From the Article

Professional wrestler Sheamus, has found some clever ways to give his fans hints about his upcoming role as Darth Vader without breaching his contract and getting fired by director J.J. Abrams.

It all started on July 30th, when the 36-year-old athlete posted a picture of Darth Vader toys including the iconic lightsaber, he received as a present from Mattel.

Minutes after sharing the photo of the toy, the Assault of Darkness actor uploaded another photo of Vader with his lightsaber.

On the snapshot King Sheamus wrote his signature word “fellllllaaaa.”

If those were not enough clues that he had indeed landed a role in the forthcoming installment of the Star Wars saga entitled Star Wars 7, Mr Sheamus O’Shaunessy went out of his way to deny, well confirm the news.

Sheamus whose real name is Stephen Farrelly, tweeted an article from an Irish paper to speak about his new movie and gave the funny answer below:

“I cant confirm that i wont not be reprising role of Darth Vader in #StarWars … I hope that’s clear @IrishMirror ;)”

If that money quote above does not say that Farrelly is the new Vader; well, we don’t know what will.

The cast of Star Wars 7 composed of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford were spotted on Skellig Michael island just miles from Ireland filming scenes for the highly anticipated movie and guess who was also seen there?

You guessed it right, several crew members took to Twitter to reveal that Sheamus was seen hanging around with the other stars.

Wrestling lovers will have to keep enjoying Sheamus in the ring for the next year, because Star Wars 7 will only arrive in theaters on December 18th, 2015.

Yes, this is a very long wait to see Sheamus in his Vader costume.
 
This news is weeks old, weird it started trending now all of a sudden tbh.

Spoiler alert though: Vader died at the end of Episode 6.

Well, Batista was in Guardians Of The Galaxy, so you never know, WWE might be trying to push their wrestlers into acting roles!

I'd love to see Vader try to drink Guinness only to get it all over himself.
 
Well he's Vader's height so ok.


But again why is Vader in this.


Actually what am I thinking. JJ wouldn't pull some stupid shit like that.
 
Could be for flashback scenes.

I don't watch wrestling but I've loved the Rock and Batista in their roles. They're great.
 
It's nuts how a professional athlete who's career has nothing to do with acting or drama can land a role like that in Hollywood.
 
Whut...

He's dead.

Flashback scene or something, maybe? Either that or that whole schtick about jedi hunters resurrecting sith is real and they resurrect and extremely young Vader... younger than Luke... which is just... I don't know, weird.
 
Aren't there other Star Wars movies besides VII - IX in the pipeline? Maybe there will be a side story featuring Vader and this guy will play his body. I'd love a movie like that, actually. There have certainly been enough successful novels and comics in that vein already.

Yeah, at least two or three spin-offs have been planned or suggested.
