Career of 38-year old actor Adam Driver drastically soared in the last few years. He was nominated for Academy Award in 2019 for BlacKkKlansman and in 2020 for Marriage Story, and his newest film is Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci.

Although he was nominated for three consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for the role of Adam Sackler in HBO’s series Girls in 2013, 2014, and 2015, he gained wider recognition for the role of Ben Solo/Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He reprised the role in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which concluded the story of Kylo Ren, and the story of the Skywalker saga in general. But, does that mean that Driver is done with the role for good? Not necessarily, if you ask him.

“No, I’m totally not against it. For me, it’s a filmmaker’s medium, so my only thing is working with great filmmakers. Whatever the size … it’s never been interesting to me, to an extent. There’s interesting things about working on both. I always just follow people I’d be interested in working with, and whether I’d be right for the part — things like that. No, definitely not averse.”

Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy recently teased that characters from the sequel trilogy might return in the future, although she didn’t specify which characters and in which movies, or tv shows. The latest Star Wars movie The Rise of Skywalker was released in 2019 and it grossed $1 billion, which seems like a success, but thanks to mixed reviews, it was the lowest-grossing movie of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
