant previously portrayed Professor Huyang in two episodes of Season 5 of the Clone Wars and Tom Baker previously portrayed the Bendu in 6 episodes of the third season of Star War Rebels.
Matt Smith has been reportedly cast in a key role, so it will be interesting to see who he plays but due to his accent it is likely he has been cast as someone evil.
Dominic Monaghan from Lord of the Rings (he portrayed Merry) has also been cast recently for IX.
IX looks like it could be a very good film indeed!
