Gary Oldman May, Or May Not, Be In Talks For "Star Wars: Episode VII"

Gary Oldman has been in films like Harry Potter, The Dark Knight trilogy and now he’s adding one more legendary franchise to his collection – Star Wars. Well, he might be adding it, anyway. The veteran actor hasn’t confirmed his commitment to the J.J. Abrams project, but he did strongly imply it.

So no concrete news on that front, but this is still the first time that Oldman has been linked to the movie (outside of wishful rumors, that is). Plus, it sounds like the actor himself would like to close a deal with Disney too. It’s not the first time he’s been linked to the franchise. In the good ‘ol days, before Episode III went into production, Oldman was rumored for a part in that, but the rumors obviously proved false. Back then, rumors pegged him for the role of General Greivous. Apart from some returning stars, no cast announcements have been made so far for Episode VII, though there have been rumours about both Michael Fassbender and Hugo Weaving making appearances.
