It seems that we are not done with Rey’s family as Daisy Ridley has said that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will further explore her character’s family.
One of the big criticisms of Star Wars: The Last Jedi was Rey’s parentage. During the climax of Rian Johnson’s Star Wars film, it was revealed that Daisy Ridley’s character was the daughter to a pair of junk dealers who sold her for drinking money. During a recent interview with USA Today, Daisy Ridley revealed that there might be more to her family that will be answered in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker:
“(Director J.J. Abrams) did say the question is answered. So at the end of the film, you do know what the dealio is.”

Here is the official synopsis for The Lion King:
Director Jon Favreau’s all-new “The Lion King” journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
Directed by Jon Favreau from a script written by Jeff Nathanson, The Lion Kingstars Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.
The Lion King will be released in theaters on July 19, 2019.
