Gwendoline Christie is confirmed to be Captain Phasma in Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

Some big news has been revealed for Star Wars: The Force Awakens today as fans finally found out who actress Gwendoline Christie will be playing in the film!

May fans out there had been speculating it but it is now confirmed that Christie is the "Chrome Trooper" we have seen in the film's trailers. Vanity Fair broke the news along with a new photo (seen below). Christie's character is named Captain Phasma and is an officer in The First Order. The First Order will be the new regime taking over for the Galactic Empire.

I've heard rumors that Captain Phasma may have been tasked for hunting down John Boyega's character Finn who apparently deserts the Stormtrooper ranks. I'm very interested to learn more about this character. I'd imagine that her back story would be very interesting. Are you excited to see more of Captain Phasma?

May the 4th be with you!
