Oscar Isaac Has Some Strong Words For Disney As He Rules Out Star Wars Return For Now

Oscar Isaac at the Frankenstein premiere last monthOscar Isaac has said that he’d want to see some changes behind the scenes at Disney before he agreed to appear in another Star Wars movie.The Frankenstein star played the Resistance pilot Poe Dameron in the rebooted Star Wars trilogy between 2015 and 2019, and in the six years since, has repeatedly been grilled about whether he’d ever be keen to return to that galaxy far, far away.During a recent interview with GQ, it was mentioned that he’d once said he’d only return to the sci-fi saga if he needed “another house or something”, commenting: “Yeah. That was a real likeable quote. Jesus Christ.“Y’know, people ask you things, you say stuff, you don’t really think about it that much. I said a slightly dickish thing.”The magazine’s reporter then pointed out that Oscar had seemingly softened on the idea in more recent years, to which he admitted that he is “open to” a new Star Wars movie – albeit not at this exact moment in history.“Right now I’m not so open to working with Disney,” he admitted. “But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great.”GQ pointed out that their interview took place during Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension from his US talk show, which led to a widespread boycott of the Walt Disney Company, the parent company of his employer, ABC.Back in September, ABC announced that Jimmy was being taken off the air “indefinitely” as the result of remarks he had made days earlier about the fall-out from the killing of far-right political commentator Charlie Kirk.The incident stemmed from a comedy monologue, during which the comedian observed: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”After the news broke that Jimmy was being suspended because of this comment, many called for a boycott of the streaming services Disney+ and Hulu (both of which are owned and operated by Disney), with the company reported to have taken a hit of around $3 billion overnight.Jimmy made light of this when he eventually returned to ABC days later.Oscar isn’t the only member of the Star Wars reboot’s cast to have some choice words for Disney, though, after John Boyega claimed the studio failed to flesh out the characters played in the series by actors of colour compared to those portrayed by their white counterparts.MORE STAR WARS:Mark Hamill Reveals How He Really Feels About Controversial Star Wars Film The Last JediThe Acolyte Star Jodie Turner-Smith Voices Upset At Disney's Handling Of Racist Backlash‘That Was Hard’: Ewan McGregor Reflects On Massive Backlash Against Star Wars Prequels
