Daisy Ridley is a young English actress who has become popular thanks to just one role - the role of Ray in the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens. She also appeared in the thriller Murder on the Orient Express along with Kenneth Branagh and Johnny Depp.
Career
Ridley's debut in the feature film took place in 2015 - the girl got the main role in the independent British horror "Doodle". The picture was warmly received by critics, but did not gain much popularity.
In the same year, JJ Abrams approved aspiring actress Daisy Ridley for the lead female role in his blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The tape became one of the highest grossing in the history of cinema, having collected more than two billion dollars at the box office. It was thanks to the role of Ray in this film that Ridley instantly became a celebrity. The actress returned to the role of Ray in 2017, playing the main role in the next franchise film - Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The picture was another hit, collecting more than a billion dollars at the box office.
In 2017, the fantastic animated series Star Wars was shot, in which Daisy Ridley also voiced Ray.
Another famous project in Daisy Ridley’s filmography is the East Express Murder detective, in which she played with Michelle Pfeiffer and Johnny Depp. The film was based on the novel of the same name by Agatha Chrisi, who had already been made several times before. Reviews of film critics were mixed, but the boxing office amounted to $ 344 million, which made Brana's tape one of the highest grossing projects of the year.
Upcoming projects
In 2018, the historical romantic drama "Ophelia" will be released, in which Daisy Ridley plays the main role. The picture is another interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet. In addition to Ridley, Naomi Watts and Tom Felton also played in the film. Although many fans of the actors are eagerly awaiting the release of the tape on the screens, there is no exact release date yet.
In 2019, the release of the sci-fi movie "Star Wars. Episode IX" is planned, which all fans of the franchise look forward to. Daisy Ridley will return to the role of Ray. Filming will start in June 2018.
