Fresh off his role as Prince Philip in
The Crown (oh, and a rather obscure British TV show called
Doctor Who), Matt Smith has
joined the cast of the yet-unnamed ninth installment of the
Star Wars saga. He joins Dominic Monaghan, Keri Russell, Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant as newcomers to the series.
Episode IX is scheduled to open on December 20th, 2019.
