The actor has been teasing a role in the sequel pretty much since The Last Jedi hit theaters, but he admits that he's purposefully trying to get the rumor mill up and running.

In addition to trying to get the rumor mill going about Snoke's return in Star Wars 9 , Andy Serkis revealed that he has emailed J.J. Abrams to check on the cast and to see how the production is coming along.

Serkis didn't offer any details, but it's clear that he would like to return to the trilogy , and Star Wars fans are hoping that Abrams brings him back as well, even if it's through a flashback to get more insight into Snoke and his origins.

There have been some pretty strong rumors that the Knights of Ren will be returning for Star Wars 9 , and if they do, J.J. Abrams is going to have to address the death of Snoke at some point.

Kylo Ren's rise to power was made when he cut the Supreme Leader in half, which has changed him even further and sent him on an even darker path.

Andy Serkis was recently in the news for something other than Star Wars 9 when he dressed as Theresa May and brought back his Gollum voice from The Lord of the Rings .
