So I read on the Making Star Wars website a few hours ago that Tom Hardy (of Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Revenant fame) will make a small cameo in next year's Star Wars: Episode VIII. Following in the footsteps of Daniel Craig (who played the First Order Stormtrooper who threatened to "tighten the restraints" on Rey while she was held captive at Starkiller Base in The Force Awakens), Hardy is rumored to play another Stormtrooper who has a nice buddy moment with Finn in VIII. Whether or not Hardy removes his helmet (which will probably be unlikely) during that scene remains to be seen.
All I can say is, it would've been really cool if Hardy played Darth Malgus (above) instead. This Sith Lord (who I talked about in a blog entry a few years back) is pretty much like Bane if the Batman villain had yellow eyes, hideous skin, a cool armored suit and a red lightsaber to wreak havoc with. Oh well.
