After months of speculation - the cast for the latest installment of Star Wars has been confirmed.

Original stars - Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill - will all return for Episode Seven.

They will be joined by Andy Serkis of Lord Of The Rings, Adam Driver from hit TV series Girls and Oscar Isaac who starred in the Coen brothers' film Inside Llewyn Davis.

Probably on a lesser known scale but all original cast members are Peter Mayhew who will be back playing Chewbacca, Kenny Baker will reignite his role as R2-D2 and Anthony Daniels will return as C-3PO. 

Our own Domhnall Gleeson has also been named in the cast lineup. Gleeson's film credits include Harry Potter, True Grit and his most recent film roles appearing in Frank and Calvary.

Director J.J. Abrams says, "We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."

Filming is due to begin at Pinewood Studios near London next month and the final film is due out in December 2015.
