It's Downton Abbey Vs Breaking Bad For Star Wars Episode VII: Actors From Hit Shows 'Battling It Out To Land Key Role'
The might both appear on the small screen but it appears that Downton Abbey star Ed Speleers and Breaking Bad's Jesse Plemons want to move to the big screen, following the reports that the actors have both gone up for the role of the apprentice Jedi in the new Star Wars film.
It is thought that JJ Abrams has yet to make his final decision over who he wants to cast for the role having met both Speleers and Plemons over the past year along with other actors who are also eying up the role, according to Variety.

The other actors who are also reportedly in talks to take on the role are Ray Fisher, Matthew James Thomas and John Boyega.
However, it appears that JJ Abrams will have to make up his mind soon as the film is reportedly set to begin filming at London's Pinewood studios later this year.
Whilst the role of the apprentice Jedi might still be under consideration, it has been reported that Girls actor Adam Driver will take on the role of the Star Wars VII villain.

Despite there being no official confirmation that Driver has landed the role, his Girls co-star Lena Dunham appeared to suggest on Twitter that the actor had already landed the role. She tweeted: "We're VERY proud of Adam Driver re: Star Wars. He's about to rip a hole in da force. Is that a thing? I guess I should see those movies?"
But Lena quickly declared that she was only speculating and that she didn't know anything. She added: "I confirm nothing bc I know nothing bc I'm on a plane with my dad! I just like Adam more than almost anyone, and JJ Abrams a whole lot too.(sic)"
