Elizabeth Olsen, Jennifer Lawrence, and Shailene Woodley were considered for the role of Rey. Olsen refused the audition for the role, because she already had a contract with Marvel Studios for the role of Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and because the shoot dates for this movie overlapped with Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). In April 2014, J.J. Abrams chose Daisy Ridley as Rey, to mimic the same type of selections made by George Lucas, with little-known actors for the leading roles. In 1976, Lucas chose Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill for their respective roles of Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker.
