Lupita Nyong'o is in Talks with J.J. Abrams to Play a Lead Role in ‘Star Wars’

Lupita Nyong'o, who recently won Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for his outstanding performance in “12 Years a Slave”, is expected to play a significant role in 'Star Wars: Episode VII'. According to several media sources, Lupita met with film and television producer and director, J.J. Abrams, just a few days back prior to the Oscars.

Lupita has won the hearts of millions of people around the world and made a huge fan base owing to her charismatic personality and acting skills. Her next steps after winning an Oscar for “12 Years a Slave” are causing people to start gossiping as she seems determined to take some important decisions in order to strengthen her film career which has fundamentally begun with considerable excitement and lots of golden opportunities.

She also made into most tweeted selfie picture along with Brad Pitt, Ellen DeGeneres, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie and Jared Leto. She also appeared in Ellen DeGeneres’ show with her Oscar Trophy.

Lupita was born in Mexico, but he spent most of time of his life in Kenya, and got a degree from Yale University School of Drama. She initially had a small part in the MTV show Shuga but she started her acting career with “12 Years a Slave”.

Her prominence has strongly been progressing all the way through the awards season and in the last some days she found herself ambivalent for the very demanding character of Tiger Lily in Warner Bros.’s Pan. She is also being considered to play a role in “The Whole Truth”, opposite James Bond star Daniel Craig.

Now Lupita’s is being considered to play a lead female role in Star Wars. Due to the confidentiality, it has not been confirmed or revealed so far that for what kind of role she is being considered. According to rumors in media, she might play the role of a descendent of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and it has been reported as a non-Caucasian character. That is quite different from the hunt for 2 characters, female and male, for roles in their 20s.

It has been learned that Abrams is still in talks with a number of other actors in this regard. Some media sources reported that Jesse Plemons (known for Breaking Bad) is one of the performers to play one of the roles. Adam Driver is in closing talks to play an unrevealed rogue character.
