"Simon Pegg has been rumoured for a role in Star Wars Episode VII. The actor is said to be reuniting with his Star Trek Into Darkness director JJ Abrams on the hotly-anticipated Disney sequel. An IGN source claims to have spotted Pegg on set in Abu Dhabi.  Pegg has formerly downplayed the suggestion that he could appear in the film. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not one of my great wishes to be in Star Wars,&amp;quot; Pegg suggested. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d love to go to the cinema and just watch it.&amp;quot; Pegg is famously a fan of the series. His character Tim Bisley was critical of The Phantom Menace in Edgar Wright&amp;#039;s comedy Spaced. The actor also worked with Abrams on Mission: Impossible III.  John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong&amp;#039;o and Gwendoline Christie will feature in the new Star Wars film with Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker reprising their original trilogy roles. Star Wars Episode VII will be released on December 18, 2015.
