Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o is set to be one of the new stars that will be introduced in J.J Abrams’ ‘Star Wars: Episode 7’.
Nyong’o, who won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her work on 12 years a slave, is reported to be close to signing a deal which will see her as a main character in the new Star Wars film. It is not known yet who Nyong’o will be playing and rumours are circulating that she could be set to play a Sith lord or a descendent of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
If the Oscar winner does confirm signing onto the project, she will be expecting to line up alongside the three main characters of the original trilogy Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford to the delight of many fans.
