Up-and-coming actress Christina Chong is the latest British performer to be linked to the forthcoming Star Wars film.
The actress, last seen in 24: Live Another Day, is reported to have landed a supporting role in JJ Abrams' upcoming seventh instalment of the sci-fi series, although her involvement is yet to be officially confirmed.
Chong, who has also appeared in TV shows such as Doctor Who and Black Mirror as well as Madonna's period drama W.E., could be joining other British talent in the new film, including Andy Serkis and John Boyega alongside relative unknown Crystal Clarke, who is currently studying drama at the Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow.
The involvement of Chong has been reported by Latino Review, but Disney has not confirmed her role.
Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are returning to star in Episode VII, reprising their roles as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia respectively, from the original trilogy. Episode VII remains on course for a December 2015 release date.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
