Felicity plays the lead in the movie, but she does not think her gender should be considered a big fuss.

Despite this, Felicity admitted that during her childhood, she would pretend to be a male character rather than the glamorous Princess Leia.
She said: 'I was definitely Han Solo! Or Luke Skywalker. I was a tomboy. I think that's what I tapped into playing Jyn. I was very sporty.'
'I used to play for the Warwickshire Junior Bears cricket team.'
