10 Movie & TV Spoilers We Didn't Know Last Week (4th Sept)

6. Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Noah Segan May Be In Star Wars VII, VIII & IX

We all know that Rian Johnson's going to be directing Star Wars: Episode 8 (and maybe 9 as well), but details on what exactly we can expect to see in his film(s?) have been hard to come by, and understandably so: there's kind of another movie coming out way before VIII that everybody's reserving most of their excitement for. But an interesting rumour has just come out about some possible casting for the movies: namely, that Johnson regular cast members Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Noah Segan may be making appearances in both Episodes VIII & IX, with Gordon-Levitt making an introductory cameo in JJ Abrams' VII. Both actors appeared alongside one another in Rian Johnson's Brick and Looper, and certainly have the chops to bring something interesting to the Star Wars, but we'll likely be waiting a while to see if this rumour turns out to be accurate. It wouldn't surprise us, though, as the writer-director has been known to go back to the well in terms of actors.
