Daisy Ridley to Return as Rey in New ‘Star Wars’ Film

Today, during Star Wars Celebration 2023 in London,  Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced a new Star Wars film which will see Daisy Ridley back as Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order.

Plot details for the new film are being kept under wraps however it will be set after the events of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker. The film is not a continuation of the Skywalker Saga but could feature characters who were introduced in the sequel trilogy.

Oscar-winner and Ms. Marvel director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is still attached to helm the project.  Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) is set to write the screenplay for the untitled Star Wars movie.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has been rumored to have been cast as one of the leads in the upcoming film, however, that has not been confirmed.
