Zac Efron in talks for `Star Wars`

Los Angeles: `High School Musical` star Zac Efron is in talks to appear in JJ Abrams` `Star Wars: Episode VII`.

The 26-year-old actor has met with movie bosses about a role in the new episode of the sci-fi franchise, which has recently been acquired by Disney, reported MTV online. "Yeah, I just went and met with them. So I don`t know. It would be cool. I love the `Star Wars` movies, but... Who knows?" Efron said. `Star Wars: Episode VII` will be directed by JJ Abrams and actors linked to roles include Michael Fassbender, Michael B Jordan, Saoirse Ronan, Jesse Plemons, Adam Driver and Hugo Weaving. It has also been rumoured many of the actors from the original trilogy - shot in the 70s and 80s - such as Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker could reprise their roles. Carrie Fisher, 57, also recently told how she`d like to play her character, Princess Leia, again, saying, "I`d like to wear my old cinnamon buns hairstyle again - but with white hair. I think that would be funny." JJ has yet to announce any firm cast decisions, but recently said the film`s script is complete. `Star Wars: Episode VII` is tentatively scheduled for release in December 2015.
