Collider Mailbag’s John Rocha is out of town so it’s Mark Reilly coming in hot to fill in! Reilly is joined by Wendy Lee to answer your questions on Dark Rey being a secret apprentice, the lasting effect on Man of Steel six years later, what would happen to the X-Men franchise had Disney not bought the franchise, what we are looking forward to with Disney+, and why some directors leave a project after signing to the dotted line.
Thanks to the #ColliderMailbag fans for today’s questions: 1. Could Dark Rey be a cloned secret apprentice to Emperor Palpatine? 2. Do you think the later films on the DCEU failed to deliver on the Superman set up in Man of Steel? 3. What are we most looking forward to from Disney plus - Obi-Wan, The Mandalorian, Loki, Wandavision, Moon Night, She Hulk, Lady and the Tramp?
4. If Disney hadn’t purchased Fox, and Dark Phoenix performed the way it did, what do you think Fox’s next step would have been with the franchise? 5. Why do directors exit a project at a studio after agreeing to make the movie and sign on for the picture?

The last big piece of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker promotional material had the world buzzing, about Daisy Ridley's Rey. That's because the Episode IX footage that was unveiled at D23 featured a climatic shot of Rey in dark robes sporting a double-bladed lightsaber, giving rise to all kinds of "Dark Rey" theories and speculation. Well, today Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is putting out a different kind of message about Rey. That message comes via a new image that concretely reaffirms Rey's position as galaxy's best hope:

Daisy Ridley is aware of fans’ Rey and Kylo Ren shipping, and has some new things to say about how their connection will be handled in the final Skywalker Saga film. The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker star was asked about the ambiguous relationship between her heroic rebel and Adam Driver‘s villainous First Order leader. The two are not entirely enemies. They’re certainly not friends. They don’t seem to not be attracted to each other. There’s just a lot of kind-of-hard-to-pin down tension floating around that’s led to all sorts of speculation, debates and romantic fan art. “It does not bother me, people writing theories,” Ridley said. “It’s really fun hearing them. Plus, because I know what’s sort of going to happen, I think it’ll be really interesting to see people’s reaction to [the final film]. Obviously, there’s this whole Reylo thing and some people are very passionate about it, some aren’t.” Ridley hinted that the seemingly romantic connection isn’t left unaddressed by director J.J. Abrams in The Rise of Skywalker. “J.J. does deal with [it],” she added. “It’s a very complex issue. People talk about toxic relationships and whatever it is. It’s no joke and I think it’s dealt with really well because it’s not skimmed over.”

While the world mourned the death of Carrie Fisher, her Star Wars costar Daisy Ridley had to keep the legend’s spirit alive. Ridley, 27, stars opposite Fisher in the upcoming The Rise of Skywalker, which was shot after Fisher died of cardiac arrest at the age of 60 in December 2016. But while Fisher was tragically not around to film, director J.J. Abrams found a way to bring back her character by using old footage of Fisher from previous movies in the trilogy. “It was definitely difficult,” Ridley told British GQ in the magazine’s January/February cover story of filming scenes involving Fisher. “It was emotional doing it, because you’re also weirdly picturing her. You’re not picturing how the scene is going to be.” “It’s really sad,” Ridley added. “And it’s going to be really sad. But also, it’s amazing that they have all this footage that is woven into the story in such a strange way.” One of the scenes that’s been frequently teased in the trailers show Ridley and Fisher sharing an emotional hug.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker actress Daisy Ridley has attracted criticism following a recent interview with The Guardian. Daisy, who plays scavenger-turned-Jedi apprentice Rey in the franchise, made comments in response to a question about privilege. When talking about her private education, Daisy replied by suggesting that she is no more privileged than her Star Wars co-star John Boyega, which has been met with heavy criticism on social media. Ridley was asked if her background – including private boarding school and relatives who are established in the industry – has helped her to navigate the world of celebrity easier than her peers. The star replied: "The privilege I have – how? No, genuinely, how?" When reporter Nosheen Iqbal explained she meant in terms of class and wealth and wasn't criticising her, Ridley went on to suggest that her experiences weren't too dissimilar to those of her co-star John Boyega. Boyega, who plays Finn in the franchise, was raised in south London by British-Nigerian immigrant parents and applied for a hardship fund to join Theatre Peckham. "Well no, because, no… John grew up on a council estate in Peckham and I think me and him are similar enough that… no," the actress continued.
