It turns out that
Rian Johnson will seemingly follow in Abrams’ footsteps, as a new report claims that Tom Hardy will be one of the celebrities who will get a Stormtrooper part. According to Making Star Wars, Tom Hardy will appear in a small sequence in the movie and he will have a bunch of lines.
Hardy will play a First Order Stormtrooper who knows Finn. Hardy spots him while Finn is on a secret mission and assumes that Finn is a spy for the First Order. As a result, Hardy appears to be pleased to see his buddy, unaware of the fact that FN-2187 has actually deserted.
The scene promises to be a funny one. The Stormtrooper supposedly walks up behind him and slaps him on the butt. Finn turns around thinking he’s surely dead, but finds a former brother in arms who’s not only happy to see him but even praises him for his promotion to Resistance infiltrator and spy. Finn then walks away scot-free.
