Star Wars’ troubled movie slate is getting one other shake up. There have been just a few adjustments within the galaxy far far-off, in accordance with a report from Selection, together with the shelving of Kevin Feige’s thriller Star Wars film and Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron. However not each Star Wars film is on maintain. A minimum of a pair are nonetheless in improvement.
The 2 which can be, not less than nominally, nonetheless on monitor are Taika Waiti’s mission, which he’ll supposedly star in, and perhaps even Rian Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy, which went darkish after the considerably difficult response to 2017’s The Final Jedi — the sequel trilogy movie Johnson directed.
Patty Jenkins’ movie was presupposed to be the subsequent on the Disney launch calendar, initially slated for launch in December 2023 till it was pushed again indefinitely again in September. So the subsequent Star Wars film in line ought to be Taika Waititi’s, however there’s been no actual phrase on that movie’s progress because it was introduced in 2020. However with information that the movie continues to be in thew works, it does appear doable that it might nonetheless be the subsequent theatrical journey to the celebrities the franchise will get.
As for the much more mysterious motion pictures within the Star Wars lineup, evidently Kevin Feige’s mission, which had no script or director but, has additionally been shelved, Selection studies. Feige’s Star Wars mission was first introduced in 2019, and was alive as late as final yr, but it surely appears it has bitten the mud within the meantime.
As for Rian Johnson, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy says that the corporate nonetheless desires to work with him, however he’s nonetheless engaged on Knives Out sequels and Poker Face for the second, which might hold him busy.
This nonetheless leaves some huge questions on the Star Wars calendar long-term. As of now, the subsequent Star Wars launch date that Disney has pegged is December 2025, which technically any film might match into, even the primary movie in Rian Johnson’s trilogy that’s apparently nonetheless within the works.
It appears almost certainly at this level that Waititi’s Star Wars movie will fill the 2025 window, however that also makes a six-year hole between 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker and the subsequent Star Wars movie. Whereas Disney has saved that hole constantly crammed with a full stack of streaming sequence, it’s arduous to disregard the truth that Star Wars is a giant display screen franchise at coronary heart, albeit one that may’t discover its approach to the theater.
