Summary

• Mark Hamill hinted at a new movie project beginning filming, but provided no details.
• It is unclear if the project is live-action or an animated film.
• Hamill's recent voice acting roles suggest he may be working on an animated feature.

Mark Hamill shares a mysterious message about a new movie that he has begun filming. Hamill is a beloved actor, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars series. Throughout his later career, Hamill has remained active as both a voice actor and a screen actor, with recent parts including roles in Invincible, Masters of the Universe: Revolution, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Boy and the Heron.

As per a post on Hamill’s social media, the actor posted a cryptic message surrounding an project of his. In a simple post, Hamill wrote “This tweet will gain in significance when the movie I start today is publicly announced.” Hamill did not accompany this post with a picture or any other text.

Hamill did nothing to explain what the film is, but only that it is a new movie project. He also did not say when the film would be announced to the public, though the tease suggests that date may be sooner rather than later. As such, the only concrete update offered by this post is that Hamill will be in a movie and that it just started filming.

What Could Mark Hamill’s Mystery Project Be?

For a septuagenarian actor, Hamill is an incredibly in-demand talent. In 2015, Hamill returned to Star Wars to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker for Stars Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens. He has gone on to appear in other Star Wars content, including the next two feature films, and episodes of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. In recent years, Hamill has also appeared on a number of television shows, including an episode of What We Do in the Shadows, The Sandman, and Creepshow.

While Hamill’s post specified that he is in a movie rather than television series, he did not say whether it would be a live-action or animated film. After all, Hamill only said that he “start[s] today” and not even that he was filming, leaving the option open for “starting” to mean venturing into the sound booth. Given his two most recent credits include Invincible and Masters of the Universe: Revolution, Hamill’s next film could very well be an animated voice acting role in a feature film.

Invincible is currently available to watch on Prime Video.

A further point in the direction of an animated film is the fact that Hamill’s already-announced next roles include voice acting parts. This includes roles in The Wild Robot, LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three. This career trend suggests that Hamill may be taking on voice acting again for whatever mystery project he has just begun.
