“They’re All Political”: Daisy Ridley Teases Her New Star Wars Movie

Daisy Ridley may be best known for her role as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, but in the years since The Force Awakens, she’s been able to show her range goes to the Outer Rim and back. She’s played a reimagined Shakespearean heroine in Ophelia, a determined swimmer in The Young Woman and the Sea, and a dystopian anomaly in Chaos Walking.

Now, she’s trying her hand at action with Cleaner, an action movie that asks the question “What if Die Hard, but John McClane is a badass female window cleaner?” The comparison isn’t lost on Ridley. “I called it Dry Shard because we were supposed to be on the Shard,” Ridley tells Inverse, referring to the iconic building in the London skyline.

But spreading her wings doesn’t mean Ridley is done with Star Wars altogether. Ridley is returning to Star Wars movies with a new sequel film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, colloquially known as New Jedi Order.

‘Sirens Of The Deep’ Is ‘The Witcher’ Distilled

The Witcher has always been a series that has worked hard to recapture the magic of the first season. Season 2 received lackluster reviews, and the hope of capturing lightning in a bottle again seemed all but hopeless when star Henry Cavill was replaced with Liam Hemsworth. But hope may have come in the strangest form: an animated spinoff movie that takes The Witcher back to its roots.

The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, now streaming on Netflix, takes a short story from the Witcher books and adapts it into a luscious, standalone adventure that rewrites the ending of its source material — and a classic fairytale.
