The new Star Wars film will start shooting in May.
The upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII will start shooting in London in May, set 30 years after the events of 1983's Return of the Jedi, Disney have revealed.
Disney purchased the Star Wars production company, LucasFilms, in 2012, and announced it would release three new films in the franchise.
Episode
VII, which will be directed by Star Trek's J.J. Abrams, is scheduled to hit cinemas on December 18, 2015.
"There will be some very familiar faces along with a trio of new young leads," Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger said during Disney's annual shareholder's meeting.
However that is all he would say about the film. Theories have been flying over who will star in the latest installment, but any decisions remain shrouded in secrecy.
