Keri Russell is headed for a galaxy far, far away.

Sources tell Variety that J.J. Abrams has tapped the "Felicity" alum to join "Star Wars: Episode IX," which Abrams is writing and directing. Russell and Abrams last collaborated on 2006's "Mission: Impossible III."

The role calls for action-heavy fight scenes and Russell has shown her ability to perform tough stunts in projects like FX's "The Americans," "Mission: Impossible," and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes."

I hope she isn't going to be Captain Phasma 2.0

Edit: Darth Maul stole my post.

Hopefully she does not have purple hair so meninists aren't triggered by her presence.

She is an excellent actress. I am excited.

I thought the title said Kurt Russell at first thinking it would be for Rey's dad. But it almost has to be Rey's mom.

People when IX releases:
"Wow i can't believe they hyped up Rey's mom with that casting of a woman and Rey's mom was nowhere to be found in the film, Abrams is a hack fraud and Star Wars is ruined"

The role seems to call for "action-heavy" fight scenes so I'm predicting someone big in the Resistance or a First Order officer like Phasma.

Keri Russell is outstanding. I'm looking forward to her being part of the cast.

Jesus Christ, do we need to fill this entire thread with mock angry manchild responses and preemptive mocking of dumb hypothetical fan theories? Part of me thinks y'all enjoy seeing that shit. For as much as you complain about it, you sure seem to *need* to talk about in every thread, even when that shit isn't popping up on its own.

She'll play Daisy Ridley's mom, but PLOT TWIST, Daisy Ridley isn't Rey, she is playing Rey's daughter. SURPRISE, there was a 20 year time jump.

Movie literally tells the audience that Rey's parents are nobody and irrelevant.

"SHE MUST BE REY'S MOM OMG"

Keri Russell is a great choice for any movie, I will keep an open mind for Episode IX since I did enjoy The Force Awakens.
