Harrison Ford refuses to acknowledge if he will return for Star Wars: Episode VII.

Rumours have swirled for months the actor might reprise his role as Han Solo in the forthcoming sci-fi sequel directed by J.J. Abrams.

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are also expected to appear despite a new cast beginning the fresh trilogy.

Harrison was pressed about the issue while speaking with Access Hollywood at Comic-Con 2013 in San Diego.

The actor would neither confirm nor deny his appearance during a tense encounter with reporter Scott Mantz.

How does it feel after 30 years after you wanted Han Solo to die in Return of the Jedi to be playing him again? Mantz asked.

Um, uh, uh, hmm Harrison stumbles.

Say it! the journalist demands.

No I mean, I wont say it, Harrison resolves.

The 71-year-old star was at the annual convention to promote his new movie, Enders Game.

He was slightly more forthcoming about the experience hes having his second time out at the event.

Im glad to be here with a movie that I think is a really good, good movie, he said of Enders.

The sci-fi film, written and directed by Gavin Hood, tells the story of a group preparing for an alien invasion.

Abigail Breslin and Hailee Steinfeld co-star.

It was a fun experience for me to be involved in it. I like the work that other people did and Im pleased to be here, Harrison said.
