Landing Star Wars role was easy
John Boyega has revealed that his path to landing the role of Finn in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens was not very complicated. He told People Magazine: "J J Abrams just emailed me and said, 'Can you travel down to Mayfair [in London] to meet me?' So I got in a taxi, probably paid about £150 [Dh800], he sat me down and told me a few things and then said, 'You're the new star of Star Wars,' and literally everything just froze. Everything was just perfect in that one moment and then I was released into a world of training and now I'm here, in Star Wars, and it's weird." – The National staff

Murray stars in the festival's opening film, Rock the Kasbah, as a music promoter in war-torn Kabul, who discovers a talented teenager who dreams of becoming the first woman to compete in Afghanistan's version of American Idol. – AFP, The National staff
Marvel boss hints of Spidey role in Civil War
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige appears to have offered the closest we have had to a confirmation that Spider-Man will appear in Captain America: Civil War. It follows ongoing rumours in the aftermath of the agreement by Sony Pictures, who own the movie rights to the character, that allows Spidey to appear alongside The Avengers in Marvel's own cinematic universe. After Entertainment Weekly reported spotting a man dressed like Spidey during a recent set visit to the Civil War set, Feige responded: "Listen, if there was a cosplayer running round that set when you were there, I don't know what to tell you." We've had some experience of closed movie sets, and generally cosplayers don't get on-site. – The National staff
