Update: A source told SWNN that the rumor shared below is not accurate. We don’t have any details to add but as of today, Natalie Portman is not in negotiations to return to Ahsoka Season 2.
BEWARE: THE STORY BELOW HAS BEEN CORRECTED
Ahsoka Season 2 could be bringing back another fan favorite. According to friend of the site Kristian Harloff, Natalie Portman may be close to signing a deal to return as Padmé in the new season.
From what he’s hearing, Dave Filoni has been pushing hard to bring Portman back into the Star Wars fold. This comes after Harloff has recently reported that Ahsoka will bring back Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker, and Ariana Greenblatt’s young Ahsoka. He says he believes the two sides are close to reaching a deal.
If the previous casting reports didn’t come across as a surprise, this one certainly does. Regarding how Padmé will be brought into the story, Harloff speculates that it will be via the World Between Worlds, which may give some insight into how the others may factor in. In Season 1, the World Between Worlds was the vehicle that allowed the show to venture into Clone Wars-era flashbacks. Of course, there are other ways to do flashbacks, so we will have to wait and see how Ahsoka goes about it if they are upping the scale of their story.
Portman has not appeared in a Star Wars project since Revenge of the Sith. In 2023, she indicated that she would be open to returning to the role but had not been asked. This wouldn’t be the first time she had made a surprise comeback to a major franchise after a long absence. In 2022 she played a major role in Thor: Love and Thunder after skipping Thor: Ragnarok.
Ahsoka Season 2 will reportedly start production this spring, possibly around April. Thus far, the only reported piece of casting for the upcoming season has been Rory McCann’s recasting as Baylan Skoll. The rest of the main cast is expected to return.
Nate uses his love for Star Wars and movies in general as a way to cope with the pain of being a Minnesota sports fan. When he’s not at the theater, you can usually find Nate reading a comic, listening to an audiobook, or playing a Mario video game for the 1,000th time.
Fans of Natalie Portman may be disappointed to hear that the actress is not currently in negotiations to appear in the second season of the hit Disney+ series “Ahsoka.” Despite rumors circulating online, sources close to the production have confirmed that there are no plans for Portman to join the cast at this time.
While Portman’s fans may have been excited at the prospect of seeing her in the “Star Wars” universe once again, it seems that they will have to wait a little longer for any potential return. In the meantime, viewers can still look forward to seeing Rosario Dawson reprise her role as Ahsoka Tano in the upcoming season.
Stay tuned for more updates on “Ahsoka” and any potential casting news in the future.
