The Hollywood Reporter claims:
"Speculation is swirling like the mists of Dagobah around newcomer Maisie Richardson-Sellers. Several sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that she is in line to nab an undisclosed and possibly major role in the high-profile Disney/Lucasfilm production."Principle photography gets underway very soon so we should know for sure in the next few weeks just who will be appearing in the movie.
