Another “Game of Thrones” actor has reportedly joined the “Star Wars: Episode VII” cast.
Actor Miltos Yerolemou, who played Arya Stark’s “dancing” teacher Syrio Forel, is the lastest addition to the cast, BBC reports. Yerolemou’s role is unknown, but the actor joins fellow “Game of Thrones” cast member Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) in the upcoming film. The "Star Wars" camp has yet to publicly comment on Yerolemou's casting.
The production also stars newcomers Lupita Nyong'o, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson and Max von Sydow. Actors Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker have also signed on to reprise their roles.
“Star Wars: Episode VII” recently resumed filming at Pinewood Studios after a hiatus to allow Ford (Han Solo) time to heal from an ankle injury that occurred on set.
Franchise newcomer Driver recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the Disney and Lucasfilm production. The “Girls” actor couldn’t reveal any specific details about the plot, but explained fans can expect the film to expand on the “Star Wars” universe.
“The thing about Star Wars that’s so good—sure there’s this huge [canvas],” Driver told . “It’s space, it’s a long time ago in a galaxy far away. That’s set up immediately. But in the midst of all those things, what has made those movies last so long is that they’re all grounded, which is something that is not so far off from every movie with huge universal themes of siblings and parents and betrayal and trust. That’s so generic and obvious, but it’s hard to balance those things.”
“Star Wars: Episode VII” will be released to theaters in Dec, 18, 2015.
