Is the Wolverine ready to journey into outer space? According to Contactmusic.com, A-list Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman, Samuel L Jackson and Robert Downey Jr are set for secret cameo appearances in the highly anticipated 7th installment of the STAR WARS saga.

The site reports that the three actors were recently invited to the set of the George Lucas-penned film at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire. According to UK's The Sun, a source revealed that 'Everyone is clamouring for a set visit and cameo. Sam, Robert and Hugh have all been invited, as well as Nick Frost. Some are hiding their faces just for fun but others have to for contractual reasons. If they're tied to other studios, they're technically not allowed to appear in a Disney film.'

While Downey Jr and Jackman would make their debut in the space-themed franchise, Jackson previously appeared in the prequel trilogy as jedi master Mace Windu from 1999 to 2005. The report comes on the heels of news that Daniel Craig has also signed on to play a mystery role in the sci-fi saga after "begging director JJ Abrams for the small part due to his love for the series."

What role do you think the actors should take on in the film?
