There’s going to be a Den Of Thieves sequel and I couldn’t be more excited (apart from for John Wick: Chapter 3, obviously).

Lots of people are remembering her as Princess Leia, General Organa, but she was also a hugely influential mental health activist, a successful script doctor and a brilliantly funny and insightful author.
