According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Mayhew will return to the next set of Star Wars sequels as Chewbacca. At this time, this announcement is unofficial and still a rumor. The article from The Hollywood Reporter believes this to be a done deal. But Star Wars and Disney are both being hushed about this rumor. Mayhew has not confirmed this rumor either.
Mayhew did cancel his appearance at Comicpalooza because of “filming”. He is most known for his role as Han’s wing Wookiee, Chewy. Disney has stated that filming of the sequels has begun. This appears to add up to Mayhew’s return this his famous role. Yet at this moment, this is still just a rumor.
