"We're coming to Orlando for a @StarWars Celebration panel on April 14th, and I cannot wait. See you there!" wrote Johnson on his official Twitter account.
Johnson appeared alongside Kennedy and others at 2016's Star Wars Celebration Europe, where he shared "The Last Jedi" behind-the-scenes photo as well as discussed the making of the movie. According to StarWars.com, the upcoming "Star Wars" Celebration Orlando promises a few surprises and special guests.
Specific details are still kept under wraps, but showcase reel and footage from "The Last Jedi" are highly expected. In April 2015, "Star Wars" Celebration was held at Anaheim Convention Center, where a brand new trailer of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was unveiled.
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on December 15. Mark Hamill will reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in the movie and Carrie Fisher had finished filming her scenes as Princess/General Leia before she passed away last December.
Other returning cast members include Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong'o, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis. Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran are among the new cast members.
