Riz Ahmed on Returning For More Venom and Star Wars: Nah
Meanwhile, Ahmed was asked by THR if he might return to the worlds of Venom or Star Wars. The actor played villain Carlton Drake in 2018’s Venom, and hero Bodhi Rook in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. And, in both cases, his characters died. “I think I’m done in Venom,” Ahmed said. “It’s pretty conclusive. Dude got blown up in a spaceship.” He’s right: the dude did, indeed, get blown up in a spaceship.
And what of Star Wars? While that character also got blown up, Ahmed’s Rogue One co-star Diego Luna is returning in Cassian Andor, a Disney+ series that serves as a prequel story. If they’re bringing back Diego Luna, could they bring back Riz Ahmed as well? Apparently not, as Ahmed replied: “I just haven’t heard of that, to be honest.” Now, there’s always a chance that Ahmed is playing coy and that he’ll pop-up on the Cassian Andor show in some sort of cameo, but for now, let’s take him at his word.
