Daisy Ridley Teases New Characters in her Upcoming Rey Skywalker Movie, Just Probably Not Children
While The Mandalorian & Grogu will be the next Star Wars film to hit theaters, a new Rey Skywalker film starring Daisy Ridley should not be far behind it.
The film was originally announced at Star Wars Celebration 2023, where Ridley was given a hero’s welcome.
Although the exact plot of the film has yet to be revealed, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has said that the film will see Rey fulfilling her promise to Luke Skywalker and rebuilding the Jedi Order.
New Characters are Coming
For her part, Ridley says that she has yet to read the full script for the film. Still, the actress revealed that new characters would be introduced.
“I know bits and bobs. I know there’s an introduction of new characters,” Ridley told Deadline. “But I don’t know about previous characters.”
While Ridley’s answer doesn’t exactly rule out a return of Finn or Poe, it also opens the door for new people in Rey’s life.
No Kids For Rey
Although Ridley is keeping things close to the vest, she did rule out that more Skywalker children could be on the way.
“I would say she probably doesn’t have children, seeing she’s a Jedi,” she added.
When discussing her return to Star Wars, one thing is clear: Ridley is clearly excited about the project.
“I think it’s a really fantastic exploration of the Star Wars world. It’s a really cool way of taking the story on in a bit of a different direction,” she said earlier this year.
Although production on the Rey Skywalker film has yet to begin, Ridley has previously stated that the filming could begin as soon as later this year.
Hopefully, then, fans do not have to wait too long to see the legendary Jedi on screen again.
