Star Wars Episode 7 Casting Rumors: ‘The Lorax’ Star Zac Efron Under Negotiations With J.J. Abrams – ‘I Just Went And Met With Them’

Star Wars Episode 7 Casting Rumors Update Here!

Despite Walt Disney's attempt to keep things under wrap as far as Star Wars Episode 7 casting is concerned, the press has its way of getting the news from the stars themselves.

The latest, but most certainly not the least star to spill the beans is Zac Efron, the "High School Musical" star was asked by MTV regarding his involvement with J.J. Abrams' project, and much to fans delight he answered: "Yeah, I just went and met with them. So I don't know. It would be cool. I love [the Star Wars movies], I love them, but... who knows?"

Well he could very well be playing Han Solo's son in the movie, knowing that the team has been looking for a young guy to play the role.

Meanwhile, Carrie Fisher, has also revealed to TV Guide that she will be back for Episode 7 to reprise her role as Princess Leia, although this isn't the first time for the veteran Star Wars actress to claim such news.

Fisher revealed that she together with two other veteran actors Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill are getting ready for the filming on March or April, as the script has just recently been finished.

Both Ford and Hamill will be back to reprise their respective roles on the film, Ford as Han Solo while Hamill as Luke Skywalker.

"I'd like to wear my old hairstyle again, but with white hair" Fisher admitted to TV Guide, referring to Leia's iconic cinnamon bun hairdo.

"I think that would be funny," she quipped.

On the other hand, Mark Hamill refuses to join Fisher's revelation as he has told in a Q&A portion on Reddit:

"The only character I know for sure is returning is my friend R2-D2. He hasn't stopped beeping about it.

I'm not being coy, really. When I find something out, I'll let everybody know. But nothing has been decided yet"

As far as Star Wars Episode 7 casting rumors go, the return of the three veteran actors on the film, are the most likely to become a reality, as it has previously been reported that this episode would focus on Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo, before they'll be given a proper send off.

With the film scheduled for release on December 18 next year, it's most likely that we'll be getting more revelations on the plot and casting of the film.
