Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie is also part of the team! With this, the actress expressed overwhelming bliss at the San Diego Comic-Con as she shared:
"That was a real, real dream come true."
"That was like nothing you ever imagined," she explained. "It's so burnt into our minds. It's burnt into my mind. I was shown those movies when I was a tiny little girl and then, to be a part of that thing that you held in such high regard, that's been your escapism and your love and your entertainment and it's been not just yours but everyone around you, I'm incredibly lucky. And it's a lot of fun" (Mirror)
One of the recent assumptions about the plot is the appearance of Darth Vader to be played by WWE champion Sheamus who teased:
Another thing to watch out for in the upcoming sequel is the return of the Stormtroopers, as confirmed by The Jay and Silent Bob actor Kevin Smith. He revealed that he was very emotional on set after signing a non-disclosure agreement, and this was pretty evident on his recent Instagram post captioned: "Visited JJ and his EP VII set. I signed the NDA so all I can share are this old Bantha-Tracks subscriber's tears and snotty nose of joy. The Force is WITH this movie. Holy Sith..."
While director JJ Abrams tries to keep every detail about the upcoming film under the blanket, the Clerks director just couldn't hide his excitement about the rising revelations and returns of certain characters, including the fictional soldiers of George Lucas Star Wars', Stormtroopers.
According to Flickering Myth, the actor instantly nodded while smiling from ear to ear when he was asked about the return of these characters.
As to how they will be depicted in the upcoming episode, is still unknown. But the intensity of the plot might live up to the high expectations of fans across the globe as Kevin shared: "This movie though... Dude, I cried four times... [J.J] has f**king captured it, man. He has nailed it."
Star Wars Episode 7 is slated to come out on December 18, 2015.
