A behind-the-scenes look at the new Star Wars film The Rise of Skywalker shows Ed Sheeran in costume as a stormtrooper, seemingly confirming a reported cameo.
It was claimed last December that the British singer had filmed a secret cameo at Pinewood Studios alongside cast members John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac.
Also seen in the footage is Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda – most recently seen in BBC show His Dark Materials – as a Resistance fighter, posing alongside new cast addition Naomi Ackie.
Intriguingly, Disney is stating that neither Sheeran nor Miranda are confirmed to appear in the new JJ Abrams film.
This would not be the first beloved series that Sheeran has cameoed in – the singer made a brief appearance in Game of Thrones back in 2017.
Daniel Craig played a stormtrooper in Star Wars film The Force Awakens back in 2015. Other stars who have made brief appearances in the franchise include Simon Pegg, Justin Theroux and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
The Rise of Skywalker will be released on 18 December.
