The shoot for Star Wars: Episode VII recently wrapped up in Abu Dhabi after a lot of fanfare, and as usual director JJ Abrams did his best to keep details of the productin highly secretive (despite some set photo leaks). We all know what the principal cast of the film looks like since it was officially announced in a press release last month, but is that all the actors in the film?

According to our source, actor Simon Pegg, previously seen in JJ Abram's 'Star Trek' series and 'Mission Impossible 3', is in fact playing a secret role in the film and was present on set to shoot scenes in Abu Dhabi. This is in stark contrast to what Pegg had to say about a possibility of starring in Star Wars previously:

“I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to be in it, to be honest. I think J.J. should cast new faces with no stunt casting.”

Whether he changed his mind or this was a ruse all along, the fact is that Pegg may have an unannounced cameo or role in the film that we don't know about just yet. It's exciting to see a re-union for the two and makes us more enthusiastic for Star Wars: Episode VII if that were even possible.

Star Wars: Episode VII is set for Dec. 18, 2015 release.
