These are certainly good times for award-
winning British/Nigeria actor Chiwetel
Ejiofor , as the ‘Half of a yellow sun ’ star is
fast becoming one of the most sought-
after actors in the American film industry.
Following a highly successful and
impressive performance as Solomon
Northup in the widely acclaimed film ’12
Years a Slave ’, there have been recent
reports that the 36-year old actor may be
looking to get cast in the upcoming ‘Star
Wars Episode VII‘.
NET gathered that Ejiofor has been
spotted with Star Wars director, J.J
Abrams in the latter’s office, spurring
rumours that they were both working on
the movie although the reports have not
been verified as the actor has neither
confirmed nor denied the claims.
Abrams has also chosen to remain
secretive about the cast of the film which
is being expected to be in theaters in 2015,
stating that he ‘can’t discuss casting’ at
the time.
Ejiofor is however not a stranger to
starring in sci-fi movies, having featured in
‘Serenity ’ in 2005, and in 2006’s ‘The
Children of Men ’. When asked what his
reaction will be if he got a Star Wars offer,
the actor’s reply was tentative, ‘Well we’ll
see if it happens, you know. I’m not going
to tell you.’ He
