Ridley Excited About New “Star Wars” Writer

The status of the Daisy Ridley-led “Star Wars” film, currently in development, has been given a brief update by the actress herself.

At last report last month, “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “Ocean’s 12” scribe George Nolfi had come onboard to pen the “New Jedi Order” screenplay – taking over from “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight who left the project.

Pakistani-Canadian documentary filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is due to make her narrative feature debut with the film, while Ridley is reprising the role of Rey in a story to take place 15 years after the events in 2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”.

Out promoting her action role in “The Cleaner,” she tells Comicbook.com that she’s very happy with the hiring of Nolfi for the project:

“I have not read the latest script, but I know what’s happening, and I know the story, and I think what feels really good is that George is a phenomenal writer. I think we’re making sure that this story is the best way, this script is the best way to tell the story, and I think it will be worthwhile for everyone watching it, and I am very excited.”

Ridley also spoke about the possibility of her joining the MCU at Marvel Studios:

“Look, I’m open to loads of stuff. I work with this amazing second AD called Matthew Sharp, and he texts me cause he’s doing Avengers, and he goes, ‘If they call.’ So I was like, ‘If they call, absolutely.’ I then of course love Batman, love The Penguin. I’m a fan of so many sorts of films. Yeah, I’m open to everything.”

With Nolfi still writing the “Star Wars” project, there’s no indication as to when the film might go into production yet, let alone when it may eventually release.
