Christian Bale has recently revealed he wanted to play one popular character from Star Wars franchise that would eventually please the ‘child’ in him.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Bale, who has already worked with Marvel and DC Films, said that he could join the Star Wars franchise only if he would be given the job of “unidentified stormtrooper who banged his head on the door frame in the background of A New Hope.
“All I ever wanted in Star Wars was to be in a Star Wars outfit and hit my head on a door or something as I walked through,” said the Dark Knight trilogy star.
The Oscar winner went on to explain, “The real nerds who watched Star Wars way too many times always knew about that one scene where the Stormtrooper hits his head on the door as he comes through. I wanted to be that guy. That was it.”
“But look, if I’m fortunate enough to be more than that, oh man, yeah. What a delight that would be,” Bale remarked.
The actor shared that he knew Kathy Kennedy “very well because of her work with Spielberg when I did Empire of the Sun, and now, she runs the Star Wars universe,”
