Daisy Ridley Says She’s Ready to Join the MCU and the Avengers... If Marvel Calls
Daisy Ridley has already made her big mark in the Star Wars franchise, but she’s not stopping there. The actress, best known for her role as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, has her sights set on another massive franchise with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
If the opportunity presents itself, she wouldn’t mind suiting up as an Avenger. While promoting her new film Cleaner, Ridley spoke with ComicBook about the idea of joining the MCU, and it’s clear that she’s game.
Ridley said: “Look, I’m open to loads of stuff. 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.’ I then of course love Batman, love The Penguin. I’m a fan of so many sorts of films. Yeah, I’m open to everything.”
While Marvel has no shortage of heroes to play with, there's always room for fresh faces, and if they want someone like Ridley jumping in to play in the sandbox, I’m sure they could find a cool character for her to take on.
Of course, before anything like that happens, she’s gearing up to reprise her role as Rey Skywalker in a new Star Wars film currently in development at Lucasfilm.
Are there any Marvel characters you think Ridley would be a great fit for?
