Hamill in training for Episode VII

Although unconfirmed by either Disney or Mark Hamill himself, a source close to the actor has revealed that he is in training ready to appear in the latest installment of the Star Wars saga.

Robert Englund, best known for his portrayal of Freddie Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, told reporters that his friend, Hamill, was in the gym preparing to return to Star Wars.

Film bosses had allegedly told Hamill, along with Carrie Fisher, to tone up for a return as twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Both Hamill and Fisher previously played the brother and sister in the 1977 original, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, along with the two sequels of the classic trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
