In Attack of the Clones, one of the storylines revolved around the discovery of a secret army of clones.

The clones were copies of Jango, and it was further revealed that fan favorite Boba Fett was actually a cloned Jango, being raised as his own son.

Daniel Logan played a young version of Boba Fett in that film.

While sources say Morrison is playing Boba Fett, it's always possible that something sneaky involving cloning is going on.

It will feature other series newcomer including actor Michael Biehn and directors such as Alita: Battle Angel's Robert Rodriguez and Ant-Man's Peyton Reed.

Morrison appeared in 2018's Aquaman as Tom Curry, father to Jason Momoa's hero, and had a role in last year's Dora and the Lost City of Gold.

He has kept his connection to Star Wars by voicing Jango and Boba Fett, as well as other characters, in various Star Wars video games. »
