Even though he may be most known for his roles in Lord of the Rings and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it’s Dominic Monaghan’s role in Lost that ties him with Star Wars Episode VII director J.J. Abrams. According to the actor, he has spoken to his old friend about possibly making an appearance in the newest Star Wars movie. While we already know that Abrams has plans on using a bunch of new and unknown actors in the movie. And apparently Abrams told this directly to Monaghan. “We’ve talked about it a few times,” he said in an interview with Dweebcast. “Once I knew that he was doing Star Wars, obviously I sent him a little congratulatory message and stuff. We’ve talked about it a bit, and [Abrams] said ‘We’re putting together a cast of unknowns. We want to follow the ’77 New Hope cast because obviously Harrison Ford wasn’t well known at that point, Mark Hamill wasn’t and Carrie Fisher wasn’t either.’” He added that Abrams didn’t want people to watch the movie only to focus on the actors playing the roles, but the roles themselves. “What he said was, ‘We don’t want to fall into that mistake of people going, ‘Oh, it’s that guy from that thing!’ and then you’re completely out of the Star Wars universe.’” If he gets the part, he would be joining Girls’ Adam Driver and the main cast of the original movie who are pretty much confirmed. What role would you like to see him in, if you’d want to even see him in the movie at all? Sound off below!

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.
When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
