Oscar Isaac has revealed that he would be willing to return to the Star Wars<\/a> universe ‘if there was something good to do with that.’<\/p>\n

He played the hotheaded fighter pilot Poe Dameron in the franchise’s sequel trilogy, which was brought about by Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm.<\/p>\n

Released between 2015 and 2019, the trio of movies – comprising episodes seven through nine of the main film series – left fans sharply polarized.<\/p>\n

The last film in the trilogy, The Rise of Skywalker, ultimately wound up making roughly half as much as the first one, The Force Awakens.<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year it emerged that the box office profits Disney made from its Star Wars projects had yet to equal the $4 billion it spent buying Lucasfilm, via Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now Oscar, 46, has shared his own thoughts on Star Wars, in an interview with Euphoria<\/a> heartthrob Jacob Elordi<\/a> for Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Oscar <\/p>\n

Oscar Isaac has revealed that he would be willing to return to the Star Wars universe ‘if there was something good to do with that’<\/p>\n

Quoting a fan favorite line from The Simpsons, he said: ‘I\u2019m a Star Wars,’ then explained that ‘I\u2019d be a Star Wars again if there was something good to do with that.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Daisy Ridley, who starred alongside Oscar in the sequel trilogy<\/a>, will be resuming her role as Rey for an upcoming Star Wars film, the details of which have yet to be unveiled to the fanbase.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In recent years, the Star Wars franchise scored a critical and audience success with the runaway triumph of the series The Mandalorian.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pedro Pascal’s lead performance and the viral appeal of the adorable ‘baby Yoda’ have helped make the show a firm fan favorite.<\/p>\n

However the big screen has lately proven less fruitful for Star Wars, from the diminishing returns of the sequel trilogy to the spin-off Solo flopping outright.<\/p>\n

In 2020, one year after his last Star Wars film The Rise of Skywalker disappointed at the box office, Oscar announced he wanted to change tack in his career.<\/p>\n

He shared that he felt he had arrived at ‘a personal turning point’ and hoped to devote more of his attention to independent projects.<\/p>\n

As a result he was ‘probably’ less likely to return to the Star Wars universe, though he would reconsider if he ‘needs another house,’ he quipped to Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Now <\/p>\n

Now Oscar, 46, has shared his own thoughts on Star Wars, in an interview with Euphoria heartthrob Jacob Elordi for Variety\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Fans <\/p>\n

Fans will be able to see him as Victor Frankenstein in the upcoming movie adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, directed by Guillermo Del Toro<\/p>\n

In the years since Star Wars, he has co-starred with Jessica Chastain in the HBO remake of Ingmar Bergman’s classic miniseries Scenes from a Marriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although his work has included smaller projects like the dark comedy Big Gold Brick, he has also featured in larger tentpole movies like Dune: Part One.<\/p>\n

Having played Gomez in the 2019 reboot of The Addams Family, he reprised his role for the sequel, which was released two years later.<\/p>\n

He also had a voice role in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in 2023, and this year had a dual part as Jesus and Satan in the Christian cartoon The King of Kings.<\/p>\n

The King of Kings featured a glittering cast including Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan, Forrest Whitaker, Ben Kingsley and even Oscar’s old Star Wars co-star Mark Hamill, famous for playing Luke Skywalker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans will be able to see him as Victor Frankenstein in the upcoming movie adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, directed by Guillermo Del Toro.<\/p>\n

After premiering at the Venice International Film Festival next week, the movie will be released on streaming via Netflix on November 7.<\/p>\n
