Adam Driver Set To Play The Villain In STAR WARS VII
Do we finally have real solid Star Wars VII casting news? Looks like.
Variety is reporting that and other sources like Deadline have confirmed that Girls star Adam Driver has been cast as the main villain in J.J. Abrams’s upcoming Star Wars sequel. While details are still sketchy, Variety’s sources are saying the actor, who was recently featured in the Coens’ Inside Llewyn Davis, is close to signing on the dotted line.
Every actor on the planet seems to have been connected to Star Wars VII since the movie was announced, including hot stars like Benedict Cumberbatch and Chiwetel Ejiofor. The Driver news, however, is the first solidly reported bit of casting news outside of the original cast members returning.
So what do you think of Driver as the Star Wars villain?
