There are a lot of rumours doing the rounds regarding the about-to-star-shooting STAR WARS EPISODE VII, but this one has a bit of weight to it as Entertainment Weekly reports that Harrison Ford is the co-lead, along with three newcomers, in the sequel.
A source at EW broke down what they knew with the following header:
EW was able to obtain the following details “from sources with direct information about the project who spoke on condition of anonymity.”
– Casting began in earnest in January.
– At press time, several roles have yet to be filled, including a major female lead.
– Michael Arndt’s initial script has been significantly overhauled by Abrams and Kasdan, which led to a delay in casting.
– Hamill, Fisher, and Ford had been secured to return for Episode VII before the Disney sale in 2012.
– Hamill, Fisher, and Ford will all have “significant” roles.
– Han Solo is considered a co-lead alongside 3 of the younger actors.
So, an entire movie co-led by Han Solo? How do you feel about seeing that? We’re guessing you’re excited as we are.
STAR WARS EPISODE VII stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max Sydow, and Daisy Ridley and will hit cinemas on December 18, 2015.
