Riz Ahmed continues to promote his new film Sound of Metal, and in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter he discusses why a return to Star Wars and Venom are unlikely.
He shoots down the possibility of appearing in a Venom sequel (“I think I’m done in Venom. It’s pretty conclusive. Dude got blown up in a spaceship”) or in a rumored prequel film to Rogue One (“I just haven’t heard of that, to be honest”). In the meantime, Ahmed is consumed with his Left Handed development slate, which includes his longtime dream project: a contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The project was set up at Netflix but lapsed and reverted back to Ahmed.
