Russian actress Margarita Levieva, known for the series ‘Revenge’ has joined the cast of ‘The Acolyte’, the new ‘Star Wars’ series on Disney+. She will have a recurring role on the show.
Fans of “Revenge”, which was a huge success broadcast in Brazil by Globo, must remember Levieva as the fake Amanda Clarke, a con artist who assumes the identity of the protagonist, while the real Amanda (Emily VanCamp) was played by another woman, Emily Thorne, to take revenge on the powerful who destroyed her family.
According to the synopsis available on the official ‘Star Wars’ website, ‘The Acolyte’ will be a mystery thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of dark secrets and emerging powers in the last days of the High Republic era. In the story, a former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they face are more sinister than they ever imagined.
This week, actress Dafne Keen (“Logan”) revealed that the series takes place 100 years before the “Star Wars” movies and explains how the Sith infiltrated the Jedi. According to her, it will be “a story starring the Sith, which has never been done before.”
The clue is in the name of the attraction. After all, the name “Acolyte” (or “Acolyte”) is used in the “Star Wars” universe to designate apprentices of the Sith Lords, who demonstrate a penchant for developing the dark side of the Force.
Developed by Leslye Headland (the creator of Netflix’s “Russian Doll”), the series also stars Lee Jung-jae (“Round 6”), Amandla Stenberg (“Death! Death! Death!”), Manny Jacinto (“The Good Place”), Jodie Turner-Smith (“Queen & Slim”), Rebecca Henderson (“Inventing Anna”), Charlie Barnett (“Russian Doll”), Dean-Charles Chapman (“1917″) and Carrie-Anne Moss (” 1917″) and Carrie-Anne Moss (“1917″) Matrix”).
Currently in production, “The Acolyte” is scheduled for release in August 2023.
