In her newest film, The Marsh King's Daughter, Daisy Ridley plays a woman trying to rebuild her life after escaping a life of captivity in the wilderness with her criminal father (Ben Mendelsohn). Based on the 2017 novel by Karen Dionne, the film also stars Garrett Hedlund and is available to watch on digital now. The film is just one of many upcoming projects for Ridley, including Sundance darling Sometimes I Think About Dying, and her upcoming film festival entry Magpie, as well as her highly-publicized return to the galaxy far, far away in an upcoming Rey-centric Star Wars movie.

Daisy Ridley says Cleaner feels like her "first action movie." Ridley's breakout role came in 2015's Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens. Ridley has several other projects in the works: Sometimes I Think About Dying and Magpie. She will also be returning as Rey Skywalker in a new Star Wars film.
Learning the ways of the Force represents only a fraction of actress Daisy Ridley’s potential. True, the 31-year-old is best known for portraying Rey Skywalker in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, but she’s accumulated an impressive resume outside of that galaxy far, far away. In an exclusive interview with MovieWeb, the thespian discussed the upcoming projects she’s most excited about working on, which includes teaming up again with her Ophelia (2018) co-star Clive Owen in Cleaner. Ridley said:
"I don't know. I made Magpie from the ground up. So that was like a totally different experience.

Daisy Ridley has a lot going on these days, but she made a point to carve out some time to support The Marsh King’s Daughter, a film that was a promotional casualty of the now-resolved SAG-AFTRA strike. The English actor has plenty of reasons to be proud of her work in Neil Burger’s thriller, as she’s tasked with playing the psychologically complex and physical role of Helena. As a child, the character lived off the grid with her mother (Caren Pistorius) and father (Ben Mendelsohn) until she was abruptly and dramatically whisked away to lead a more civilized life.
Ridley shares the role with Brooklynn Prince, who plays young Helena in flashbacks. The two actors happened to have a viral moment in 2017, as Prince met Ridley backstage at Good Morning America. Ridley then surprised Prince once more during a The Florida Project Q&a with THR’s Scott Feinberg.
