Adam Driver believes the “ship has sailed” on playing Ben Solo again, according to Nerdist’s account of his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. The outlet quotes him saying, “No more Star Wars.” Source
“If they wanted to, fine, but it’s not our call,” Driver said when Eisen asked about resurrecting Ben Solo, Nerdist reports. That’s a consequential “if” to leave in a goodbye. Source
According to Nerdist, Driver wanted to make The Hunt for Ben Solo and Steven Soderbergh wanted to direct it, but the proposal was abandoned. The outlet reports that Driver spent two years working on the script with collaborators, including Soderbergh, and described it as “awesome” and “really cool.” Source
In its “Nerdist’s Take” commentary section, the outlet reads Driver’s remarks as pessimism about Disney’s willingness to make the project—not a declaration that he would never return. Source
A conditional “fine” isn’t a commitment from Driver or a green light for The Hunt for Ben Solo. Source
