Our friends at Ender News were tipped by a reliable source that Jacob Leinbach has been cast for the role of “Mick”, the boy who approaches Ender when he first enters the mess hall and offers the advice to “kiss butt” if needed, so Ender wouldn’t end up like him, not commanding his own army.

It’s worth noting that back in March someone notified us that they asked OSC, via Facebook page (yes, he has one to) about some characters that hadn’t been cast at the time. OSC politely responded that “some characters have been cut from the screenplay” because, as we all know, movies have a strict time limit, so decisions had be made. Here is a screenshot of the post.

This news is unofficial. No official statement has been announcement from production has come out. Though, IMDb does have listed Jacob Leinbach as “Mick”, let us not forget that anyone can go in and add information. We will keep up with this rumor to find out what has become of the casting but right now it seems to contradict the words of OSC.
