As everybody believes that Supreme Leader Snoke is a Sith, the actor playing the role, Andy Serkis, revealed that the villain is definitely not. In a recent interview, the 53-year-old actor, famous for his motion-picture acting, shuts down the theories surrounding "Star Wars: The Last Jedi's" mysterious leader of the First Order.

"There's definitely something psychotic about Snoke," Serkis told Empire. He even described the Force-sensitive humanoid alien as a "perfect, self-daring, narcissistic leader."

The "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" star added that Snoke will use every resource the force has just to do and get what he wants. As "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" fans are comparing him to the original villain, Sheev Palpatine, Serkis revealed that he is "way darker" than Darth Sidious.

As many viewers are looking forward to seeing Snoke's backstory, Rian Johnson earlier revealed that it would not be seen in the upcoming "Episode 8." However, Serkis teased that something about the supreme leader is going to be unfolded in the movie franchise's new installment.

"He's definitely not a Sith, but he's certainly at the darker end of the Force," he continued to say. From here, Serkis hinted that it will open a door for the antagonist's real identity.

Snoke was first seen as a gigantic hologram image in 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." He is known as Kylo Ren's (Adam Driver) master. Aside from that, no one really knows who he is. However, major details about his character are said to be unveiled in "Star Wars: Episode 9."

Meanwhile, Empire magazine also gives an exclusive closer look at Snoke's real image on its Twitter page. "Exclusive new image of Supreme Leader Snoke," it captioned the snap. 

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is set to hit theaters on Friday, Dec. 15, in the U.S.
