As seems to be tradition in the Star Wars universe, we know very little about spinoff Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - though someone has spilled a spoiler.

Mads Mikkelsen has revealed his role in the film - he'll be playing the dad of Felicity Jones's heroine Jyn.

The Hannibal star told Sky News that he was "a little scared" when he got offered the part as he didn't know what he'd be doing - or wearing.

"I mean, I wasn't really sure whether I was wearing a Storm Trooper outfit or anything like that at that point," he explained.

"I read the script and it was very beautiful and Felicity's playing Jyn, a young and very strong woman. I play her father - and that was too much, I'm sorry."

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released on December 16 in the UK and US. Watch the trailer below:
