Bel Powley

Although it was previously rumored that Beyond the Lights breakout star Gugu Mbatha-Raw was in talks to star in Star Wars: Episode 8, it appears as though those talks didn’t quite pan out as another breakout star is now being rumored for the same role: Bel Powley, star of last year’s indie hit The Diary of a Teenage Girl, is reportedly being eyed for the same leading role.
