Bendict Cumberbatch is rumored to have landed himself a recurring role in all three of Disney's "Star Wars" films.
The Latino Review reports saying the "Sherlock Holmes" actor is not in the franchise are false:
"DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE ABOUT BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH NOT BEING IN STAR WARS. HE IS IN THE MOVIE! In fact, he will be in all three Star Wars films! It's all a smoke screen. Folks, remember when Cumberbatch denied being Khan for over a year? Same situation here. At least give us the benefit of the doubt hence why we are bringing this up. Point is, he lied before and he can lie again. Google it. One more time because it is worth repeating, Benedict Cumberbatch will be in the upcoming Star Wars movies. I don't care if he denies it till opening day. We were right before about him playing Khan, and we will be right again on this one. Technically, his part in Episode VII is very small but the role is much bigger in Episode VIII and Episode IX."
The website also reports that Saoirse Ronan, who starred in the screen adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's "Host," went in to read for a "Solo daughter" role.
Ronan is the second actress who is rumored to be up for the new role. Ksenia Solo, who starred in "Black Swan" alongside Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, was also reportedly reading for the part.
"Apart from the obvious cool factor of the actress having the correct surname for the role, our previously unnamed source - who henceforth shall be known as Jedi Master SQL - informs us that Latvian actress Ksenia Solo is being considered for a role," Jedi News reports. "Pretty solid source telling me that Ksenia Solo is being considered for a role, potentially Solo playing the daughter of Han Solo."
No one from the "Star Wars" camp has confirmed any casting rumors.
