Star Wars 9 cast: Jacob Tremblay makes early bid for a role on May the Fourth

Jacob Tremblay has made no secret of his passionate love for the Star Wars franchise, so it should come as little surprise that the 9-year-old is making an early bid for a role in the ninth movie.

The Canadian child actor, best known for Room with Brie Larson, tweeted a photo of himself and Shut In co-star Naomi Watts to Star Wars: Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow on May the 4th.

“For your consideration…” he wrote under the picture, calling Watts Obi-Wan Naomi and himself Jake Skywalker. Tremblay wished Trevorrow a Happy Star Wars Day as fans around the world were celebrating with the hashtag #Maythe4thBeWithYou.

The director, who enjoyed huge success with Jurassic World last year, replied with a simple “And also with you”, which was, frankly, rather disappointing. Surely there’s room for Hollywood’s greatest fan in the film?

Tremblay’s Star Wars addiction was met by a collective ‘aww’ from the world during this year’s Oscars. He wore Star Wars -themed socks with his suit and full-on got out of his seat for a proper look when C-3PO, r2-d2 and BB-8 made appearances on stage.

The actor keeps his Critics Choice Award next to the Millennium Falcon model in his bedroom and has an adorable puppy called Rey after Daisy Ridley’s lead character.

Trevorrow, you know what to do.
