"If you touch him, I will end you." Daisy Ridley is the new John McClane? Quiver has revealed the official trailer for Cleaner, an action thriller for Martin Campbell. This has such an extremely dumb, propaganda-based concept pegging environmental activists as bad guys. It's obviously influenced by the UK's hate for the "Just Stop Oil" people, which I have always found strange, with a script that makes them look even worse. Ugh. Even the action doesn't look unique or exciting, which is a pity. In Cleaner, activists hijack an energy company's gala, taking 300 hostages. One extremist plans mass murder as a message to the world. An ex-soldier turned window cleaner now works to rescue the hostages. Starring Daisy Ridley, Taz Skylar, and Clive Owen. So this is pretty much just a redo of Die Hard, but instead of Hans Gruber they have these "rogue" activists vs a window cleaner? I just hope by the end it stills makes sure to reveal the real crimes of these corporate schmucks and not just the activists. You might want stay away from this - looks forgettable.

Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Martin Campbell's action movie Cleaner, direct from YouTube:

Daisy Jazz Isobel Ridley (born 10 April 1992) is an English actress. She rose to prominence for her role as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy films The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).

She appeared in the mystery film Murder on the Orient Express (2017), played the title character of the romantic drama Ophelia (2018), and had voice roles in the animated film Peter Rabbit (2018) and the video game Twelve Minutes (2021). Ridley had leading roles in the science fiction film Chaos Walking (2021), independent drama Sometimes I Think About Dying (2023), and psychological thriller The Marsh King's Daughter (2023). She also portrayed Gertrude Ederle in the biographical drama Young Woman and the Sea (2024).

Early life
Ridley was born on 10 April 1992 in the London borough of Westminster, and grew up in Maida Vale.[1][2] She is the youngest of three daughters born to Christopher Ridley, a photographer, and Louise (née Fawkner-Corbett), who works in internal communications for a bank.[3][4][5] She has two older sisters, Kika Rose and Poppy Sophia,[6][7] as well as two older half-sisters.[8] Her mother's family, the Fawkner-Corbetts, were landed gentry with a military and medical background.[9] Her paternal great-uncle, Arnold Ridley, served in the military as well.[10] He separately forged a career as a playwright and actor (and is best remembered for playing Private Godfrey in the sitcom Dad's Army). Arnold Ridley's brother, Daisy's grandfather, John Harry Dunn Ridley, OBE, was head of the Engineering Secretariat at the BBC from 1950 to 1965.[11][12][13][14][15][excessive citations]

Ridley has stated that while growing up, her favourite film was Matilda (1996), referring to the titular character (played by Mara Wilson) as a role model.[16] While not a particularly strong Star Wars fan as a youth, she dedicatedly followed the Harry Potter series.[8]

Ridley won a scholarship to Tring Park School for the Performing Arts in Hertfordshire, which she attended from ages nine to eighteen.[17][18] She then studied classical civilisation at Birkbeck, University of London, before dropping out to focus on her acting career.[18] Prior to being cast in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Ridley worked for nearly two years as a bartender at two different pubs in London.[19] In 2016, she began studying for a Bachelor of Arts in social science through online courses with the Open University.[20][21]

Career
2013–2015: Beginnings and Star Wars breakthrough
Ridley began her career with minor roles in the television programmes Youngers, Toast of London, Silent Witness, Mr Selfridge, and Casualty.[22][23][24][25][excessive citations] She appeared in the short film Blue Season, which was entered into the Sci-Fi-London 48-Hour Film Challenge.[26] Ridley played the lead in film three of Lifesaver,[27] an interactive film which was nominated for a BAFTA Award.[28] She also appeared in the music video for Wiley's song "Lights On", playing the character of Kim.[17][29] Ridley made her film debut in the 2015 British independent horror film Scrawl, after her scenes from the British comedy film The Inbetweeners 2 were removed in the final cut.[30]

In April 2014, the casting of Ridley as Rey, one of the lead characters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, was announced.[22][23][24] She was cast for the film in February 2014.[31] At the time of her casting she was, according to Rolling Stone, a "total unknown".[32] Her choice by director J. J. Abrams was seen as a repeat of George Lucas' move of casting relatively unknown actors for the lead roles in the first Star Wars film in 1977.[33]

Ridley began filming her scenes in May 2014 at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, and prior to the film's release in December 2015, she appeared at the launch of a set of Star Wars postage stamps issued by the UK postal service Royal Mail, with her character Rey featuring on a stamp along with the droid BB-8.[34][35] With international revenues of over $2 billion,[36] The Force Awakens was a major box-office hit and the highest-grossing film of 2015. Her performance received critical acclaim, with Richard Roeper describing her portrayal as "a breakout performance" and adding "[Harrison] Ford has a terrific father figure chemistry [shared] with Ridley and [John] Boyega".[37]

2016–present: Continuing career
Ridley became the executive producer of the documentary The Eagle Huntress in January 2016,[38] which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 24 January 2016;[39] she also recorded narration for the film's wide release.[40] Ridley was one of several actors featured on Barbra Streisand's 2016 album Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway. Along with Anne Hathaway, Ridley and Streisand perform the song "At the Ballet" from A Chorus Line, with Ridley performing the role of Bebe, one of a trio of dancers hoping to be cast in a forthcoming show.[41][42]

In 2017, Ridley portrayed Mary Debenham in Murder on the Orient Express, an adaptation of Agatha Christie's detective novel of the same name. Directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh, production began in London in November 2016.[43] She also reprised her role as Rey, opposite Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker,[44] in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which was released in December 2017.[45]

In January 2018, Ridley starred in the titular role in Ophelia, a reimagining of the Hamlet tale, alongside Naomi Watts and Clive Owen. The project was filmed from April to July 2017 and debuted at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.[46][47] In February 2018, Ridley voiced the role of Cottontail in Peter Rabbit, an adaptation of the children's stories of the same name by Beatrix Potter.[48]

In December 2019, Ridley appeared as Rey in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the last film in the sequel trilogy.[49] She initially said she would not reprise her role again after this film,[50] and is quoted as saying, "I don't think anything could top [The Rise of Skywalker] for this character." However, she does show interest in returning as the character if needed, saying "[...] never say never. I'm always open to a revisit. But also the beautiful thing is it's this wonderful, huge universe with all of these stories that have yet to be told. I think there's a lot of cool things to be made before any potential revisit."[51] She also saw some truth in her co-star Boyega's claim that she would feel jealous if subsequent films were made with somebody else playing Rey.[52]

In 2021, Ridley co-starred in the film Chaos Walking, an adaption of the young-adult novel by Patrick Ness. She played Viola Eade, opposite Tom Holland who played Todd Hewitt. The film was released on 5 March 2021.[53] The film had been delayed occasionally due to poor test screenings that followed the film's reshoots, and later due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It received negative reviews and was a box-office flop.

She lent her voice to the point-and-click mystery video game Twelve Minutes, alongside James McAvoy and Willem Dafoe.[54][55] The game received positive reviews, with Ridley's performance being praised by critics. She also made a surprise appearance in Judd Apatow's 2022 movie, The Bubble, as Kate, a horny AI. The film received negative reviews.

In July 2023, Ridley was announced as the host of a True Spies podcast miniseries about Lee Harvey Oswald.[56]

Ridley started filming the lead role in The Marsh King's Daughter in Ontario, Canada on 7 June 2021. Filming wrapped on 6 August 2021.[57][58]

She voices a character in the French stop motion animated film The Inventor, which was released in the United States on 15 September 2023, and set for a French theatrical release in 2024.[59] In 2021–22, she shot an indie film titled Sometimes I Think About Dying in Astoria, Oregon, with Rachel Lambert directing and Ridley additionally serving as a first-time main producer on the project.[60][61] She starred in a biopic for Walt Disney Pictures titled Young Woman and the Sea in the role of Gertrude Ederle.[62][63]

Upcoming projects
In October 2021, Ridley had signed on for a sci-fi mystery thriller film called Mind Fall with Mathieu Kassovitz attached to direct.[64]

In May 2022, it was announced that Ridley would star in Magpie, a contemporary noir thriller written by her partner Tom Bateman, based on Ridley's original story idea, which is set to be directed by Sam Yates.[65] Ridley, Bateman and Kate Solomon of 55 Films act as producers for Magpie and describe the film as a "Hitchcockian thriller that will take audiences on a genuine ride".[66] Filming began in London in January 2023.

On 7 April 2023, it was revealed at Star Wars Celebration that Ridley would reprise her role as Rey in an upcoming untitled Star Wars film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy with Ridley appearing on stage.[67][68]

Personal life
Ridley resides in Primrose Hill, London. Since 2017, she has been in a relationship with actor Tom Bateman, whom she met on the set of Murder on the Orient Express.[69][70] In January 2023, during the Sundance Film Festival, Ridley confirmed that she and Bateman had married.[71]

In 2016, Ridley revealed she had been diagnosed with endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome at age fifteen, requiring her to undergo multiple laparoscopic surgery procedures. She states that her condition left her feeling low in self-confidence due to acne which followed.[72][73][74] In 2023, Ridley was diagnosed with Graves' disease, which gave her a racing heart rate, weight loss, and fatigue, among other symptoms.[75]

Social media presence
Following the 2016 Teen Choice Awards, which paid tribute to victims of gun violence, Ridley posted on both Instagram and Facebook an anti-gun violence message. Her post prompted backlash from the public, with critics accusing Ridley of hypocrisy in reference to the violence depicted in her Star Wars films.[76] Because of this, she deleted her social media accounts,[76][77] but briefly returned to Instagram, claiming the reason for the deletion was because she had "a busy few months ahead [and] so wanted less distractions".[76] She reiterated this statement in 2017, saying that social media is "highly unhealthy for people's mental health," including hers.[78] Ridley further commented on the topic in a 2019 interview, vowing never to return to social media. She said:

I honestly think now with social media and stuff...it's great to have freedom of expression, but I do feel like people think opinions have so much weight... I don't really think bad vibes should have the sun shone on them. [...] It's dangerous. [...] It's great in that respect for people who are in serious and dire situations to be able to be communicating, but for the most part I think — no, no, no.[79]

On 4 April 2022, Ridley returned to Instagram again after six years of being off the platform.[80] In her first post, she is seen sipping tea and engaging in self-care "refreshed, recharged, and ready for what I'm calling my 'Year of Yes'".[81][82] Ridley was welcomed back to Instagram by her Orient Express co-star Leslie Odom Jr. and Chewbacca actor Joonas Suotamo.[82]

The Cleaner trailer reveals Daisy Ridley channeling John McClane as a window cleaner fighting hostage takers. Directed by Martin Campbell, known for the James Bond movies GoldenEye and Casino Royale, the upcoming action thriller follows an ex-solider turned window cleaner who, suspended 50 stories outside a skyscraper, must save a group of hostages being held inside. The movie stars Daisy Ridley in the lead role alongside Clive Owen and Taz Skylar, with a script written by Simon Uttley, Paul Andrew Williams, and Matthew Orton.

Now, Sky Cinema has shared the first official trailer for Cleaner. It begins with Ridley's ex-soldier turned window cleaner, Joey Locke, suspended 50 stories outside a London skyscraper as a group of criminal activists takes over an energy company’s annual gala to expose their greed and corruption. However, their cause is hijacked by an extremist willing to kill everyone in the building, leaving it up to Ridley's cleaner to save the hostages trapped inside, including her younger brother. Watch the trailer below:

What The Cleaner Trailer Means For The Movie
It's Mission: Impossible Mixed With Die Hard
Daisy Ridley in Cleaner
Though Cleaner is directed by Martin Campbell, known for the James Bond movies GoldenEye and Casino Royale, his upcoming action movie appears to be more Mission: Impossible mixed with Die Hard. Daisy Ridley's character rappelling down a skyscraper surely conjures up images of Tom Cruise scaling the Burj Khalifa as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. However, the plot of Cleaner is also very similar to Die Hard as Ridley's character with a military background gets caught up in a terrorist takeover of a skyscraper during a party with a family member trapped inside, very similar to John McClane.

Die Hard: John McClane's 10 Greatest Quotes
The Die Hard films are great mostly due to the charm and put-upon weariness of their central protagonist, John McClane. These are his best quotes.

It remains to be seen if Cleaner's similarities to Mission: Impossible and Die Hard will help or hurt the upcoming action thriller. On one hand, they are some of the best action movies of all time, and if Cleaner can recreate only an inkling of what made them great, it could be an entertaining experience for action fans. On the other hand, Cleaner risks being derivative of better action movies that came before it. While the latter seems likely, it will become more apparent once the movie releases in theaters early next year.

Our Take On The Cleaner Trailer
Will Daisy Ridley's Recent Hot Streak Continue?
Daisy Ridley as Annette in Magpie
Since The Rise of Skywalker, Daisy Ridley has surely starred in her fair share of clunkers, such as Chaos Walking and The Marsh King's Daugther. However, she reinvented herself with a sorrowful performance in the Sundance drama Sometimes I Think About Dying and followed that up with successful roles in Magpie and Disney's Young Woman and the Sea. Though Cleaner seems like a questionable choice in the context of her recent roles, hopefully it's able to find some success and continue Ridley's recent hot streak.

Cleaner releases in theaters on February 21, 2025.

Cleaner
The trailer for new Sky Original film Cleaner has been released, ahead of the film’s premiere on Sky Cinema in Spring 2025.
Cleaner is the latest action thriller of Casio Royale director Martin Campbell, which features a stellar cast of Daisy Ridley (Star Wars, Young Woman and The Sea), Taz Skylar (One Piece, Boiling Point) and Golden Globe® winner Clive Owen (Closer, Inside Man).
Ridley stars as an ex-soldier turned window cleaner, who must step in to save a group of hostages when radical activists seize an energy company’s gala. Suspended 50 storeys up on the side of a London skyscraper, Ridley must fight to rescue those trapped inside, including her younger brother.
Daisy Ridley urged audiences to check out the film, saying: ‘I hope that people come in and willingly go on this insane ride. There are great action moments, and it’s a real character-led story.’
Synopsis:

After a group of criminal activists take over an energy company’s annual gala to expose their corruption, their just cause is hijacked by an extremist who is ready to murder everyone in the building to send out his anarchic message. It falls to an ex-soldier turned window cleaner (Ridley) – suspended 50 storeys up on the outside of the London skyscraper – to save those trapped inside, including her younger brother.
Okay, picture "Die Hard." But instead of a hard-boiled cop stuck atop a tower building in the middle of a terrorist takeover, it's Rey from the "Star Wars" films. Well, that image should give you a bit of an idea of this new action thriller "Cleaner," starring Daisy Ridley, who taps into her inner John McClane to play an unconventional action hero stuck in a dicey situation beyond her control. Check out the official trailer for this upcoming action movie that evokes the intense spirit of "Die Hard," but packs it with a bunch of British accents.

Clive Owen also stars as the Hans Gruber of this film, a clever ringleader of an extremist group who has just taken control of the annual gala at a London high-rise tower, hosted by a wealthy energy company. Unbeknownst to them, however, 50 stories above, a humble window cleaner (played by "Star Wars" star Daisy Ridley) inadvertently becomes a witness to the hostage situation. She's also the only thing standing in the way of the extremists getting what they want. And from the looks of it, they want nothing but to inflict pain and fear... and possibly death to some of the rich guests. Luckily for Ridley's character, she has some military training as an ex-army soldier. The question is, did the army ever teach her how to stop terrorists from blowing up a building into smithereens? Well, here goes nothing!

Co-starring Taz Skylar (from Netflix's "One Piece"), this upcoming action thriller is the latest from Martin Campbell, the veteran director known for his work on James Bond blockbusters like "Casino Royale" (2006) and "GoldenEye" (1995). He's also famous for directing the successful "Zorro" films, "The Mask of Zorro" (1998) and "The Legend of Zorro" (2005), featuring Antonio Banderas in the title character. In recent years, Campbell has been mainly focusing on low-to-mid-budget action thrillers, with varying degrees of success, including 2017's "The Foreigner" with Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, and 2021's "The Protege" with Maggie Q and Michael Keaton. This year, Campbell directed the all-female military thriller "Dirty Angels," starring Eva Green, Ruby Rose, and Maria Bakalova.

"Cleaner" is slated to hit theaters on February 21, 2025. Watch the trailer, above.
