Daisy Ridley shows off her amazing acting skills in this behind-the-scenes clip from her audition for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The 23-year-old actress’ audition tape is featured in the DVD and Blu-ray extras for the movie’s release on April 5.
Daisy‘s audition scene was from the scene between Rey (Ridley) and villainous Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), where she is captured on Takodana and being interrogated.
The video also features J.J. Abrams discussing the casting process to find the perfect female for the intense role.
Daisy Ridley is definitely in talks to play Lara Croft in an upcoming Tomb Raider movie.
The 23-year-old actress was reportedly in contention to play the role, and though she did confirm it, she said there is not a script at the moment.
“I’m waiting for someone to say ‘I want you, let’s do it’,” Daisy added. “Absolutely, I’m trying to fill up my calendar,” she continued, despite having a busy Star Wars filming schedule.
“I played Tomb Raider the game, it’s a new take and I think the movies are going to be based on that version,” Daisy‘s Star Wars co-star John Boyega said. “But I texted Daisy [and] was like, ‘this is you!’ and ‘you need to get on that because you could be Lara Croft.’ She should be.”

“I don’t want to just do studio films because some of the scripts are really bad,” Maisie recently admitted to InStyle mag. “I never realized [there were so many one-dimensional female roles] until I read more scripts and had more auditions. Most of the time, it is a bit pants.”
