It looks like Star Wars: Episode VII may have found itself another actor in the film- at least it appears that way.

Is Mark Ruffalo Going To Be In 'Episode VII?'

Rumor currently has it that Greg Grunberg, who's most famously known for his role as the mind-reading Matt on Heroes, might have landed himself a part in the new film directed by J.J. Abrams. The actor posted the news on Twitter.

"Yes @smgulz it IS safe to assume I have a role in #StarWarsEpisodeVII - If I say more than that, JJ will have me killed," he wrote.

While this seems to imply that he will be in the movie, it turns out that this tweet was posted two weeks ago on September 11 and for some reason, it's barely made the news. The Episode VII IMDB page doesn't even have Grunberg's name listed yet, causing some suspicion if he announced the news two weeks ago even though it hasn't been made official from other sites yet.

It looks like time will tell from here if the actor's name will be official or not. Other cast members in the film include Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Daisy Ridley, Crystal Clarke, Lupita Nyong'o and several more. Familiar faces will also be back including Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher who will reprise their roles as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Star Wars: Episode VII is expected to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
