As soon as Lena Dunham announced that a reboot in the Girls is now underway, fans immediately began speculating about which members of the cast would be returning.
While we already know that the revival will star Lena as well as series regulars Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet, Jemima Kirke and Andrew Rannells, many quickly started pondering whether we might get an appearance from Adam Driver, who played Hannah’s on-off boyfriend, Hannah.
However, he’s now made it clear that this is not on the cards.
Last week, during an interview with CinemaBlend, the Oscar nominee was outright asked if there was “any chance of Adam returning”.
“Nope,” he insisted. “But I wish them the best of luck.”
Since his breakthrough moment in Girls, Adam’s career has gone from strength to strength.
During his time on the show, he landed the role of the villainous Kylo Ren in the rebooted Star Wars trilogy, and later landed Oscar nominations for his performances in the movies BlacKkKlansman and Marriage Story.
He also went on to play Lady Gaga’s on-screen husband in House Of Gucci, Enzo Ferrari in Ferrari and the lead in Francis Ford Coppola’s ill-fated opus Megalopolis, and will next make his long-awaited MCU debut as the villainous Mister Sinister in the upcoming X-Men reboot.
Earlier this year, Lena made headlines when she namechecked Adam in multiple stories in her book Famesick, admitting that he could be difficult to work with on the set of Girls.
In her memoir, Lena wrote that Adam had been “short-tempered and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing” behind the scenes, adding that the two haven’t spoken since the show ended.
She also shared a troubling account of shooting a sex scene with Adam early on in the production, as well as recalling that he once threw a chair at a wall during a heated row.
Asked whether he’d changed since his Girls days, Adam told a reporter at this year’s Cannes Film Festival in May: “I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving it all for my book.”
