One of the most surprising names in the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII is Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis, Sucker Punch), an actor barely even rumoured for a role. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Isaac says that he "could not be more excited to be a part of the Star Wars saga. It still seems hard to believe. Star Wars is a huge part of my family. Collecting toys, throwing themed parties. We had a big one for Return of the Jedi. I came as a gonk droid."
Isaac talked about his fondness for director JJ Abrams. "There are some big movies that are quite good. And interesting, and have interesting stories. I think one person in particular is JJ, JJ Abrams. He makes really good stories. He puts a lot of heart into them. They don’t feel like they’re just exploitive." The actor doesn't really shed any details on the highly anticipated film, but he does hope that audiences get something unexpected. "I think there are a lot of different films you can be surprised by, and that have the element of the unknown and I think it is very important. It’s very important. That’s why I do understand some secrecy with certain films, not wanting to let it out." Star Wars: Episode VII arrives on December 18, 2015.
