Disney has confirmed that some shooting on Star Wars Episode VII has started and casting is almost complete, but we still have little official info on who will be playing new characters in the movie. The latest speculation surrounds little-known British actress Maisie Richardson-Sellers.
She has no film credits to her name, but THR reports she is being sought for, “an undisclosed and possibly major role” in the movie.
There presumption is that the actress is up to play a previously rumoured a mixed-race character, who may be a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The character crosses paths with the children of Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher).
As yet though the actress has not been offered a role.
With the main shoot expected to begin next month at Pinewood Studios, expect a lot more casting confirmation to come very soon.
