Isaac Expresses Reservations About Working with Disney
In a recent interview with GQ, Isaac addressed whether he would want to revisit his Star Wars role. He indicated a willingness to return, though his current stance on collaborating with Disney is cooler. He said,
“
[he’d] be open to it, although right now [he’s] not so open to working with Disney.
”
Further elaborating on the matter, Isaac added,
“
But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great.
”
This comment reflects Isaac’s discomfort with ongoing dynamics involving the studio.
Context of Isaac’s Remarks Amid Broader Industry Tensions
GQ noted that the interview took place shortly after ABC and Disney paused production of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” due to controversy following Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks on the death of Charlie Kirk. The outlet also confirmed that

Kimmel was back on the air four days after this conversation took place.

I said a slightly dickish thing.
