Adam Driver talks about his future as Kylo Ren

"I had an overall arc in mind that he wanted to do, which then changed," Driver explained. "His idea was almost the opposite journey of Vader, where Vader starts the most confident, the most committed to the Dark Side, and by the last movie he's the most vulnerable, and weak, and he wanted to start at the opposite, where this character was the most confused and vulnerable, and by the end of the three movies would be most committed to the Dark Side."

Many fans hoped that Driver would return in the upcoming Star Wars projects. However, only Daisy Ridley has been confirmed to be reprising her role. Other actors including John Boyega's Finn and Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron have not been officially mentioned in the upcoming projects.

While Driver isn't returning, we may see his character as a Force Ghost in future Star Wars projects. Lucasfilm has pulled this trick before, and it would be possible for Ben Solo to return in that capacity. It would be cool if Ren helped Rey in some aspects of her journey as she reestablishes the Jedi Order.

For now, Driver is currently promoting his latest film, Ferrari. The actor may be hoping to gain a third Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Enzo Ferrari in the movie.
