13 Feb - Daisy Ridley is excited that there is an update on the Star Wars project that she will be a part of after a long while.

The actress, who will be returning as Rey in the upcoming film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, said that she feels really good about George Nolfi coming in to write the script.

"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," Ridley said in an interview with ComicBook.

"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," she added.

Ridley first appeared on screen as Rey in 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". She then reprised the role in 2017's "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" and its final movie, the 2019's "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker".

Meanwhile, when asked if she would be interested in being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actress said that she is opened to all kinds of new things.

"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."
