by

Simon Kinberg, the writer behind X-Men: Days of Future Past, has given a new hint about his planned Star Wars trilogy. The update suggests Daisy Ridley, who played Rey Skywalker, might be involved. This news comes over a year after the project was initially announced, though the studio hasn’t yet said when the first movie will be released.

What’s the new update for the next Star Wars movie trilogy?

Rumor has it that Ridley Scott’s Rey Skywalker will return in a significant capacity for a new Star Wars trilogy being developed by Simon Kinberg. However, the trilogy may also focus on a new set of main characters. It’s currently unknown how Rey’s involvement would tie into the planned solo movie focusing on a Jedi, which is being directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and written by Steven Knight.

Kinberg recently shared that his new Star Wars project will aim for a story that feels both grand in scope and deeply personal.

Kinberg explained that his favorite Star Wars film is The Empire Strikes Back because it effectively blends large-scale action with deeply personal stories. He praised how the film makes the stakes feel incredibly personal for the characters while still delivering exciting science fiction. He also highlighted the series Andor for achieving a similar balance, calling it an emotionally powerful and intense show with both personal stakes and significant political themes.

The new movie starring Rey Skywalker is set about 15 years after the events of the 2019 film. The story will focus on Rey’s efforts to create a fresh Jedi Order. For now, details about the characters and when the movie will be released are being kept secret.
