After much speculation, Kevin Feige’s Star Wars movie isn’t happening after all.
WhenEntertainment Weeklyasked whether the film was still happening, the Marvel boss simply replied, “No.”
Shortly before Star Wars Celebration, however, aVarietyreport claimed that Feige’s movie wasno longer in active development. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy would go on to confirm this, telling reporters that Feige’s Star Wars project was “something announced in the press” and that “nothing ever got developed.”
“We never discussed an idea,” Kennedy toldIGNat Star Wars Celebration. “As everybody knows, Kevin’s a huge Star Wars fan, and if he did come up with something, I would be all ears, but that’s never really happened. So it’s not an abandoned project, it just didn’t happen.”
Feige has a lot on his plate anyway what with the release ofThe Marvels, the Loki season 2 finale,the upcoming TV-MA series Echo,the new Marvel spotlight banner, and having to switch around release dates due to theWGAandSAG-AFTRAstrikes.
