Daisy Ridley, best known for her role as Rey in Star Wars, might be gearing up to trade lightsabers for capes. The actress recently shared her willingness to join either the MCU or the DCU.
With both Marvel And DC restarting and creating a new era, this might be the best time for Ridley to join. Moreover, if any of the two comes calling, it looks like Daisy Ridley is ready to answer.
Daisy Ridley Has Plans For MCU And DCU
In a recent interview with ComicBook, the Star Wars actor revealed her openness to joining either the MCU or the DC Universe, sparking excitement among fans eager to see her take on a superhero role. “Look, I’m open to loads of stuff,” Ridley shared.
“I work with this amazing second AD called Matthew Sharp, and he texts me cause he’s doing Avengers, and he goes, ‘If they call.’ So I was like, ‘If they call, absolutely,’” she added. Ridley is clearly interested, and given her past experience leading one of the biggest sci-fi franchises in history, she’d be a perfect fit.
Whether she joins the MCU or DCU remains to be seen. However, either way, she’s got the talent, the action-hero chops, and the fanbase to make it a huge success. Moreover, as James Gunn reboots DC Studios with Gods and Monsters and Marvel pushes toward the end of The Multiverse Saga, now is the perfect time for a fresh face to shake things up.

“And I think what feels really good is that George is a phenomenal writer. I think we’re making sure that this story is the best way. This script is the best way to tell the story.” For Star Wars fans, that’s an encouraging sign. The sequel trilogy had its share of controversy, with fans divided over how Rey’s arc was handled. Now, with a fresh creative team, there’s hope that this next chapter will give the character depth and closure. Additionally, Ridley’s return marks a major shift for Star Wars.
