LOS ANGELES, Oct 4: Actor Warwick Davis has confirmed he will return for the upcoming instalment of “Star Wars” franchise.
Davis, however, refused to tell what character he would play. “I do, yes,” he said about starring in the film. “That’s all I can say.”
“I enjoyed [‘The Force Awakens’] immensely. I’m excited by JJ Abrams work anyway, I love his style. For me it’s very reminiscent of the films I went to when I was a kid. I loved ‘Super 8’ and I love [‘Star Trek Beyond’], and it just reminded me of many of the great films of the 1980s. There was such a great energy, I think he captured the humor of the original trilogy so well.”
The 46-year-old actor teased what to expect from the follow-up to “The Force Awakens” by saying, “It’ll leave us with some cliffhangers,” reported Aceshowbiz.
“I think [‘The Force Awakens’] sets up the trilogy very well,” he said. “Obviously we’re moving into the territory of ‘Episode VIII’ very soon as well. And much like ‘Empire Strikes Back’, I’m sure it’s going to deliver some quite impactful story moments, and it’ll leave us with some cliffhangers as well which resolve in [‘Star Wars Episode IX’].”
“Star Wars Episode VIII” is set for a December 15, 2017 release in US theatres. It centres on the story of Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Leia (Carrie Fisher) and other characters as they fight back the force of the First Order.
Other returning cast members include Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Dohmnall Gleeson, Lupita Nyong’o and Andy Serkis who reprise their roles as Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, General Hux, Maz Kanata and Supreme Leader Snoke respectively. They are joined by Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran. (PTI)
