Christian Bale Would Love To Join ‘Star Wars’ One Day

Academy Award winner Christian Bale recently did an interview with The Hollywood Reporter during which, among other topics like his upcoming movie Amsterdam or the Dark Knight trilogy, he was asked about the Star Wars franchise. He said that he would love to, one day, be part of a Star Wars movie… even if it’s just as a stormtrooper.

 

Here are his exact words:

 

“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. 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. I’ve still got the figures from when I was little. I also know Kathy Kennedy very well because she was working with Spielberg when I did Empire of the Sun, and now, she runs the Star Wars universe.”

 

Over the past few years, with the exception of Thor: Love and Thunder, Christian Bale has been quite picky when it comes to the roles he chooses, and they have mostly been dramatic roles in potential Oscar contenders that required a big transformation, whether it was physical or emotional for him. He is one of the biggest actors in the world, both in terms of talent and box office draw, and it’s always interesting when some of these huge names express their desire to play in the Star Wars sandbox one day.

 

Ever since the interview came out, fan edits have already been created to show Bale’s ability with a lightsaber:

With Christian Bale going back to franchise roles earlier this year on Thor: Love and Thunder, and him already being a Star Wars fan, there’s hope that he will someday pop up in a galaxy far, far away.

However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
