Rising star Jack Reynor seems to be on a winning streak at the moment, with claims this week that he has clinched a role in JJ Abrams' new Star Wars movie.
Reynor, who came to attention in Lenny Abrahamson's What Richard Did, is already making his mark on Hollywood with roles in Transformers: Age of Extinction and Delivery Man, alongside Vince Vaughn and Chris Pratt, and IFTN is now reporting that the 22-year-old could be taking on his biggest challenge yet. It is understood that Reynor is one of a number of Irish actors vying to join the cast of the Star Wars: Episode VII, with Michael Fassbender and Saoirse Ronan also believed to be in the running.
The movie will begin shooting at Pinewood Studios in May and will be the first Star Wars film to be released since Disney purchased Lucas Film for $4.05 billion in 2012.
