Daisy Ridley Joins Minnesota Vikings for Skol Chant and Promotes New Film ‘Magpie’

Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley recently made a memorable appearance at a Minnesota Vikings game, where she enthusiastically participated in the team’s iconic ‘skol chant’. Ridley, known for her role as Rey in the Star Wars franchise, was in Minnesota to promote her new film, ‘Magpie‘, which premiered at the Twin Cities Film Festival on Monday in St. Louis Park.

Ridley and her husband, Tom Bateman, who wrote and stars in ‘Magpie’, watched the Vikings’ narrow 31-29 loss to the Detroit Lions from a turf suite. During the game, they even made a cameo appearance on the jumbotron. The following day, the Vikings shared a video on social media showing Ridley, dressed in a Justin Jefferson jersey, performing the skol chant alongside the team’s mascot, Victor.

The film ‘Magpie’ is a thriller that centers around Ben, who becomes captivated by glamorous movie star Alicia when their daughter Matilda is cast in a film alongside her. As Ben becomes increasingly enchanted by Alicia, his partner Anette faces emotional strain and a psychological tipping point at home.

Ridley’s participation in the skol chant was met with excitement from fans, with many expressing their surprise and delight at seeing the Star Wars actress engage in a football cheer. Her appearance highlighted the international appeal of the Vikings, with several fans noting that the team has a significant following outside of Minnesota and the U.S..
