It’s no secret that Mads Mikkelsen will appear in ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ but we’ve yet to find out anything about his character… that is, until now. But will he be an Imperial Office? A Rebel Alliance General?

If you don’t want to know who Mikkelsen will be playing in ‘Rogue One’, then you’d better stop reading about now…

During an interview with Sky News, the 50-year-old Danish actor dropped a bit of a bombshell… and revealed exactly who his character is in ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’.

“I read the script, and it was very beautiful,“ he said, claiming that he couldn’t reveal too much. Despite this, he went on to reveal his exact role in the movie. “And there’s this lovely, young, strong woman, and I play her… father.”

That’s right – it looks as though Mads Mikkelsen will play Jyn Erso’s father.

Jyn Erso (played by Felicity Jones) is the main character in ‘Rogue One’… and while it might not be an explicit confirmation, it looks as though Mikkelsen’s character will indeed be her father.

Of course, the first ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ trailer gave us a good look at Jyn Erso as she becomes entangled with the Rebel Alliance. But Mads Mikkelsen’s character was notably absent.

‘Rogue One’ will be set before the events of the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy, and sees Jen Erso become involved with the plot to steal the plans to the Death Star – an event which sets the entire ‘Star Wars’ saga in motion… but has yet to appear on screen.

‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ stars Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen, Donnie Yen, Alan Tudyk, Forest Whitaker and Diego Luna.

But will Mikkelsen really be her father? For now, we’ll have to wait and see.

‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ heads to cinemas on 16 December 2016.
