Part 2/8:
One of the earliest headlines this year centered around the fate of the Daisy Ridley-led Ray film. Initially, a single source claimed the project was delayed indefinitely, sparking widespread speculation. The news swiftly prompted debate: was the film truly shelved, or was this just a form of studio damage control?
In the days that followed, more credible reports surfaced suggesting that the movie was still in production, with plans to proceed as scheduled. Notably, there are indications that the film could still aim for a 2026 release—specifically targeting December 2026—although, as with many Star Wars projects, continuity in reports remains elusive.
