Steven Soderbergh Disappoints ‘Star Wars’ Fans With Adam Driver’s Ben Solo Movie Update

​Director Steven Soderbergh has a disappointing update for “Star Wars” fans hoping to see Adam Driver reprise his role as Ben Solo in a future movie. The villainous Kylo Ren, who first appeared in 2015’s “The Force Awakens,” was later redeemed in 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker,” which was also the last “Star Wars” film released in theaters. Although Ben Solo seemingly passed away at the end of the sequel trilogy, Driver and Soderbergh had an idea to continue Ben’s story. Unfortunately, top Disney execs did not, leading to the film’s cancellation. Despite a significant fan campaign to get the movie back on track, especially with changes in both Lucasfilm and Disney’s leadership, Soderbergh revealed that the movie is “done” and that he has moved on to other projects.. ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA. In January, Kathleen Kennedy stepped down as President of Lucasfilm and was replaced by Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan. Two months later, Josh D’Amaro officially succeeded Bob Iger as Disney CEO. With so much change in leadership, “Star Wars” fans were hopeful that the Ben Solo film, tentatively dubbed “The Hunt for Ben Solo,” would finally come to fruition.. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case. While promoting his upcoming film “The Christophers,” director Steven Soderbergh told The Playlist that the film is dead, saying, “Look, if it was gonna happen, it would have happened.”. “It’s that simple,” he added, giving a clear “Nope” when asked if he would ever return to the project.. MEGA. Soderbergh was also asked about a fan rumor suggesting that Tony Gilroy’s highly successful Disney+ series “Andor” sparked the idea of bringing Ben Solo back to life. Soderbergh shot that idea down, saying that conversations with Driver had actually started before the “Andor” premiere.. “Well, I don’t want to say [it had no influence], because then it makes it seem like, you know, ‘I watched ‘Andor,’ and it had absolutely no impact on me,’ which is not true, it was great,” he explained. “But this was [all] before ‘Andor’ aired. Adam and I started talking, and this would have been almost three years ago now.”. ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA. Soderbergh still valued the project as a valuable creative exercise, even if it is no longer moving forward.. “I don’t regret one minute of the time we spent working on that,” he said. “I felt the work was good. It’s just good for you to be in that room and working on it. It’s like CrossFit—it’s good for you. It’ll have a residual effect that will be unexpected at some point.”. Instead of lingering on regrets, it seems Soderbergh is taking a page out of Kylo Ren’s book and is ready to “let the past die” and move on to other projects.. “As soon as it became apparent, OK, not gonna happen, I sat down and started writing [something else],” Soderbergh said. “It’s like, ‘OK, new scenario, let’s get cracking.’ At a certai

Taylor Swift Wedding Details Leak Despite Tight Security

​Taylor Swift is gearing up for one of the year’s most buzzed-about celebrity weddings, but despite her attempts to maintain tight control, crucial details have already leaked. The pop icon and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, are said to be organizing an extravagant summer event featuring rigorous privacy measures and a selectively chosen guest list. Even so, sources reveal that no plan is foolproof, giving fans an uncommon peek at Swift’s upcoming nuptials. Taylor Swift Enforces Strict Privacy Rules as Wedding Preparations Advance. Danny Mahoney/Wynn Las Vegas/MEGA. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly set to wed on July 3, a significant step in their widely watched romance. A Daily Mail report claims the pair took extensive steps to keep their wedding private, mandating that guests sign an NDA when responding to save-the-date invites. Even so, some details leaked publicly. Insiders indicate the couple feels “disappointed” about the breach but won’t pursue lawsuits. They’re continuing preparations, prioritizing a memorable and contained celebration. Swift Opts for New York Instead of Anticipated Rhode Island Location. MEGA. Although many fans expected Taylor Swift to host her wedding at her famous Rhode Island mansion, insiders reveal the ceremony will occur elsewhere in New York instead. The precise location is being kept secret, but it’s characterized as an arena- or museum-style venue, hinting at a lavish and unconventional backdrop. This choice reflects the singer’s strong ties to New York City. Over the years, she has developed a substantial real estate presence in Tribeca by merging several properties into a single vast residence. She has also owned a townhouse nearby and a spacious loft in the same area. More than just real estate, the city has been pivotal in her creative endeavors. From her hit “Welcome to New York” to the fan-favorite “Cornelia Street,” Swift has frequently drawn inspiration from the city she now calls home. Taylor Swift Plans Indoor Ceremony To Maintain Control And Privacy. imageSPACE / MEGA. One of Taylor Swift’s top priorities seems to be keeping complete control over her wedding setting. Sources indicate she has opted for an indoor venue to sidestep the uncertainties of outdoor events. “It’ll happen indoors somewhere,” one insider revealed, explaining that the 36-year-old aims to dodge the issues seen at other celebrity weddings. The source noted that “Taylor doesn’t want it to resemble Selena’s wedding,” alluding to Selena Gomez’s outdoor event in California. Reports suggest the main worry is that outdoor locations complicate efforts to ensure privacy.

Mark Hamill Breaks Silence On Lucasfilm Leadership Change

​Mark Hamill, the actor famed for portraying Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars series, has always been outspoken with his views. Lucasfilm and Disney recently underwent a leadership shakeup. In January 2026, Kathleen Kennedy resigned as Lucasfilm President, and was succeeded by Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan. In March, Josh D’Amaro officially took over from Bob Iger as Disney’s CEO. Many fans are curious about how these changes could affect the franchise’s future, but Hamill appears untroubled.

During a promotion for his new role with The Lego Group, the 74-year-old actor commended Dave Filoni—who collaborated directly with George Lucas on the animated series The Clone Wars— in an interview with USA Today. Hamill said that Filoni grasps the franchise so well and that he can’t think of better hands to helm the galaxy far, far away. He also praised the great stuff Filoni has created, such as The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, both featuring a young Luke Skywalker. “George was a mentor to Dave, so he knows George’s sensibility,” Hamill added.

Mark Wahlberg Reveals Influencer Who ‘Didn’t Do Much’ In 4 AM Club Challenge

​Mark Wahlberg, renowned for his commitment to fitness, is now spreading that enthusiasm through a new YouTube series that highlights his rigorous daily workouts and features tough celebrity guests. The show, titled the “200 AM Club Challenge,” gives viewers a peek into his disciplined routine and the demanding pace he sets for participants.

Wahlberg announced the project in late March, and two weeks later TMZ spoke with him about it. During the interview, he called out influencer-turned-comedian Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, as the celebrity who put in the least effort. Wahlberg said Druski didn’t really do much during the challenge and often seemed absorbed in his phone.

Druski’s own involvement in a version of the “200 AM Club Challenge” has not yet been released, and it’s unclear whether he participated for laughs or took it seriously. In past appearances, the influencer had trained diligently, including taking part in a Nike Run event in 2024.
