STAR WARS VII Casting Rumors: Alex Pettyfer and Rachel Hurd-Wood Up For Roles
About the only thing we know for certain about the Star Wars VII cast at this point is that Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford are returning, and that the filmmakers are looking for a specific cast of characters for roles in the upcoming blockbuster.
Last month, there were rumblings that both Zac Efron and Ryan Gosling were up for parts in the film, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker’s sons. While that doesn’t seem to have panned out, there’s a new pair of less substantial actors being linked to the film.
First is Alex Pettyfer, who played Magic Mike’s apprentice in Magic Mike.
Pettyfer is up for as yet unnamed role in the film, according to Latino Review, which speculates that he might be taking on the role of Luke’s son instead of Gosling.
In addition to Pettyfer, we have Rachel Hurd-Wood.
Hurd-Wood apparently went in to read for the role of Princess Leia’s daughter. While she won’t be the only actress reading for the part, the English actress, who starred in Soloman Kane and Perfume, is the first and only actress so far to go in so far.
Filming for Star Wars: Episode VII begins in January, so more solid information will surely be coming in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
