Official Details on Andy Serkis’ STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Character

Since Andy Serkis joined the cast of J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, fans have been wondering if he’d appear as a normal-looking human character or if he’d be portraying a performance-capture character instead. Now thanks to StarWars.com, which reveals that Serkis will be playing a performance-capture character named Supreme Leader Snoke.

The image and new information is found in an interview with photographer Annie Leibovitz, but no further information is given, leaving us to speculate wildly about who Supreme Leader Snoke is, what exactly he’s leading, and why.
