Daisy Ridley set to return as Jedi Rey in one of three upcoming Star Wars films

Daisy Ridley is set to reprise her role as Jedi Knight Rey in one of three new Star Wars films, it has been announced.

The British actress, 30, was the main protagonist in the latest instalment of the franchise 'Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker' in 2019 and will return as the character after Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed three new films were in the pipeline while speaking on stage at the Star Wars Celebration event in London on Friday.

The first of the three films, which will be directed by Ms Marvel’s Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, will see Rey build a new Jedi Order following the apparent defeat of the dark forces in her last movie.
