Star Wars Episode 7 Cast Revealed! ‘Girls’ Star Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley & More Will Join Original Stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher & Mark Hamill

Finally! Star Wars Episode 7 cast has been revealed! According to an article of Variety, Disney and Lucasfilm made the official announcement on Tuesday.

And who will be joining the force in J.J. Abrams' seventh installment to the most successful sci-fi franchise?

'Girls' star Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow are among the chosen ones.

They will join original stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker and R2-D2, who was actually the first cast confirmed to be joining Star Wars Episode 7.

Jedi News recently reported that Carrie Fisher who played Princess Leia was spotted in UK with her dog. The report claimed that Fisher was in UK as early as Tuesday, a few days prior to shooting.

The second member of the "big three" Harrison Ford, was also spotted in London on April 24, while he was leaving London's Hakkasan restaurant.

The third and certainly not the least is Mark Hamill, the actor who played the iconic role of Luke Skywalker was allegedly spotted in UK as well.

It was previously reported by The Hollywood Reporter that Peter Mayhew will be back to reprise his role as Chewbacca.

The online publication claims that Peter Mayhew will be reprising his role as Chewbacca, Han Solo's trusted number two Wookie.

Speculations to the said news arise following Mayhew's cancellation of his appearance at the Comicpalooza "due to filming."

Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn revealed that Star Wars episode 7 had begun filming at the start of the month, where he added that most of the cast had already been chosen.

In other Star Wars episode 7 news director J.J. Abrams has been very open with his disappointment about the film being shot in UK, saying that Disney's decision to continue the movie's tradition of filming in London studios "really does make me insane."

However, the film had to be shot outside of the London studios as not everything could be filmed inside the studio.

Badass Digest revealed that Star Wars Episode 7 production will start in Morocco for two weeks with a possible trip to Tunisia. "The latter was the original setting used to double for Tatooine, home planet of the Skywalkers, and some of the sets that were built still remain as weathered monuments to the making of the films."

With that said, there's a possibility that Star Wars Episode 7 plot could include Tatooine in it, but with Disney getting everything under wraps it's really hard to tell.

Star Wars Episode 7 is expected to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
