Mena Massoud Fuels Star Wars Casting Rumors With Ezra Fan Art
Mena Massoud further fueled speculation that he is set to portray Star Wars: Rebels character Ezra Bridger by sharing a piece of fan art on Instagram. The actor has been a popular choice among fans for the beloved Star Wars character for quite some time. It is speculated the character may appear in a future live-action series on Disney+.
Born and raised on Lothal, Ezra Bridger made his debut in Star Wars: Rebels, voiced by Taylor Gray. The child of vocal opponents of the Empire, Ephraim and Mira Bridger, Ezra was orphaned at a young age and left to fend for himself. Ezra joins the crew of the Ghost, not only learning how to rebel against the Empire but also in the ways of the Jedi under Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.) Though he sacrificed himself to save his world from Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), Ezra is alive somewhere in the galaxy. With fellow Rebels favorite Sabine Wren being cast and set to appear in the upcoming Ahsoka series, played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo, many Star Wars fans speculate who may play the young Jedi in his live-action debut, with Massoud being a popular choice among fans. Though the actor has previously addressed the speculation, a recent post on social media has prompted further discussions on whether he is set to wield Ezra's saber on-screen.
