A release on the official Star Wars website has listed a variety of actors including Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, King Kong), John Boyega (Attack the Block, Law and Order: UK), Daisy Ridley (Silent Witness, Toast of London), Adam Driver (Girls, Lincoln), Oscar Isaac (Sucker Punch, Robin Hood), Domnhall Gleeson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, True Grit), and Max von Sydow (The Exorcist, Minority Report).
These new faces will be working alongside Star Wars veterans Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker.
"We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again," said director J.J. Abrams. "We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."
Seeing talented actors like Max von Sydow and Andy Serkis on the cast list has done a lot to reassure many fans (myself included) that Episode VII will be the great Star Wars film we've been waiting for.
Some recent Star Wars rumors suggest that Harrison Ford's fan favourite Han Solo will have a leading role, Max von Sydow will be playing the villain, and the film's subtitle will be "The Ancient Fear." At this point it's difficult to tell what's fact or speculation, but Abrams will surely keep our wait interesting with more teasers and casting information.
Episode VII is set to open worldwide on December 18, 2015.
