The news of Goth's signing for the film comes after The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Oscar winner Mikey Madison was initially offered the part of a villain but passed on the offer due to pay issues. Now, it seems that Goth will be snatching up the role, marking out a continuously busy run of movies that will certainly draw some attention.

Goth is the latest actor to be cast in Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy’s highly anticipated take on the Star Wars universe. Ryan Gosling, who noted, “There just really is not a more perfect filmmaker for this particular story than Shawn,” was confirmed to be starring in the film in April after months of speculation.
