Waller-Bridge's career trajectory exemplifies her rising influence across high-profile franchises. She played an activist droid in Solo: A Star Wars Story, a role that seemingly incorporated woke themes into the sci-fi universe. She then transitioned into the Indiana Jones franchise, not merely as a supporting character but as a creative force, reportedly leading the fourth Indiana Jones film, Dial of Destiny. Early reviews for Dial of Destiny suggest that Waller-Bridge's presence overshadowed the titular hero, with critics noting that her character disrupted the traditional tone and dynamic that fans expect from the Indiana Jones saga.
