Angelina Jolie's secret birthday wish could be a role in an upcoming ‘Star Wars’ film.
The 40-year-old actress recently chatted with one of her ‘Unbroken’ actors, Domhnall Gleeson, for the latest issue of Interview magazine. The duo opened up about family, fame and even the award-winning actress’ love for the sci-fi series.
Jolie fired up the questions by asking the former ‘Harry Potter’ actor about his sentiments on the casting for upcoming ‘Star Wars’ films.
Gleeson, who has not opened up about his character in the new ‘Star Wars: Episode VII- The Force Awakens’, was able to share his experience about landing a part in the movie that has been helmed by J.J. Abrams, particularly having a panic attack.
Jolie expressed her understanding of fearing one's tendency to draw attention to oneself especially when revealing details about a big role; the actress-director explained to the 32-year-old actor that she is a private person as well who prefers to focus on family and career.
Interestingly, Brad Pitt’s wife also shared that she would be open to taking on a role in the ‘Star Wars’ universe.
"I'm personally a Boba Fett fan," she told Gleeson, while adding:"Can Boba Fett have a missus?"
Jolie further advised the ‘Ex Machina’ actor that he will be grateful for the part the most when he has children who would be looking up to him.
"The funny thing for you now having done this movie is it will mean so much more to you when one day your little boy is watching it and looks at you in that different way," Jolie said.
In addition, the actress showed appreciation for the ‘Star Wars’ movies which, she believes, offers beautiful and profound messages for its audiences.
Meanwhile, in other ‘Star Wars’ news, Disney is said to be in talks with Ewan McGregor for an “unknown project” that will focus on a new trilogy of films. The actor will reportedly reprise his character Obi-Wan Kenobi from past ‘Star Wars’ films.
If this project is the same as the second anthology film that will highlight Boba Fett’s origin story, Obi-Wan will then make his comeback as a guide for a younger Luke Sywalker.
The upcoming ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ has been scheduled for a release on Dec. 18, 2015. Aside from Gleeson, cast members include Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Kenny Baker as R2-D2 and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca.
Additionally, Andy Serkis, Gwendoline Christie, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Miltos Yerolemou, Max von Sydow and Christina Chong have all signed on to the film.
Aside from ‘The Force Awakens’, ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ also makes its way to the big screen on Dec. 16, 2016 while ‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ has been set for May 26, 2017.
