As the excitement builds for a new chapter in the Star Wars saga after six long years since The Rise of Skywalker, fans are buzzing with questions. A key concern on many lips is whether any of the beloved cast from the sequel trilogy will return for future films. As we eagerly await news on the upcoming Rey-focused film, another member of the next-gen trio has shared insights regarding a potential comeback to the galaxy far, far away.
Oscar Isaac, known for his portrayal of Poe Dameron, recently spoke to GQ Magazine in its ‘Men of the Year’ 2025 series. Reflecting on a flippant remark made in a 2020 interview with Deadline, Isaac mentioned he would consider returning to Star Wars “if [he] needed another house or something.” Now, he’s more thoughtful about what it would take for him to reprise his role.
“That was a real likable quote [to Deadline]. Jesus Christ. Y’know, people ask you things, you say stuff, you don’t really think about it that much,” Isaac mused. “I said a slightly dickish thing… I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great.”
His comments come at a tumultuous time for Disney. Following the controversy surrounding late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who faced backlash for his remarks about right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, Disney found itself in the crosshairs of criticism from both fans and celebrities. Isaac’s commentary was particularly significant with the backdrop of Disney’s struggles against perceptions of censorship and political compliance.
Throughout its history, Disney has often faced scrutiny for its corporate decisions, particularly regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. Earlier this year, the studio was called out for adhering to certain executive orders that affected these initiatives. The ongoing discourse surrounding such matters raises questions about whether fans would see Isaac back behind the controls of an X-Wing any time soon. But with Lucasfilm facing an uphill battle in getting new Star Wars projects off the ground, finding a resolution may not solely depend on Isaac’s feelings towards the studio.
What’s next for the future of Star Wars? As discussions continue, it’s clear that the fandom is eager for updates and clarity.
Can we expect any of the sequel trilogy cast to return in upcoming films? With both Isaac and Disney navigating their complex relationship, nothing is set in stone just yet.
Is there a timeline for new Star Wars releases? While speculation continues, official announcements regarding release dates remain awaited by fans worldwide.
What challenges is Lucasfilm facing in producing new films? Beyond artistic direction, the studio is grappling with audience reception and the political landscape that influences storytelling.
How have past controversies affected Disney’s ability to produce content? The implications of political criticism have led to careful considerations about storylines and character representation in future media.
What does this mean for the future of Poe Dameron? More open conversations between artists and studios could lead to exciting developments, should conditions improve.
