Disney rejected Adam Driver’s idea for a Star Wars movie Movierulzz

Adam Driver says he promoted the entire Disney company star wars The film was built around Kylo Ren – and Disney rejected it.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Driver revealed that he “was talking about doing something else [Star Wars] Since 2021,” because “I love that character and I love playing her role.”

Driver played Kylo Ren in all three sequels star wars films, The force awakens, The last jedi, The Rise of Skywalker.

The movie the driver was interested in was going to happen next The Rise of Skywalkerwho appears to have killed Kylo Ren (aka Ben Solo) in a final act of redemption, with Ren sacrificing his life to save Daisy Ridley’s Rey.

In fact, Driver wanted Steven Soderbergh to direct the film, and he “narrated a story” with Rebecca Blunt that was then pitched to Lucasfilm. The script was then written by Scott Z. Burns which Driver described as “one of the most amazing (expletive) scripts I’ve ever been a part of.” (Soderbergh gave the AP a statement about the film, confirming its existence, saying, “I really enjoyed making the movie in my head. I’m just sorry that fans won’t get to see it.”)

Why didn’t that happen? Driver says while Lucasfilm “loved the idea,” they then went to “Bob Iger and Alan Bergman and said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.”

Disney and Lucasfilm declined to comment on Driver’s comments about the project, which was apparently going to be titled Searching for Ben Solo.

On the one hand, it’s hard to believe that Disney would turn down any opportunity to bring back a hugely popular character from a trilogy of hugely successful films. but The Rise of Skywalker He’s probably the least impressed star wars The movie at all, and the way the movie handles Ben Solo/Kylo Ren is a big part of that. If this movie had turned out differently, I could definitely see the entire Kylo Ren movie. But as things stand now… well, you can read for yourself what Disney thinks about the character now.

Disney is also in the midst of a reboot star wars A film franchise with new characters and less focus on the entire Skywalker family. The Mandalorian The film will be released in theaters next year and Shawn Levy is currently filming a movie titled Star Wars: Starfighter Which stars Ryan Gosling. Disney was also supposedly developing a movie around Daisy Ridley, but after hearing what happened to Driver when he tried to make a movie… Searching for Ben SoloThis seems less likely than it used to be.

the next star wars film, The Mandalorian and Grogu It is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 22, 2026.
