Zac Efron confirms talks to join new Star Wars film
Zac Efron is the latest actor to confirm he is in talks to join the new instalment of the Star Wars saga.
The former High School Musical star is one of a handful of young actors who is being considered by Disney bosses for the sci-fi franchise's latest reboot.
In an interview with MTV News, reporter Josh Horowitz asked Efron
and his That Awkward Moment co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Miles
Teller who out of the three would be "most likely to be in a Star
Wars movie", and Efron reluctantly admitted he was already in the
running.
The star responded, "Yeah, I just went and met with them (Disney
executives). So I don't know. It would be cool. I love the Star
Wars movies I love them, but who knows?"
The news of Efron's possible involvement comes weeks after Star
Wars: Episode VII director J.J. Abrams confirmed that Breaking Bad
star Jesse Plemons is also in talks for a major role.
Abrams went on to reveal that original castmembers Carrie Fisher,
Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford are all onboard to return.
The film, the first of three new installments, is expected to hit
cinemas in December 2015.
