Will Daniel Crag be a Stormtrooper?

Recently on StarWars7News.com, there was a rumor questioning whether or not Daniel Crag (who played British spy James Bond) will be a Stormtrooper in The Force Awakens.

The general thinking was this isn’t true, because it would overlap his schedule between his latest Bond movie and The Force Awakens. But a later statement from actor Simon Pegg (who is in the Star Wars movie) made it more complicated.

During a recent interview, Simon Pegg revealed that Daniel Craig will be a Stormtrooper in The Force Awakens, but later clarified that he was only speculating based on the rumors about Craig (source: http://www.starwars7news.com/2015/05/rumor-daniel-craig-to-cameo-as-a-stormtrooper-in-star-wars-the-force-awakens.html).

Craig was asked about this in an interview with EntertainmentWeekly:

The James Bond star made clear he finds the idea of making a cameo in the sci-if blockbuster preposterous. “Why would I ever bother doing something like that?” Craig tells EW. “F—ing hell! Pffft. Play an extra in another movie?”

Craig vigorously denies ever putting on the galactic empire’s notorious white helmet. “Talk to Simon Pegg. He obviously knows way more than I do,” says Craig. “He’s just jealous because he’s not in Star Wars. He’s got some issue with J.J. I don’t know what the f— it is. You need to talk to Simon about it.”

Interesting that Craig says he and Pegg aren’t in the movie . . . but we know Pegg is!
