Oscar Isaac says he would only do Star Wars again if Disney doesn’t ‘succumb to fascism’

Oscar Isaac has said he is “not so open to working with Disney” in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, with the Star Wars actor saying he’d only consider working with Disney again if the company doesn’t “succumb to fascism”.

Asked in a GQ interview published Monday whether he’d consider returning to the Star Wars franchise, in which he played X-wing fighter pilot Poe Dameron across three films from 2015 to 2019, Isaac said, “Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great … if that happens, then yeah, I’d be open to having a conversation about a galaxy far away. Or any number of other things.”
