Doctor Who star Matt Smith is returning to the cosmos! Variety reports that the actor, most recently known for his role as Prince Philip in The Crown, has been cast in an undisclosed but “key” role in Star Wars Episode IX.

Knowing how well Star Wars loves to cast tall, posh-sounding British men as officers of the First Order, it’s entirely possible that he’ll join Domnhall Gleeson’s General Hux on the dark side of the galactic struggle — but there’s something to be said for playing against type.

Following the recent reveal that Matt Smith out-earned Claire Foy on The Crown – even though Foy was the true lead of the series – fans are calling on Smith to help even the score. 

A Care2 petition is asking Smith and Netflix to donate the difference in Smith and Foy’s paychecks to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, as a way to “make up for this sexist pay gap.” At time of writing, the campaign has over 24,000 signatures.

Smith and Netflix did not respond to Mashable’s requests for comment.
