After the world got the first glimpse of the highly controversial trailer of "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens," talks about the release of more teasers for the latest installment of the iconic "Star Wars" franchise are making the rounds online. 

Slashfilm reported that there will be another trailer coming for "Star Wars Episode VII," and it will be released when "Avengers: Age of Ultron" comes in Spring 2015. 

Although this is still an unconfirmed report, the website claimed that unveiling a new trailer for the J.J. Abrams film is not impossible since the upcoming Marvel film will arrive eight months prior to the release of the new "Star Wars" movie. However, there are also rumors that Disney Films might release a new trailer during the Super Bowl season in 2015. 

The first "Episode VII" trailer was unveiled last Friday, and it received a lot of ire from netizens worldwide. Some people from social media were complaining about actor John Boyega's role as a stormtrooper in the upcoming film. It will be the first time that a black actor will portray an iconic role in the franchise ever since the first "Star Wars" film was released by George Lucas back in 1977. 

Some fans of the "Star Wars" franchise were not happy with the black stormtrooper character, and they posted their grievances in the comments section of the trailer's YouTube page. There are even several racist remarks about the new character in the film. 

Boyega aired his sentiments over the harsh criticisms that his character received in YouTube through a very straightforward Instagram post. The actor said: 

Thank you for all the love and support! The fan mail and fan art has added to my joy! Isn't it crazy that Star Wars is actually happening? I'm in the movie but as a star wars fan I am very excited! A year is a long time but it will be worth the wait.

To whom it may concern...

Get used to it. :)"

"Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" will be shown in December 2015.
