While chatting with USA Today, Ridley was asked if fans should expect any kind of update on the Rey-focused Star Wars film this year. The Rey movie was first announced during Star Wars Celebration 2023, where Disney and Lucasfilm revealed plans to bring Ridley back as Rey in a new chapter set after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Big franchise films take time, and Star Wars projects seem especially prone to long development cycles and shifting priorities. She recently starred in the horror thriller We Bury the Dead, a zombie film from director Zak Hilditch. As for her Star Wars movie, may the patience be with you.
