Disney+ Skeleton Crew Fans urged to search for hidden character after standout performance
Fans of the new Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew, are buzzing about a possible hidden character played by Nick Frost after a “scene-stealing” appearance in the first two episodes. Frost, known for his roles in Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, voices the droid SM-33 in the show, who joins a group of lost children on an unexpected adventure through space. Fans and critics alike have been praising Frost’s performance, with many hoping to see more of him in the upcoming episodes.
Some eagle-eyed viewers have pointed out the clever reference in Frost’s character name, SM-33, which spells out Smee, a nod to Mr. Smee from the Peter Pan story. Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement, with one fan calling SM-33 “the coolest guy ever” and another appreciating Frost’s portrayal, saying, “Nick Frost is awesome ‘SM-33’ I see what you did there.”
Fans are eagerly scanning each episode for a possible live-action appearance by Frost, especially after writer and director Jon Favreau hinted that Frost could potentially play more than one character on the show. Frost himself has expressed his enthusiasm for more opportunities in the Star Wars universe, voicing his interest in appearing as SM-34 or SM-35 in addition to SM-33.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew episodes 1 and 2 are now available for streaming on Disney+, with new episodes releasing every Wednesday. So, keep an eye out for Nick Frost’s character and enjoy the adventure!
