Driver Is Driving Away from Star Wars
It can be easy for stars to feel trapped by a franchise. After all, with such an iconic portrayal of an intense villain, Adam Driver could easily have gotten swept up in the dark and brooding villain typecasting. Fortunately, thanks to a sizable list of credits prior to his appearance in the Star Wars films, as well as enough notable performances between releases, Driver only made a pit stop in the world of big franchises before moving on to more diverse and intriguing roles.
We’re thrilled about the minimal (but exciting) news about Adam Driver starring in Sony’s 65. We know it may be a little early to start making predictions, but we’d love to hear yours!
