Several Star Wars movies that seemed to have been scrapped are still going ahead, according to a new report.
PerThe Hollywood Reporter, movies directed by Taika Waititi and Shawn Levy are still in development, along with the Rogue Squadron movie from Wonder Woman helmer Patty Jenkins, the Dawn of the Jedi movie from Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director James Mangold, and Donald Glover’s Lando project.
None of these projects have release dates yet and production has yet to kick off on any of them, so with a lack of updates and so many potential new films in the pipeline, it would have been easy to assume that at least some of these projects might not be going ahead.
“It’s a different way of development,” an insider told The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s so much parallel work going on.”
Elsewhere, X-Men screenwriterSimon Kinberg is penning a new trilogyfor the franchise,which will feature Daisy Ridley’s Rey in some form. There’s also a standalone Rey movie in the works, directed by Ms. Marvel’s Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, but it’s unclear at the moment how those two projects will coexist.
Next up from the galaxy far, far away, though is a small-screen outing in the form of Skeleton Crew, a newDisneyPlus series about a group of kids on an adventure through the galaxy to find their way back home, also starring Jude Law and Nick Frost.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premieres onDisney Pluson December 3 in the US and December 4 in the UK. While we wait, check out our guide to the otherupcoming Star Wars movies and showson the way.
