Earlier today, we received confirmation that Adam Driver would be playing the villainous 'Kylo Ren' in the much-anticipated seventh installment in the Star Wars saga. We also got a look at several of Driver's co-stars, including Lupita Nyong'o filming mo-cap scenes. Now it seems we can tick Gwendoline Christie's character off of the list of unnamed roles. A new image taken from the Star Wars Vanity Fair issue appears to confirm that she will play "First Order Officer, Captain Phasma".

Check out a tweet of the page below:



Many had assumed Christie would turn out to be the woman behind the chrome trooper mask ever since the mysterious character first appeared in the movie's second trailer. What d'you guys think of this development? Let us know your thoughts below!

So Badass, i think she is going to be one hell of a threat, and likely the main baddie of the film

As much as I like Gwedoline, I hate Star Wars so much more.

Let this terrible day end.

The fact that the character is a woman makes it even more interesting. Bring it!

All the names in this film feel like parody Star Wars names.

So I guess they fit the universe well?

Kylo Ren?
Captain Phasma?
Poe Damaron?

I mean, it's like the old joke that your Star Wars name is your first and middle name spelled backwards.

Sorry guys, but these movies are all awful. You're all welcome to like them, but ugh...I can't stand them. The only characters I've even remotely enjoyed watching are Yoda and Darth Maul.

I [frick]ing love Merc's taste in movies haha. I don't necessarily agree with him, but I love that it pisses off everybody (not talking about this thread, just in general) on this site.

But seriously, this is BADASS. Christie is going to own this role, hopefully it's not just a one-and-done thing in The Force Awakens.
