Daniel Craig May Play a Stormtrooper in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'

Some latest media reports state that 'James Bond' Daniel Craig May appear in the upcoming "Star Wars" instalment, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", as a stormtrooper.

The actor is yet to confirm if he is playing a role in the J.J. Abrams movie.

For a long time, speculations were being made whether the 46-year-old actor had been nabbed by Walt Disney Pictures to play a soldier of the Galactic Empire. Craig reported visit to the film's set at Pinewood strengthened the rumours.

"The man famous for playing James Bond will be in The Force Awakens. 007 will be playing a stormtrooper in the movie," reads the Mikethefilmguy report. The report goes on to say that it is not known what the length of Craig's role in the film will be.

It is being reported that Craig might not have "any lines in the films." The report also urges fans to look for a voice similar to Craig from a stormtrooper when the film hits screens.

Stormtroopers are guided by their leader, Emperor Palpatine, and his commanders. They are the main ground force of the empire and are endowed by extraordinary combat powers. Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin are the ones who lead them. Their armour and training undergo changes according to the operations and circumstances.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has been plagued by leaks and rumours since its filming began. However, according Oscar Isaac, who is one of the cast members, the entire buzz is just adding to the film's excitement.

"I can't speak for the cast and crew, I can just speak for myself, but for me I thought, Don't you want to wait so you can get the real thing?...But it creates excitement for it. I don't think these little leaks necessarily ruined watching the trailer. And also, the [plot theories] that get formulated based on these things - they couldn't be more far off-base," he said according to Screen Rant.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is set to release on 18 December 2015.
