Would Natalie Portman return to the Star Wars franchise?
While answering questions online for a GQ video, Portman came across a question asking if her and her character of Padmé would return to Star Wars in the future. The actress said that though she hasn’t heard anything about being brought back into the series, she’s “open to it.”
“I have no information on this,” Portman stated. “No one’s ever asked me to return, but I’m open to it.”
