'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Cast: Benicio Del Toro Plays Villain; Possibly Vicrum Fett, Son of Boba Fett

It looks like Benicio Del Toro will be playing the son of an iconic villain in the original Star Wars Trilogy in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." Del Toro is possibly playing Vicrum Fett, who is probably the son of Boba Fett.

According to YouTuber Mark Zeroh, the identity of Del Toro's character, which is so far known as the "Man in Black," has been revealed in a website called wikiwand.com. He was looking at Del Toro's filmography when he saw the character that Del Toro would be playing in "Star Wars Episode VIII."

Zeroh said he saw Del Toro will be playing Vicrum in the movie. But he adds that the intriguing part was it was changed to TBA after only a couple of days. However, doing a Google search of Vicrum Fett will still reveal the wikiwand.com description of Del Toro's filmography and it mentions shows the name of the character, but going to the actual site will only reveal TBA.

Zeroh, though, said that he's not sure if this is really the character Del Toro will be playing and if the character is the son of Boba. He just finds it interesting that it was suddenly changed to TBA after few days of showing Sir Vicrum Fett.

Alex Leadbeater of Screen Rant reports that if indeed Del Toro will be playing the son of Boba Fett in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," it would be "fitting," considering Fett is one of the high-profile names in the original trilogy that didn't make an appearance in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Leadbeater, though, stressed that this information is still considered a rumor, as wikiwand.com listing could be based on false information. But it's still possible that the actor could still be playing a character that's "more important to the galaxy's history than we realize." Check out Zeroh's full video about Del Toro and Vicrum Fett below.
