Is Daisy Ridley back as Rey for good? The actres speaks on her Star Wars contract as the script ramps up toward completion.
One of the hypest moments in recent Star Wars history was the announcement that Daisy Ridley would be returning as Rey for a brand new film. Many saw this as simply a start to the character’s redemption in the galaxy far, far, away. However, with so little official details released about the film, fans have begun to wonder how long Ridley will truly stick around.
Daisy Ridley recently spoke about her upcoming return to the Star Wars universe on the Smartless podcast. When asked about how long her contract is, she revealed that she had currently only signed on to return as Rey in a single film “for now.” It’s likely that the studio wants to wait and see how well this project does before committing to anything long term, especially given the controversial nature of the last trilogy.
The Story Of Daisy Ridley’s Star Wars Return
While there hasn’t been much in the way of official details released about the films, there’s been enough for Star Wars fans to dive into speculation. What is currently known is that Daisy Ridley will return as Rey in an untitled film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who had previously worked on projects like Ms. Marvel.
Kathleen Kennedy also teased a much darker film than many Star Wars fans might expect. She revealed that the movie will see the Jedi in chaos after the fall of the First Order. The story will pick up with Daisy Ridley’s Rey 15 years after the most recent trilogy, attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order based on the texts imparted to her by Luke Skywalker.
