Daisy Ridley wants John Boyega to return as Finn in her new ‘STAR WARS’ movie. “It feels like we should, yeah.”


Ridley plays Trudy Ederle, the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel, in the new Disney movie.

One thing the actress will be doing is returning to Star Wars, with a film set 15 years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Director Joachim Rønning sang Ridley’s praises on the carpet, calling her “a force of nature” and applauding her commitment to the character. Young Woman and the Sea — which co-stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Kim Bodnia, Glenn Fleshler and Jeanette Hain, and counts Jerry Bruckheimer as a producer — hits theaters May 31.
