Get ready to see James Bond and Han Solo join forces as Daniel Craig has only gone and bagged himself a last-minute role in Star Wars Episode 7.

The 46-year-old actor, famous for his role as Bond, James Bond, apparently begged director JJ Abrams for a part in the upcoming sure-to-be-a-massive-hit sci-fi flick.

And JJ Abrams was only too happy to act as Craig’s fairy godfather, granting him the wish.


According to reports, Craig has already filmed his mystery role, which involved him heading to Pinewood Studios in secret for two days last week.

Fans might not even guess which part Craig is playing as his face won’t even be on screen, according to a source.

One insider told The Sun: ‘Daniel is close friends with JJ Abrams. He asked for some sort of secret cameo role – and was happy to have his name left off the posters.



‘Fans will love playing the guessing game trying to work out which covered-up character is Daniel.’

While he did a good job going undercover, Craig was spotted hanging out in the dressing room of Carrie Fisher, a friend of his, who is reprising her role as Princess Leia.

Star Wars Episode 7 is slated for a December 2015 release date.
