Has Lucasfilm and Disney found their live-action Thrawn and Ezra? Well, according to some new reports the answer is yes. Now I know these rumors have been around for a while, but thanks to an Exclusive report from LRM Online this subject is taking off again. We have heard from rumors in the past that Mena Massoud has been cast as Ezra Bridger as well as Lars Mikkelsen will be portraying Grand Admiral Thrawn (who Mikkelsen voices in Star Wars Rebels). While this has been reported before, LRM Online is now saying that these rumors are confirmed, they will appear in upcoming live-action Star Wars projects. Here is what LRM Online had to say.
Thrawn And Ezra Bridger Casting Confirmed
While we haven’t heard any new updates of the Ezra and Thrawn show, we do have an important announcement to share. We are now confident in reporting that Mena Massoud has been cast as Ezra Bridger along with Lars Mikkelsen portraying Grand Admiral Thrawn! This may not be shocking to some fans as Massoud and Mikkelson have been favorites for casting these two popular Star Wars characters.
So again like I have said a million times please take this with a grain of salt. We still have not seen an official announcement from Lucasfilm or Disney. But this rumor does make sense since the last time we saw Ezra and Thrawn they were shot into Hyperspace by the purrgil in Star Wars Rebels. Also thanks to The Mandalorian we know that Ahsoka is on the hunt for Thrawn leaving us to believe that he is still alive.

![“Gears Of War” Series May Be Getting Master Chief Collection-Style Remaster Soon [Rumor Watch]](https://thathashtagshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/gears41280jpg-fe1878_160w-440x264.jpg)
For me this answer is obvious. I believe Ezra and Thrawn will both appear mainly in the new Ahsoka series, and after that in possible crossovers with The Mandalorian.
Thrawn has the potential to be a major antagonist, but there is also the possibility of him becoming almost an anti hero later on if they decide to go big and dip further into Legends for much bigger villans like a possible showdown with a live action Abeloth, since there has already been the episodes with The Ones in Rebels. This could allow them to introduce many other charicters within the same storylines and the end results could even help explain why Luke turns out the way he does in the movies. Perhaps Mara is introduced as well as a son but both end up dying at the hands of abeloth, or even worse, his son turns into a new version of Darth Caedus.
Many possibilities.
