Oscar isaac Sets Condition for “Star Wars“ Return: no “Fascism“
Oscar Isaac, 46, has indicated he would be open to reprising his role as Poe dameron in the “star wars” universe, but only if disney addresses concerns about its direction. The actor, who starred in the recent ”star Wars” trilogy, stated he is currently uninterested in working with the studio, but left the door open for future collaboration contingent on a shift away from what he termed “fascism.”
IsaacS comments,made in a recent interview with GQ,come amid ongoing scrutiny of Disney’s handling of political and social issues. the actor’s willingness to return hinges on a essential change in the company’s approach,signaling a potential willingness to engage with the franchise again should those conditions be met. This stance reflects a growing trend of actors publicly aligning their work with their values.
“But if they can somehow manage this and not give in to fascism, that would be great,” Isaac said, adding, “If that happens, then I would be open to a conversation about ‘Star Wars’ or many other things.”
GQ noted the interview took place shortly after Jimmy Kimmel, 57, was briefly suspended from his late-night show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, following commentary on Charlie Kirk, and subsequently celebrated his return to ABC, a Disney-owned network.
Isaac previously expressed positive sentiments about his experience filming the trilogy, praising his colleagues in a 2020 interview with Deadline. “I enjoyed the challenge of these films and really enjoyed working with a huge group of incredible artists, actors and all the other people,” he said.
More recently, in an August interview with Variety, Isaac affirmed he “would be back on ‘Star Wars’ if there was something good to do with it.”
