Star Wars 8 news: Rebels villain Agent Kallus to crossover? Star SPEAKS OUT on speculation
STAR WARS 8: THE LAST JEDI speculation continues to mount, and Rebels star David Oyelowo has spoken of the possibility of Agent Kallus making a crossover in a live-action movie in the franchise.

Oyelowo, who has starred in Selma and Lee Daniels’ The Butler, was taking part in a Reddit AMA session when he was asked about his voiceover work as Kallus - and whether we could see him in a live-action blockbuster, timeline logistics permitting.
Long story short, it doesn’t look good - although the 40-year-old has seemingly loved his time as the character.
He explained: “Yeah, I've enjoyed playing Agent Kallus immensely, not least because I gained huge [brownie] points from my kids.
“The fact that I'm in a Star Wars anything, they are far more interested in that than any Dr. King or any Seretse Khama I've ever played.”

He joked: “In terms of a live action iteration, it may be tricky.
“Agent Kallus is a white dude with red hair and giant mutton chops, so I like to think I'm a good actor, but that may be a stretch.
“But you never know, I could have afro mutton chops.”
The Oxford-born father-of-four is currently promoting A United Kingdom, which co-stars Rosamund Pike.

It was released in the UK last year but is finally getting its US unveiling next Friday, February 17.
Meanwhile, Star Wars speculation continues with a theory that at least one Rebels character will make an appearance in The Last Jedi: Ezra, who could - according to one thoughtful fan - be Rey’s father.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is released this December.
