Oscar Isaac On Palpatine Meme & Marvel Future
Joonas Suotamo is Chewbacca, Oscar Isaac is Poe Dameron, Daisy Ridley is Rey and John Boyega is Finn in STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
Marvel and Star Wars star Oscar Isaac has discussed the heavily quoted scene from his performance as Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the third film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and the ninth and final part of the Skywalker Saga, which saw him reveal the shocking, unexplained return of the villainous Emperor Sheev Palpatine following his death in Return of the Jedi in the heavily quoted line “Somehow, Palpatine has returned.”
The line was scrutinised and mocked by fans, with many feeling as though the plot detail made no sense and was forced in with little care. Isaac shared the origin of the line while promoting his work on Beef.
“Yeah, those were re-shoots. We had to do re-shoots,” the actor shared with the Happy Sad Confused Podcast.
“Because when I look at I’m like, the wig’s pretty good… Those are like those surgical strikes where you like come in, and they’re like scrambling, trying to get everything going. That was like a new addition right at the end….”
“So there was a lot of movement and flux throughout that whole thing. But had you asked me if, at that moment, I thought that was going to be the one? [Laughs],” he added. “I wouldn’t have known… I mean, hey man, I mean I committed to the exasperation, that’s for sure.”
Isaac then gave insight into how Marvel may be planning to expand the TV series Moon Knight into a feature film centred around the Midnight Sons.
“Yeah, yeah. There was an interesting talk of ‘Midnight Sons’ and, again, it’s very tonally its really important because we’re playing with real stuff with that one,” he shared. “It’s expressing something very real and challenging, difficult. So…you really gotta take it seriously.”
Isaac appears as Jewish-American Steven Grant/Marc Spencer, a man with DID also known as Moon Knight, who is drawn into an Egyptian God mystery in the miniseries, which is part of the MCU’s Phase Four and garnered audience appraisal. The Midnight Sons are a team of heroes consisting of Blade, Morbius, and Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Riders.
