“I will be in the next Star Wars movie. I think that’s an exclusive, actually,” the actress told People Magazine.
From the earliest fans were disappointed there wasn’t more of her seen in the first film. So let us all enjoy a happy dance to know she’ll be back.
One reason for the popularity of Captain Phasma could lie in the fact of seeing a female Stormtrooper. Not only that, but a female Stormtrooper with a high ranking role and an important part in the film. This was something new. People liked it. Christie explains it well.
“I also just liked this notion of a female stormtrooper,” she told People. “I felt it encouraged diversity and it was doing something new and it was an interesting bit of casting for women, and I hope that in something that was such a mainstream success it would breed more of those kind of opportunities for other women.”
So there we have it, friends. Are you excited to see Captain Phasma return to the big screen?
