It looks like one of the actresses from Star Wars: Episode VII will be continuing to portray her role in further Star Wars movies.
Will 'Episode VII' Have A Monastery?
On Thursday, Deadline mentioned that newcomer Daisy Ridley who's been cast in the seventh installment will be carried through to the second and third Star Wars movies that will be directed by Rian Johnson. The site also mentioned that Ridley is the female lead for the seventh film.
There's no word yet on what her character's name will be or what she'll be doing, but she is apparently the lead who will not stop her way with just one film.
Will One Of The Actors Do His Own Stunts?
Other cast members in Episode VII include Domhnall Gleeson, Adam Driver, Crystal Clarke, Lupita Nyong'o and John Boyega. Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher are also expected to reprise their roles as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia.
Disney CEO Bob Iger recently spoke of the film and how things appear to be going smoothly so far.
"I can only tell you that production is underway," Iger said when he was on CNBC's "Closing Bell," published on Business Insider. "We had a very brief hiatus...which is due in part to the fact that Harrison Ford broke his ankle."
"The footage we've seen is very, very exciting to us," Iger added. "I think there's about 500 days left between now and December 18, 2015 when the movie comes out. That doesn't seem like very long."
Some other cast members include Andy Serkis, Max von Sydow and Gwendoline Christie.
