Adam Driver Says He's Done Playing Kylo Ren, but Would Return if Someone Revived His Canceled Solo Film
Adam Driver says he's done with Star Wars and Kylo Ren, but would be open to a return if someone revived his cancelled solo film.
Adam Driver, star of the Star Wars franchise, has announced he is done with the series and his role as Kylo Ren. Driver and director Steven Soderbergh were working on a film focusing on Kylo Ren, tentatively titled "The Hunt for Ben Solo." This film was intended as a sequel to "The Rise of Skywalker," but Disney decided against it as they could not accept Kylo Ren's return.
Driver stated on The Rich Eisen Show that the project was over and there would be no more Star Wars for him. He would be open to returning to Star Wars if the film were revived, but he believes the opportunity has passed. This aligns with Lucasfilm boss Dave Filoni's comments earlier this summer that the movie was not in active development.
Despite the passionate fan support for this project, Disney has shown no interest. It is also speculated that Disney may be distancing themselves from the sequel trilogy, which has received negative reviews with each installment. Currently, Disney is working on Star Wars Episode 10, with director Jon Watts leading the project.
