• Speaking of Star Wars speculation, Benicio del Toro shared a few words about his role in the follow-up to The Force Awakens: “they don’t let me talk too much about it. I’m like the villain. But we’ll see.” So, he’s like the villain, which could mean anything according to the gray morality of the Star Wars universe! … Just kidding, he’s gotta be the villain. (via Movies.Com)
