Temuera Morrison Wants to Play Captain Rex in Live-Action

Jango Fett actor Temuera Morrison need to play the animated graphic symbol Captain Rex in a live - actionStar Warsfilm . The New Zealander is no stranger to the galaxy far , far aside as he work Jango Fett - the image on which the clone regular army was based and , more significantly , the father of everybody ’s favorite bounty hunter , Boba Fett ( whom he re - recorded agate line for in the 2004 DVD re - releases of the originalStar Warstrilogy ) - in the prequel trilogy . Since then , he has also partaken in several other properties from the famed enfranchisement as a voice role player , bringing to sprightliness some of the video game characters like Boss inStar Wars : Republic Commando , all the troopers inStar state of war : Battlefrontand then voiced Boba Fett again in DICE’sStar Wars Battlefrontreleased in 2015 .

First seem inStar warfare : The Clone Warsand presently inStar Wars Rebels , Captain Rex is a staple of anyStar Warsanimated telly series set up in the prequel epoch . Understandably so given that he is a clone trooper who finally turned against the malign Galactic Empire when lodge 66 was executed . Now , in the ongoingRebelsstoryline , he is a fundamental extension of the Ghost Crew and a true plus to the budding Rebellion , who have help pave the way to end the ruthless formula of those he was suppose to serve .

Sitting down with the prescribed web site ofStar Wars , Morrison reminisced on his scant but memorable stint in the springy - action celluloid both via traditionally playing Jango and vocalise him , Boba and some of the cavalryman . However , he admit that he wants to return to the lore and he believe taking the function of Captain Rex in a motion-picture show is the most plausible way to go :

They ’re all in my Jango Fett blood line – I have knockoff lining up . Then , of course , there ’s Captain Rex , who ’s an iconic character . I ’ve also voiced various games . What ’ll make me really glad is if I get the speech sound call asking me to recreate another character – an older Captain Rex or something . I require to pop in on one of these raw one , that would be great . paint a picture it to them for me ! have ’s get on to it !

In hindsight , the animated Rex somehow resemble the older Morrison , so much so that the suggestion is not really unmanageable to imagine . But at this point , no alive - action pic is even being bruit to be in development that is put in the currentRebelsera as the serial publication ' events directly feed intoRogue One : A Star Wars Story . What is on the docket , however , is a Boba Fettbounty huntsman twirl - offwhich the Kiwi actor could possibly join given his on - concealment Logos ’s amour in it .

Several calendar week ago , speculation rounded the cyberspace when a fan spotted a Rex - looking Johnny Reb inStar Wars : Episode VI - Return of the Jediduring the Battle of Endor keeping fans hopeful that maybe the clone trooper was actually still a part of the Rebellion in the original trilogy , we just did not see him because much of the attention was with Luke ( Mark Hamill ) , Han ( Harrison Ford ) and Leia ( Carrie Fisher ) . Unfortunately , the claim wasquickly refutedand now the circumstances of the clone cavalryman is still nameless specially withRebels ' net seasonteasing to be a grueling battle between the Freedom Fighters and the royal forces . For all we hump , he could bite the detritus by the time the Disney XD series wraps up .
