Daisy Ridley gives an update on the upcoming Rey solo movie, confirming that she will be reprising her role as Rey and working with Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy as director. While the script is still being finalized, Ridley expressed excitement about the project and George Lucas' involvement. She also revealed that while the Rey movie isn't her next production, she is working on another exciting project.
and so she’s once again having to provide an update on the Rey movie.and brings back Ridley as Rey, who’ll work to create a new Jedi order. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is directing and while several writers,, Ridley had nothing but praise for Nofli, though she hasn’t read his work yet. “I have not read the latest script, but I know what’s happening, and I know the story, and I think what feels really good is that George is a phenomenal writer,” she said.
That sounds good! The story is good, the writer is good, they’re taking their time, and that’s the deal. She added another wrinkle talking to, revealing she’s got another movie coming up so the Rey movie isn’t the next thing she’s working on. “I don’t think it’ll be the next thing I go to production on because I’m supposed to be doing—oh no, it’s not, because I’m doing something next month, very excitingly,” Ridley said.
“I don’t know that I’d be a producer on it, but I certainly have been very involved,” Ridley said. “I’m involved in, well, not very involved, but I’m involved in as much as I know what’s going on, I know the story, I know what’s going on with the script, so I’m aware of all that. And I think what’s been really wonderful over the last few years is being more involved from the start to finish, really coming to set knowing this is the absolute best way we can tell this story.
And, really, all jokes aside, that’s all we want. The best possible movie. And if the movie isn’t going to be great, then don’t make it. Don’t further tarnish anylegacies. It certainly sounds like Ridley is aware of all that and trying her hardest to be— yes—excited about the possibilities.in summer 2026. We don’t know what’s next after that, though it could be this movie, it could be Shawn Levy’s movie, or something else. Unclear, the future is.
