Rhys Meyers, the star in the upcoming drama series "Dracula" is rumoured to be cast in the "Star Wars" Episode 7 movie. It is expected to be released in 2015. The story or plot of the movie is still hush-hush and so is the list of cast and crew.

Rhys Meyers is known for his roles in movies like "Mission Impossible 3" and TV shows like "The Tudors." Most of his roles are intense with dark elements in the character. He can be expected to play an antihero, if cast in "Star Wars" Episode 7.

The antihero character in the "Star Wars" Episode 7 can either be a Sith lord or a bounty hunter, according to media pundits. The Sith particularly require an intense character with strong acrobatic skills for light sabre duels. The "Star Wars" Episode 7 is rumoured to begin 20 to 40 years after the episode 6. It is rumoured to mark the return of Han Solo played by Harrison Ford, Luke Skywalker played by Mark Hamill and princess Leia played by Carrie Fisher.

Most of the stars have not confirmed their role in "Star Wars" Episode 7. Based on rumours fans have made a list of actors they would like to see on screen.

"Star Wars" Episode 7 will not be complete without C-3PO and R2-D2. The droids have appeared consistently in all the previous movies from the franchise. Fans can expect them to provide comic relief in the next instalment too.

Many fans believe that the reappearance of the Sith in "Star Wars" Episode 7 will be difficult, if the time period is just after episode 6. The movie had ended with Darth Vader killing the emperor and bringing balance to the force.

"Star Wars" Episode 7 will not be the same without the epic battle between the Jedi order and the Sith. The last remaining Jedi, Luke, is expected to rebuild the Jedi order. Will a new Padawan get seduced by the dark side? Or will the Sith rise from a remote part of the galaxy?

Fans eagerly wait for any news or rumours about their favourite franchise.
