Don’t expect to see Oscar Isaac reprise⁢ his role as hot-shot pilot Poe Dameron in the “Star Wars”‌ franchise⁣ any time‍ soon.

The “Frankenstein” star admitted⁣ in a ⁤ GQ‍ interview ‍ released⁣ Monday that ⁢he’s not interested in ⁣working for the media⁤ company given its acquiescence to the ⁤Trump management.

“I’d be open to [returning to ‘Star Wars’] although right now I’m⁤ not so open to working with Disney,” Isaac said.​ “But ​if ⁢they ​can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great.”

Context of Isaac’s Statement

Isaac’s comments ​stem from his‍ disapproval of Disney’s handling of political ⁢donations and public ‌statements following the 2024 election⁢ and subsequent legal challenges.he specifically referenced concerns​ about Disney’s initial response‍ to Florida’s Parental Rights in ⁤Education Act (frequently enough referred to as the “Don’t Say ⁢Gay” law) and the company’s subsequent actions,‌ which‍ he perceived as prioritizing‌ profit over social​ obligation. ​The interview⁢ was conducted in ⁢the days immediately following the shooting death​ of protesters in Florida following​ the contested election results, adding to the charged political climate.

This​ isn’t‌ the first time Isaac has publicly expressed political views. He‌ has been a vocal supporter of ⁢progressive causes and ‌has used his platform to advocate​ for social justice. ⁢His stance on Disney, however, appears ⁣to be a more ⁣recent development, tied to ​specific⁤ company actions.

Disney’s Response and ⁣Political Involvement

Disney has faced increasing scrutiny over its political‍ contributions and lobbying efforts in recent years. Following the passage of Florida’s ⁢Parental ‍Rights in Education Act, Disney initially remained ‍silent,⁤ drawing criticism‌ from LGBTQ+ advocates and⁢ employees.The company ​later publicly opposed the law,leading to a ⁤political battle with⁢ Florida‍ Governor Ron​ DeSantis and the revocation of special privileges granted to Disney’s Reedy⁤ Creek Enhancement ‌District.

According to ‍data from OpenSecrets.org, Disney spent over $13.5 million on lobbying in 2024, focusing on issues including copyright law, trade, ‍and tax policy. The ‍company also made significant ⁣contributions ​to both Republican and ⁢Democratic⁢ political campaigns, though​ the balance shifted following the florida controversy.

Impact on⁢ the ‌’Star ⁢Wars’ ⁣Franchise

Poe Dameron was a‌ central character in the “Star Wars” ‌sequel ⁤trilogy,appearing in⁢ “The Force Awakens” (2015),”The Last Jedi” (2017),and “The Rise of Skywalker” (2019). Isaac’s performance was widely praised,⁢ and the character has ⁢become a fan favourite. ‍

While Disney ‍is currently developing new ⁢”Star Wars” projects for both film and television, the future of Poe dameron within⁢ the franchise remains uncertain. the company ⁤has not yet commented on Isaac’s‍ statements. However, his willingness to return is contingent on changes within the company’s leadership or policies, ‍potentially impacting future storylines and casting decisions.
