Is Christian Bale in Star Wars? After DC and MCU, the actor wants to explore the galaxy far, far away

Christian Bale, a famous Hollywood actor, has expressed a strong desire to appear in a cameo role in one of the upcoming “Star Wars” movies. According to aceshowbiz.com, the 48-year-old actor, who has been dying to appear in the franchise for a number of years, would be content to simply play a masked stormtrooper with no lines. As a result, he would describe himself as extremely “lucky” if offered a role in the film world that was “more than that.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he explained, “All I ever wanted to do in ‘Star Wars’ was be in a ‘Star Wars’ uniform and bang my head on a door or something as I walked through .”

“Only real nerds who have watched “Star Wars” absurdly many times would know the scene in which the Stormtrooper bangs his head on the door as he enters. I aspired to be that person. That was the end of the exercise. But look, if I’m lucky enough to be more than that, then man, oh man, absolutely. That sounds like such a treat. I still have the characters I played with as a kid.”

The actor who plays him in ‘Amsterdam’ is confident he has the connections to one day land his ideal role. He also said, “I also know Kathy Kennedy very well because she worked with Spielberg when I made Empire of the Sun, and now she controls the Star Wars world.”

After collaborating on The Dark Knight trilogy and The Prestige, it’s been more than a decade since Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan have collaborated on a project. Bale explained that he would jump at the opportunity to work with the “extraordinary” director on another project should the opportunity arise.

He expressed his desire to work with Chris again by saying, “I’d love to do that.” He’s an incredible director and the time I worked with him was one of the highlights of my career. So likewise. I have the same feelings.”

A few more appearances followed before he made his breakthrough in the 1987 Steven Spielberg film Empire of the Sun.

The film was a smashing success at the box office and received several awards for its perfect portrayal of the character of Jim Graham.

Overnight fame and people’s rising expectations backfired as he found it difficult to adjust to newfound fame and star status. He soon calmed his nerves, however, and starred in Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V in 1989.

The following year he was cast as Jim Hawkins in the television adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic book Treasure Island. He played alongside Charlton Heston.

After the success of Batman Begins, he returned to appearing in independent films. From 2006 to 2008 he starred in a number of films including Harsh Times, The New World, Rescue Dawn, In The Prestige, I’m Not There and Terminator Salvation.

Batman Begins was followed by a 2008 sequel, The Dark Knight, which was an even bigger box office hit than its predecessor. The film grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, making it the fourth highest-grossing film of the period.

In 2010, he won 30 awards, including his first Golden Globe and Oscar for his role as Dicky Eklund in the David O. Russell-directed drama The Fighter.

In 2011, he played the role of John Miller in Zhang Yimou’s The Flowers of War. As a historical war drama, the film did an average job at the box office.
