After he failed to get “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” details from his “Murder On The Orient Express” co-star Daisy Ridley, Josh Gad has moved on to another of the galaxy’s leading ladies to try to get some “Episode IIX” spoilers.
Gad tried to pry info out of his “Little Monsters” co-star Lupita Nyong’o to no avail. Like Ridley, the Oscar-winning actress who reprises her “The Force Awakens” motion-picture role as Maz Kanata in “The Last Jedi”, was tight-lipped despite Gad’s pleading.
Looking battle-worn and bloody behind-the-scenes of their new movie, a green-suited Gad praises Nyong’o’s “much more generous spirit” as he tries to pump her for information.

“No, I’m not giving you any spoilers,” a stone-faced Nyong’o replies. “The thing opens in a week. You can wait.”
Gad jokes he knows all too well about “spoilers,” referencing online backlash surrounding his lengthy 22-minute “Frozen” short, “Olaf’s Frozen Aventure”, which played before screenings of Pixar’s “Coco”.
“I just did a 22-minute ‘Frozen’ short that apparently spoiled ‘Coco’ for some men and women in their mid-to-late 40s with blogs,” he says, taking a jab at the short film’s critics.
When his pleas fall on deaf ears, Gad pulls out all the stops, including involving their young co-star to get Nyong’o’s help on a “book report.”
“You’re shameless,” Nyong’o laughs in response as the tiny cast member asks pressing questions about Luke and Leia.
Gad has been pestering the “Star Wars” actresses with questions, even enlisting some other famous faces to help him on his quest, including Judi Dench and Chris Pratt.
Once again, social media applauded Gad’s valiant efforts to drill his cast members for “Star Wars” details.
