Adam Driver confirms he’s done with Star Wars, which would make The Rise of Skywalker his final appearance as Kylo Ren.
After playing Kylo Ren in the force awakens, The Last JediAnd The Rise of SkywalkerAdam Driver has confirmed that he is done with the Star Wars franchise.
“They do stuff, but not with me. I do not do it anymore,“Adam Driver said on the Without intelligence podcast. When asked if it was because Kylo Ren’s story had ended, the actor replied: “Yeah.“
It’s not entirely surprising to hear that Driver is leaving Star Wars behind, but you never know what the future holds. Daisy Ridley is about to return for a new Star Wars movie which takes place 15 years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. “The First Order has fallen, the Jedi are in chaos – one wonders how many of them still exist – and Rey is building the New Jedi Order, based on the text she was given and that Luke told her. transmitted,“, said Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. The new film will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy from a screenplay by Steven Knight.
If Adam Driver ever returns to Star Warsit would likely be in the form of a Force Ghost, which wouldn’t have been possible if the Sequel Trilogy had stuck to the original plan of not redeem his character. “I had in mind an overall arc that (JJ Abrams) wanted to do,” the driver said. “His idea was that (Kylo’s) journey was Vader’s opposite journey, where Vader begins most confident and most committed to the dark side. And then in the last film, he is the most vulnerable and the weakest. He wanted to start with the opposite. This character was the most confused and vulnerable, and by the end of all three films, he would be the most committed to the dark side. I tried to keep that arc in mind, even though it wasn’t the journey anyway, because it changed during filming. But I was still focused on that.“
Adam Driver can currently be seen in the Michael Mann film Ferrari. You can check out a review from our own Chris Bumbray here.
