The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story reshoots have been something of a hot topic among the fans due to an assortment of rumors that came with them. When asked about his involvement in the movie, Mads Mikkelsen had informed an outlet that they were close to wrapping right around the time that Star Wars Celebration Anaheim happened.

UPDATE: The article written by Digital Spy was actually composed a few weeks ago, meaning that. The wording of this article has been updated to reflect that. We apologize for the inconvenience.

From Digital Spy:

Digital Spy: Have you been involved in the reshoots on Rogue One? Mads Mikkelsen: Yes I have, and they will be done soon I guess, so yes in a few days. DS: Did that mess up your schedule at all, since you presumably weren’t expecting them? Mikkelsen: No, it’s kind of normal. In all the big-production films I’ve done so far, they have always called me back for little reshoots, it might be something that they want to change, the way we did it was wrong, or it might be something that they wanted to add so it’s kind of a normal process on big films, they’re covering all their bases. DS: Were you a fan of the Star Wars movies when you were younger? Mikkelsen: I am now, but no, I did not grow up with it, I grew up with Bruce Lee and stuff like that. I never watched the Star Wars films and I never watched the James Bond films, so I caught up on that later in my life, and what a treat I was in for. DS: How was working with Gareth Edwards on Rogue One? Mikkelsen: Wonderful, he made it quite easy for us to feel like we are in a real film in a real situation and forgetting about all the circumstances, all the monsters, all the spaceships, all the planets, so he was a real actors’ man for us.

It had previously been reported that the movie would take anywhere between four and eight weeks to film the reshoots when taking the cast’s schedules into account; it appears as though the amount of time allocated to the reshoots were a bit closer to the smaller end of the estimate. Nonetheless, that’s still more than enough time to integrate the revised shots into what will become the final cut.
