Overview
- In a GQ interview, Oscar Isaac said he is not currently open to working with Disney and would only reconsider if the company can, in his words, "not succumb to fascism."
- GQ noted the conversation occurred two days after ABC and Disney pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the show returned days later as Disney said the pause aimed to avoid inflaming a tense moment.
- Isaac’s comments update his August position, when he told Variety he’d consider playing Poe Dameron again if there were “something good to do,” a shift from his 2020 “need another house” quip he now regrets.
- The Kimmel suspension drew industry backlash, with figures including Pedro Pascal, Diego Luna and Andor writer Dan Gilroy condemning the decision as a free-speech concern.
- Isaac is promoting Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein on Netflix and has been tapped to lead season two of Netflix’s Beef.
