Maslany is apparently up against Rooney Mara, who starred in the movie Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, who will be testing for the part sometime this week.

The Gareth Edwards spinoff of Star Wars is scheduled to hit theaters December 26, 2016.

Neither Disney nor Maslany’s rep had any comment regarding the screen test.
