When asked about the rumors, which were sparked by the fact that (I kid you not) Sheamus had worked in costume as Darth Vader years ago at a local Star Wars promotional event, the former WWE champion commented, "That was crazy," he said. "Basically I went home to Ireland and the crew were filming quite close to me at the time, then all these mad rumours started flying around. I definitely haven't received a contract, a helmet or a lightsaber yet, but who knows? It might come through the door. I hope it does."
The Rock has also publicly pushed the idea of wanting to do a role in an upcoming "Star Wars" film. Since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, they have ramped up production on production for the "Star Wars" brand, with plans to release a new film every year staring in late 2015 as well as a new animated series that will debut on DisneyXD this month.
