Adam Driver’s been actually striking the sidewalk doing his finest to advertise Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” a movie he is plainly really pleased with (and as a smaller sized Neon independent movie, most likely demands all journalism it can obtain, as it just appeared on Xmas Day; pay attention to our podcast meeting with Mann right here).
And you’ll likely intend to submit this under, “duh, no sh*t,” yet hear us out initially. In a brand-new meeting with the Smartless podcast, organized by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, Driver was inquired about the brand-new future “Star Wars” movies, among which will certainly star Sissy Ridley’s Rey Skywalker personality fifteen years after the occasions of “Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker.”
Sure, Driver’s personality is dead, compromised himself at the end of ‘Rise Of Skywalker’ so Rey can live. Nevertheless, he can still show up as a Pressure Ghost, which undoubtedly numerous stars have in the past, Alec Guinness, Mark Hamill, and also Harrison Ford (though practically he had not been a Pressure Ghost in itself). So, say goodbye to Kylo Ren or Ben Solo as Pressure Ghost?
Driver recognized that several of the actors will certainly be back, yet not him. “They’re doing stuff, but not with me. I’m not doing any more [films],” he claimed merely of future “Star Wars” movies. The star was after that struck with a follow-up, “You’re done because the character’s done?” which Driver verified was proper.
In one more current meeting, Driver recommended he was dissatisfied with the means his Kylo Ren personality’s prepared arc was transformed throughout the brand-new “Star Wars” trilogy, and one needs to question if that’s the factor he’s shut the phase on those movies.
What’s that following “Star Wars” movie concerning? Well, by all accounts, it is the “Star Wars” movie that is firing next off, and it might also be at some time in very early 2024 if reports are proper. Unofficially entitled “Star Wars: New Jedi Order” and anticipated to show up in 2026, its initial story was envisaged by Damon Lindelof (“Watchmen,” “Prometheus” and “Lost”), yet he split methods with Lucasfilm over innovative distinctions someplace at the same time (and really did not appear really pleased concerning it). The movie will certainly be routed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (a documentarian that routed episodes of Disney+’s “Ms. Marvel” collection and is being created by Steven Knight, the author of “Eastern Promises,” “Spencer” and the creator/writer/showrunner of “Peaky Blinders.” Very little is found out about it aside from it’s intended to be a movie including, yet not always starring, Sissy Ridley as Rey educating a brand-new generation of Jedi when a brand-new danger occurs in the galaxy.
“I’m very excited. The story is really cool. I’m waiting to read a script because, obviously, I don’t have any other updates,” Ridley just recently claimed. “It’s not what I expected, but I’m very excited.”
Lucasfilm presently has 3 “Star Wars” movies on the schedule: a TBD of Might 22, 2026 (which would most likely be the ‘Jedi Order’ motion picture), one more TBD of December 18, 2026, and a last enigma movie of December 17, 2027. Though, as we understand, it’s not such as Lucasfilm hasn’t blown previous future days in the past and missed out on the movie completely (see “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron,” which was when set up for December 22, 2023.
Allow’s hope we discover more information in 2024, however, for currently, we can go across Adam Driver off our listing of prospective looks.
