How John David Washington Wearing A 'Star Wars' Mask Almost Convinced 'Rogue One's' Director To Not Hire Him For 'The Creator'

Rogue One director Gareth Edwards is adding another sci-fi movie to his filmography, and it may somehow be his biggest one yet, despite being outside the Star Wars universe. The Creator stars John David Washington and more whose characters are in the midst of a fictional war between AI and humanity, and the futuristic adaptation has attracted great reviews from critics calling it "life-changing." The Tenet co-star is no stranger to a spectacle flick, making him a perfect fit for the lead role, but he almost cost himself the lead role by wearing a Star Wars mask to his first meeting with the director.
