15 Actors Who Would Be Great In Star Wars: Episode 7

7. Daniel Day-Lewis

Despite the fact that it will never happen since he never signs on for blockbusters or sequels, how cool would it be to have the greatest living actor playing a potentially iconic rule in a Star Wars movie? Daniel Day-Lewis is notoriously picky about the projects that he accepts but maybe, somehow, Disney could convince him to star in one of the upcoming films. My personal choice for his role would be as Grand Admiral Thrawn, even though it's unlikely that the Thrawn series will be adapted into films. If it was for JJ Abrams sequels or for one of the spinoffs, Daniel Day-Lewis's chameleonic abilities would enable him to literally play any kind of role and be excellent in it.

I love movies, literature, history, music and the NBA. I love all things nerdy including but not limited to Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Firefly. My artistic idols are Dylan, Dostoevsky, and Malick and my goal in life is to become like Bernard Black from Black Books. When I die, I hope to turn into the space baby from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
