It appears as if the highly anticipated installment finally goes beyond rumor, as sources say the Girls star is close to finishing a deal that would make him the next Star Wars villain. Driver is thirty years old and is the first cast member to be revealed, his character is said to be Darth Vader-esque.
The movie will be directed by J.J. Abrams, produced by Kathleen Kennedy, and is set to shoot at London’s Pinewood Studios in April. No release date has been set, but additional cast members are expected to be revealed within the next month.
