Abrams, along with casting director Nina Gold, who has worked on both Episode VII and Episode VIII, are searching for a female lead, 40-50 years old, to play the role of “MARA.” It’s common practice for film’s to use code names during the casting process, and that could be the case here. To be clear, we’re only able to confirm that they are looking to fill the role of a female lead who they are calling “MARA.”
Ich kann mir keinen Reim drauf machen, warum sie gerade diesen Namen verwenden, außer den Charakter wirklich zu bringen. Oder die Fans zu trollen.
