After much speculation, a new report has claimed that Andy Serkis is the narrator on the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer.
According to Hitflix writer Drew McWeeny, the Lord of the Rings actor lends his voice to the clip, which premiered in US and Canadian cities and online last Friday. Previously, Adam Driver, Benedict Cumberbatch and Max von Sydow had been linked to the narrator role.
McWeeny wrote: "For the record, that is Andy Serkis you hear in the trailer. I was able to verify this, although I was not able to uncover any further information about the role he plays.
"Here's what I do know, though. He's playing a pivotal role in the film, although he will not have a lot of screen time."
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be released on December 18, 2015.
