Square Enix game director Tetsuya Nomura says he wants to add Star Wars and Marvel characters and settings to the upcoming franchise installment, Kingdom Hearts III (KH3).

In an interview with fansite Finaland, Nomura dishes on the potential additions of Luke Skywalker and Thor to KH3.

"We're not going to decide it whether Kitase-san likes Star Wars or not but we've been talking about Star Wars itself since it became Disney's content recently," Nomura told the site. "When I eared the news I was like 'Wow ! Wow !' Yeah obviously it's gonna be great if we could add it, but like I said there are a lot of restrictions and rules by Disney so we don't know what's gonna happen but yeah, we'll see."

Nomura also explained the acquisition difficulties KH3 faces by potentially adding on the Marvel and Star Wars franchise characters.

"Of course it would be great if we could add those licenses as well. But there are lots of rules and restrictions by Disney so we can't actually put everything people want," Normua said. "It's a quite difficult decision but we're going to prepare some surprises for you so, just wait for the information."

The game director additionally spoke about multiplayer capabilities in the KH3, giving fans the series hope for different playable characters.

"The 'Kingdom Hearts' series always had Sora as the main character, so we want to make the most of Sora, playable Sora of course. But again, 'Kingdom Hearts III' is going to be the last chapter of the Kingdom Hearts main numbering title series," Nomura said. "Lots of fans actually want to play as their favorite characters in 'Kingdom Hearts III'...we will listen to what fans wants but hopefully we could give you some surprises in the future announcements."

The development of KH3 was announced during Sony's E3 2013 press conference. The title will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One game consoles. There is no official release date at this time.
