It seems like it’s only a matter of time before the rumor mill for Star Wars Episode VII churns out Ben Affleck’s name. I mean, dozens of other actors and actresses have been directly or tangentially linked to J.J. Abrams next film.
Wednesday Crave’s CinemaBlend dropped Alex Pettyfer and Rachel Hurd-Wood into the mix as possibilities for Luke Skywalker’s son and Princess Leia’s daughter.
Pettyfer was an alien in I Am Number 4, Hurd-Wood was an unlikely rebel in Tomorrow, When the War Began, so maybe they are both sort of there already. (Hey, if the interwebs are going to toss these rumors out, we might as well make weird connections and toss them back in!)
Star Wars Episode VII is expected to start shooting in 2014 for a mid-2015 release.
