The Star Wars Episode VII casting rumours just keep running and running, despite the fact the movie has already started shooting. The latest (ridiculous) report suggests model turned actress Cara Delevingne is looking for a role.
Cara is beginning to carve out an acting career after becoming queen of the catwalk in the past couple of years. Last week she starred in Sky Arts drama Timeless while she'll also be seen in big screen Brit flick Kids in Love later this year.
According to a report in the Daily Star though, Cara has already set her sights on starrier roles.
The star has reportedly asked her pal and Episode VII confirmed cast member Domhnall Gleeson to put in a good word for her with the new movie's director JJ Abrams.

''Cara is a huge fan of Star Wars. She became very envious when she heard the unknown actress Daisy Ridley had managed to land a role," a source has told the paper. ''But there are still plenty of parts yet to be cast, as Domhnall has assured her, and she's desperate for one - no matter how small.''
While we're not sure if Cara is ready for Star Wars, the star has previously admitted that she's going to give her new career her all, after putting modelling on the back burner:
''Acting is all I've ever wanted to do, so I'm living the dream. I prefer acting to modelling. Modelling is where I started and I could never turn my back on it because without it I wouldn't be here, but this is what I love. This is it for me.''
It certainly sounds like Cara is getting fed up with the fashion industry, with the star posting an epic Twitter rant this week aimed at Vogue for "lying" about a recent interview.
