"Spectre" actor Daniel Craig reportedly had a cameo in J.J. Abrams' space sci-fi film "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens."
Sources confirmed to E! News that Craig, who is known as the iconic super spy 007, James Bond, had played the role of a Stormtrooper in Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens."
In May, Simon Pegg, who plays Unkar Plutt in Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," reportedly slipped the said cameo;and in his interview with Entertainment Weekly, Craig denied that he played the role of a Stromtrooper.
The "Spectre" actor said why would he have ever bothered doing something like that. He said, "F***ing hell! Pffft. Play an extra in another movie."
According to reports, Craig's denial on his role implies that the "Spectre" actor would like to keep his role under wraps, as "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" is highly concealed in confidentiality.
Moviegoers have last seen Craig as James Bond in Sam Mendes' action film "Spectre." The actor is set to reprise his role as Bond in another "James Bond" project entitled "Bond 25." Exact details about the film are yet to be revealed.
"Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" is set 30 years after the events in the "Return of Jedi." The film stars Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Max von Sydow, Simon Pegg, Oscar Isaac, and Domhnall Gleeson, among others.
