Rey is (almost) back. At Star Wars Celebration 2023, it was announced that Daisy Ridley would be reprising her role as the Jedi in a brand new film set after The Rise of Skywalker.
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is set to direct, and the movie will see Rey trying to restart a new Jedi Order. At the moment, though, further details are very much under wraps.
We sat down with Ridley to talk all about her new film Young Woman and the Sea, which sees her play Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel. Of course, we had to ask her about her long-awaited Star Wars comeback, too, and what sort of approach Rey might be taking to rebuilding the Jedi Order – though, naturally, Ridley couldn't say too much at this early stage.
"It's exciting, because there are lots of discoveries to be had, and that is going to continue to be a creative conversation. And I'm very excited to see," she tells us. Very mysterious…
Young Woman and the Sea, meanwhile, is released in select UK cinemas this May 31. You can keep up to date with all of the year's releases with our guide to 2024's biggest movie release dates.
