Gwendoline Christie will be back in her chrome-plated stormtrooper armor for “Star Wars: Episode VIII.”
“I will be in the next ‘Star Wars’ movie,” the actress told People.
Christie, best known for her role as Brienne of Tarth on the HBO series “Game of Thrones,” played Captain Phasma in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Her character is a stormtrooper unit commander who clashes with John Boyega‘s Finn.
The actress also talked about how she was cast in “The Force Awakens.”
“I was very overexcited. I made no secret of the fact that I really campaigned for the part for a long time,” she said.
