Anthony Daniels, actor who played C-3PO in the "Star Wars" franchise, may have accidentally leaked casting information during New York Comic Con 2013.
According to FilmBuffOnline.com, the actor made a surprising comment during his spotlight panel on Sunday.
"Walls have ears. And we know what they look like. They're very big ears..." he said, referring to no spilling any detail about "Star Wars Episode 7."
However, at the end of the panel discussion, Daniels was asked if we would see his character in the J.J. Abrams installment set to be released in 2015.
"Yes, I am the only actor to be in all seven because I feel -" Daniels said, but then corrected his mistake. "Six! Whatever."
It could have been a slip-up, but since Abrams has kept the project in a shroud of secrecy, a C-3PO appearance could already be in the works.
Daniels could be playing it cool like actor Benedict Cumberbatch when it comes to "Star Wars" rumors. Though Cumberbatch has reportedly denied casting rumors, the Latino Review reports otherwise:
"DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE ABOUT BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH NOT BEING IN STAR WARS. HE IS IN THE MOVIE! In fact, he will be in all three Star Wars films! It's all a smoke screen. Folks, remember when Cumberbatch denied being Khan for over a year? Same situation here. At least give us the benefit of the doubt hence why we are bringing this up.
Point is, he lied before and he can lie again. Google it. One more time because it is worth repeating, Benedict Cumberbatch will be in the upcoming Star Wars movies. I don't care if he denies it till opening day. We were right before about him playing Khan, and we will be right again on this one. Technically, his part in Episode VII is very small but the role is much bigger in Episode VIII and Episode IX."
Cast members from previous "Star Wars" movies are expected to return, such as Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, so bring back Daniels doesn't seem so farfetched.
