The man who would be Nightwing may be headed to space.

Adam Driver (Girls), who was rumored to be up for the role of Dick Grayson in Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman, may have just landed a bigger role. Reports are that he close to a deal that will make him the main antagonist in Star Wars: Episode VII.

With the news on characters and plot being under strict lock and key, there can be only speculation as to who he will play. The easy money is on a Sith Lord with rumors saying the role will be in the vein of Darth Vader.

Let’s hope they don’t build him up as a big bad to have him cut in half in the first movie.

We should hear more definitive casting very soon. Episode VII is to begin filming in April.
