Daisy Ridley’s character Rey Skywalker will reportedly seem in “a number of” upcoming Star Wars movies as she’s been deemed the galaxy far, far-off’s “most beneficial cinematic asset.”
Anonymous sources near Star Wars informed The Hollywood Reporter as a lot, suggesting Disney places extra inventory within the Sequel Trilogy star than, for instance, Pedro Pascal’s The Mandalorian or Original Trilogy protagonist Luke Skywalker, portrayed by Mark Hamill.
“She is probably the most precious cinematic asset, in some methods perhaps the one one, Star Wars has proper now,” the supply mentioned. Various sources mentioned Rey is about to play a task in a number of of the incoming Star Wars movies although did not make clear which of them.
Ridley is already confirmed to be returning in a single: the Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy-directed sequel to the universally panned Star Wars: Episode 9 – The Rise of Skywalker. It will inform the story of Rey as she seems to rebuild the Jedi Order roughly 15 years after the occasions of that movie.
But Rey wasn’t anticipated to seem in any of the opposite introduced movies till now, at the very least if this report is correct. Another trilogy of movies from X-Men producer Simon Kinberg emerged earlier in November, nonetheless, so Rey is maybe tied to those too.
There might be loads of alternative to seem in different cinematic outings although. The variety of deliberate movies now totals 14, and given virtually nothing is thought about any of them, Rey may simply discover her method in.
Just a few may be written off, nonetheless. The solely Star Wars movie with a launch date and a few precise footage behind it’s The Mandalorian & Grogu, which hits cinemas on May 22, 2026. This might be a sequel to The Mandalorian Season 3, which takes locations many years earlier than the Sequel Trilogy, and, assuming it does not characteristic a 30 12 months time leap, subsequently cannot characteristic Rey.
Another movie will equally be concerning the fruits of Star Wars reveals corresponding to Ahsoka from Lucasfilm’s chief artistic officer Dave Filoni and presumably will not characteristic Rey both. The Donald Glover-starring Lando Calrissian movie faces a fair grander extension of this downside, going down in the course of the Original Trilogy and subsequently even additional behind within the Star Wars timeline.
A movie concerning the daybreak of the Force from Logan and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director James Mangold goes even additional, going down 1000’s of years earlier than the principle Skywalker Saga, so this may be written off too. And one from Thor Ragnarok and Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi may also happen far-off from these primary movie trilogies when it is ultimately launched round 2030.
Everything else is seemingly an choice although, together with a film from Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, a whole trilogy from Star Wars: Episode 8 – The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, and one other from Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins. The aforementioned Kinberg trilogy may be added to the checklist too.
