It speaks volumes about a character where, even after their death, people want to see more. And, thanks to comments from Andy Serkis himself, there is a suggestion that we may not have seen the last of the Supreme Leader.

After seeing The Last Jedi, fans were quick to accuse Disney of making things up as they went along. Some even went as far to express their belief that Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams, director of the Force Awakens, had not even discussed the character. But Serkis insists that was not the case.

"We wanted him to have a great deal of mystery, but we did... JJ [Abrams] and I discussed it, and Rian [Johnson] and I did discuss backstories to him, where he came from," he told EW.

"I've been asked to not shed anything, should we want to bring him back in any way whether [in a] prequel or whatever. I think there's something cool about that. It still does remain a mystery for people. I know that some people find it incredibly frustrating, but I think it allows for further exploration and layering at a further point."

Sport and Film. I love them both. And I'm extremely lucky to write about two of my biggest passions in life. Most of the time, I'm at the Daily Express newspaper writing about football, tennis and F1. But, when I'm out of there, I let my imagination run wild and pen down my thoughts on the film series' I love. WhatCulture gives me the chance to write about the movie industry - an industry I really care about. And for that, I'm extremely grateful. And hope you, if you're reading this, enjoy what I think about stuff.
