Star Wars: Will Adam Driver Return as Kylo Ren?

Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren was last seen in Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, where the character sacrificed himself in a fight against Palpatine in order to save Rey, his archenemy-turned-love interest. However, Star Wars fans are curious about whether or not he will return to the franchise at any point in the future. Here is all you need to know.

Will Adam Driver return as Kylo Ren in Star Wars?

No, Adam Driver will not be returning as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars franchise.

In an appearance on the Smartless podcast with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, Driver clarified that he will not be returning to the franchise by stating that Lucasfilm was doing their projects, but without his involvement in any of them. When asked whether or not this was due to his character arc having concluded, Driver responded by saying “yeah.”

Driver’s statements are accurate, given how Kylo Ren/Ben Solo met his end at the end of Rise of Skywalker when the character sacrificed himself by using his Force abilities on Rey to revive her after she was killed while destroying Palpatine.

Will a new actor play Kylo Ren in future Star Wars movies and TV shows?

It is unknown whether a new actor will play Kylo Ren in future Star Wars projects featuring the character.

However, if Adam Driver does not return, a new actor could play Kylo Ren in a potential Ben Solo project serving as a prequel to the events of the sequel trilogy. This could show Ben Solo’s descent into the dark side. Alternatively, a Kylo Ren prequel project could explore what the character was doing before the events of The Force Awakens.

Elsewhere in the Star Wars world, Billie Lourd has penned an emotional message for her late mother Carrie Fisher on the latter’s seventh death anniversary. Also, here are Zack Snyder’s four favorite films.
