\n\tWe know Adam Driver<\/a> has no plans<\/a> to return to Lena Dunham\u2019s Girls reboot, but what about the Star Wars<\/a> franchise? Any chance fans will see Kylo Ren<\/a> again?<\/p>\n

\n\tNah. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYeah, yeah, it\u2019s over,\u201d Driver said this week on The Rich Eisen Show<\/a> podcast with regard to the possibility that he\u2019d return to play Kylo Ren. \u201cNo more Star Wars. We tried. We tried to do one more, but they were like, no, he\u2019s dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe character was killed off in The Rise of Skywalker (2019), although Driver says on the podcast that she and Steven Soderbergh had indeed worked on a standalone Kylo Ren movie that never came to fruition.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe got a script together that was really good with Scott Burns and Rebecca Blunt,\u201d Driver tells Eisen about the standalone project that had the working title The Hunt for Ben Solo. \u201cWe all worked on it. It was awesome. It was really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey didn\u2019t see how Ben Solo was alive,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that was that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDriver points out that ultimately the decision of whether or not to bring back the character isn\u2019t his to make. \u201cIf they wanted to, fine, but it\u2019s not our call,\u201d the actor said. \u201cI think the ship has sailed, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDriver is currently starring in James Gray\u2019s Paper Tiger along with Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller. Set in 1986 Queens, NY, the film follows two brothers who become entangled in a scheme that ends up involving the Russian mafia. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and is being released November 13 by Neon.<\/p>\n
