Another New STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Cast Member Revealed
Although production has officially ceased on J.J. Abrams' Star Wars movie, we have word of a very interesting new cast addition: Spirit Warriors' Jessica Henwick, who'll also play Nymeria Sand in Game Of Thrones season 5.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens may have wrapped, but BBC journalist Lizo Mzimba has outed another cast member in a recent Tweet.
Jessica Henwick, 22, is a British actress of Singaporean descent who played the lead role in the BBC TV series Spirit Warriors. She's also appeared in the likes of Obsession: Dark Desires, Silk, and will play one of the "Sand Snakes", Nymeria, in next year's fifth season of Game Of Thrones. Though we don't have any details on who she might be playing in The Force Awakens, there's a good chance it'll be a physical role as Henwick is proficient in Chinese martial art, Wushu. Sounds perfect for some lightsaber-based acrobatics to me, but that remains to me seen of course. Star Wars: The Force Awakens stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong'o, Gwendoline Christie, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.
