"Star Wars Episode 7" actor Adam Driver was up for a role in "Batman vs. Superman," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Driver, who has yet to disclose his new "Star Wars" role, may have been up for the role of Dick Grayson in the "Man of Steel" sequel, according to a report from TheWrap in November 2013.
"A source tells TheWrap that at least two other actors may be in the mix to play Grayson, the Caped Crusader's former sidekick, who's been estranged from Bruce Wayne for years in the movie, according to Latino Review," TheWrap reports.
Soon after Driver was confirmed as an actor for "Star Wars Episode 7," THR confirmed the "Girls" actor was being courted by Warner Bros.
"Securing Driver, who likely will play a villain, was more complicated. The actor also was sought for a role in Warner Bros.' Batman-Superman movie and had to work around his schedule on HBO's Girls. But by late February, he was on board," THR reports.
Along with Driver, actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson and Max von Sydow join the "Star Wars Epsiode 7" cast. "Star Wars" alum Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker will also be joining the film.
"We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud," director J.J. Abrams said in a statement.
"Star Wars Episode 7" is slated to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
