Daniel Craig's 'Star Wars 7' Role Revealed

Daniel Craig is apparently donning the iconic white armour and helmet of the Star Wars storm trooper in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’.

In a rather brilliantly indiscrete moment, the news was revealed by none other than J.J. Abrams’ chum and renowned Star Wars geek, Simon Pegg.

Pegg was trotting the red carpet for his new movie 'Man Up’ in London last night when he dropped the '007 Is In Star Wars’ bombshell.

Asked about his rumoured cameo in the movie, he told The Sun: “I wasn’t a Stormtrooper. Daniel Craig, he was a Stormtrooper.”

Realising his mistake, he then added: “I shouldn’t have said that.”

On the contrary, you really should.

Craig’s small role in the movie, and Pegg’s, had been rumoured since last year, an insider close to the Bond actor saying: “Daniel asked for some sort of secret cameo role - and was happy to have his name left off the posters.

“Fans will love trying to work out which covered up character is him.”

It’s probably now safe to presume that it’s a famous person under each of the storm trooper helmets.

Rumours that Sean Connery is playing Max Rebo remain unsubstantiated.....

We will find out – or actually, probably not find out – when the movie hits cinemas on December 18.
