Serkis will be playing a character named Supreme Leader Snoke in Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens.
[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]he official Star Wars website has revealed the name of the character who Andy Serkis will be playing in The Force Awakens. Serkis can be seen in motion capture gear for his character Supreme Leader Snoke below.
It has not been revealed whether the Supreme Leader will be siding with the Resistance or the First Order, but many past characters with menacing sounding titles were a member of the former Empire. So it can be assumed that Serkis will be playing one of the movies antagonists.
Serkis has confirmed that he did the voice over for the first teaser trailer of The Force Awakens and it is now known that Supreme Leader Snoke was the one narrating. Snoke said “There has been an awakening … Have you felt it? The dark side. And the light…” Since Snoke was narrating the first trailer, he will probably play an integral part in the movie and the rest of the trilogy but we can not be sure until more news is released.
Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker and will hit theaters on December 18th.
