Domhnall Gleeson Would Love to Return to Star Wars, Does Not Think It Will Happen

The Star Wars sequel trilogy was certainly very divisive among the fanbase, but some of the people involved are still very excited about the franchise and would be back instantly if given the opportunity. Unlike John Boyega, who most recently said he's done with our favorite galaxy far, far away, The Last Jedi writer/director Rian Johnson mentioned recently that he'd hate to be done with it, Oscar Isaac said he would consider returning if the story was right, and now, Domhnall Gleeson, who played Admiral Hux, has given the most emphatic yes out of the main cast in recent memory. (Outside of maybe Kelly Marie Tran, who is still involved with Lucasfilm.)



In a recent interview during the press tour for his new series The Patient, Gleeson was asked if he'd ever consider a return to the Star Wars galaxy, to which the actor replied, enthusiastically, the following:

Following Hux's satirical turn in The Last Jedi, in The Rise of Skywalker the character acted behind the First Order's back to have an act of personal revenge against Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. He was eventually killed off by Richard E. Grant's General Pryde, though it's always possible for future writers to retcon that and have him survive the Final Order, somehow. Star Wars has been there before, though it's very unlikely this will happen to a character that's been essentially sidelined since The Force Awakens.



Domhnall Gleeson is no stranger to big franchise movies, as he also played Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, and was becoming an established actor around the release of The Force Awakens, with roles in critically acclaimed movies like About Time, Ex Machina, The Revenant, or Brooklyn. Over the past few years, he's been more involved in television series like Run or The Patient. He will next be seen in HBO's The White House Plumbers.
